Hi folks, new too the site, bought my self a corsa sport 1600, my pal had one had a wee shot and thought i'd get one, a change from my previous cars bein the likes of an impreza or my bora 2.8 v6.
Im loving the corsa, sorta reminds me of my old novas from between 7 to 9 years ago ranging from a 1.0ltr carb 4 speed too my 1.4 sri rapid so it was.
With the corsa it was tidy enough, it was standard with standard sport wheels but im almost certain its been put back too standard.
Ive lowered it 60mm on standard shocks, there gettin binned soon for shortened shocks as im not a fan of coilys,
Also ive wrapped my centre console and the bar bit in carbon vinyl,
Took my roof lining off and my pal retrimmed my roof in blue camo looks amazin lol,
Fitted 15inch crappy rims but there clean and not scratched bargain at £60 so bought 4 new tyres of the bay,
Patched my drivers seat bolster up with a jack Daniel's tenesse whiskey iron on patch,
Engine wise,
new rocker gasket,
new clutch as a spring for the pressure plate snapped,
Coolant temp sensor
Im just about too replace the cross member thats in my hall for next weeks welding job
Cars solid apart from the spare wheel well being previously welded
So the next mods im doing are:
Powerbox for the inlet,
421 branch manifold
New injectors (too read up on which one to use)
And finally shortened shocks,
And no doubt ill want too do more too it, gr8 wee car wish i got one sooner ive had 1 subura, 2 Volkswagen, 3 hondas, 2 Mazdas 4 novas, 1 fiat punto dont ask!, And finally a fiesta zetec s, and now my corsa sport which seems too be the best out the lot!!!!
The regy is w57 tsx its silver does anyone know much about it,
Cheers and i hope use dont mind the novel, phil
