What Corsa U Driving?

Post by MattM »

We know now that both Paul and Jonny are driving the classic, beautiful GSi model. I\'m not ashamed :oops: to owning up to having the 1.2 16v \'breeze\' model, not that she\'d recognise herself nowadays... I had a phat full system exhaust with 6x3\" oval tail pipe made for her earlier in the year, and with a meaty induction kit, she roars!

Lets hope for a clear day saturday so I can get some pics taken!

hmmm well I did start life with a 1.4i LS corsa ;) ooooh it was sooo good [size=-2]poo[/size]

lowered 60mm on SPAX RSX coilovers, 15\" 100+ Tornado\'s (before TSW branded them), Rage SP11 backbox & full stainless system with no CAT...

was a lil quicker than normal & could keep pace with 1.4 8v SRi\'s upto about 80...

but... 3 engine rebuilds later & 1 final bang cracking the block, it was retired...

the Corsa GSI is the first corsa i bought, pretty lucky to get one straight away without no saving up. before this i had a Toyota MR2 mk2 which i loved but then i went and got myself hooked up with a girl, had a baby and then a mortgage so 2 seats were no good for a family so i got rid. never mind though cause she let me have the corsa GSI and i frickin love it too bits, never looked back since :D :D :D i was gonna get a corsa-c but like corsa-b shape much better, maybe just my taste but there ya go :) .

sig says it all really.
a \'93 1.4 flair basically its an ls with coloured dials and switches, a jackson pollock style trim job and a sports steering wheel. the previous owner added the 15\" astra alloys and a ss exhaust tip and i\'ve added a gsi spoiler, smoked rear lights and clear side repaters (if anyone has smoked ones and wants to swap for clear ones let me know)
i\'m planning on getting a 1.6 sport in 18 months when i\'ve payed off the loan on this one so i\'m not going mad moding the 1.4 maybe just a ss back box and a 35-40 drop

welcome to the boards!

I started off with an LS, not a bad car really, the SPi lump also isnt as slow as people say, its punchy where it counts!
