Betty The Blue Corsa

Post by JamieTee_ »

Yeah you have :lol: get out now ;)

after driving it home last night, I didn't really put it to the test as I just cruised it, but after driving my girlfriend to college and giving it a good clean I actually have fell in love with it a lot more :shock: I've got coilovers in my eBay basket at the minute so gonna wait until insurance is going to be paid for next week and buy them then save for my calibre vintages and tyres, slammed on 17's can't wait

You should have went for a 2002- 318, or the 2002- 316 came with much better engines, I'm fairly sure the 1.9 in the early e46 316 doesn't produce as much power as a corsa sport
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

I would've but wasn't wanting too much power tbh mate, plus I quite like this anyway it's a nice drive, I'm gonna end up lowering it anyway with some dished wheels and go for either tuck or poke but most probably will be tuck :D also has 108 brake but I'm looking at an ECU chip so see what happens there ;)
