I made this but I never posted... Hello!!

Post by **PaulW** » Tue Jan 04, 2005 4:28 pm

Right well its about time I did post

I\'m a reet lazy fool at times!

Ok, well the names Paul, and I come from the Jolly old land up north... Cheshire to be precise!

Driving a Carabic Blue Corsa GSi (1995 N-Reg) so one of the last ones made, so has all options except the passenger air-bag...

had a new engine about 10k miles ago as the cambelt went & a piston said hello to the bonnet...

not too shabby condition!

gona do a few things to it, but just a case of getting the cash!

Ideally I wana get it done for PVS, but think it might not be finished in time

ahwell if I see anyone around the north-west, northwich/liverpool/chester... keep an eye out!!

list to get done for PVS...

all alloys refurbished good as new
lowered 60mm on coilovers
full respray in same color
smooth out the roof rails
delock & dehandle doors
remove bootlock & surround

ummm think thats it

shouldnt the respray be last on the list? why not get some blue silocone hoses colour code your air box (you have stuck that back in and ditched the cone havnt you?) adn try and get one of those plastic engine covers and colour code that. should be one of the best looking gsi\'s out there then

still got the cone filter on, will be trying to get a standard airbox & modify it but no-one has properly offered me yet

problem is it HAS to be from the X16XE engine as it is different from the X14XE (slightly)

still have the plastic cover, thinkin about color-coding it...

respray is last on the list, all the bodywork is being done together

i\'ll keep an eye out for one for you.
there was a fair few corsas down the local scrappy last time i went but i think the best they had was an sri.
what did you do with your standard airbox anyway?
