so today i went out and bought another corsa. been thinking of doing some track days for a little while so today i went and bought a redtop corsa for track. couple of bits of rust in the normal places but nothing major.











plans are to get some coilovers, different set of wheels , clean it up a bit and track it!

Not too sure yet, I'm gonna use some normal tyres on a spare set of wheels at first so I can see how long they last etc... Then go from there. As with brakes, not sure yet
