Decided spending £100 on fuel for 250miles was getting a bit to costly, so decided to buy a cheap run about for every day driving! found a nice GSI which had no mot or tax on the internets so went to buy it, dispite being infested with spiders i got it home did some basics on it and sent it for an MOT, all went well.
plan is to keep it pretty std, not wanting to go mad like the last one!
purchased a whiteline rear arb (fitted) and waiting on some bilstein coilovers to land for it!
makes you realise how nice the M5 is to drive tho!

I predict 3 - 4 months until it's stripped on tb's and 1,000,000 bhp.

Sand-eel, yes that's why I needed to stop using it, doing too many short journeys bythe time I got to work it was just warmed up etc! Add to that I can't help but put my foot down when it is warm!

Haha, no not going to happen! Just keep it clean and do suspension maybe some wheels, that's it, STD engine!

Nice, how much you pay for it, out of interest of course.

Seems a shame to modify it at all.
Would personally spend the money making it as clean as possible and 100% standard.

It's a corsa gsi not some rare supercar!
Not planning anything crazy, suspension and that's it just doing that as I got a superdeal! It's just a runabout for a few months
