Looks good matey.

Ask Lawton/corsajohn on here you could prob go even lower then 60mm if you wanted to.

Think i would like the wheels for my 200 in white.

Like these wheels,explains why they are so popular with corsas. However,not keen on the rear lights or the 16v badges (imo they look tacky)

And you might wanna take caps lock off dude

Pick up a BMC CDA if you can stretch to one. Was probably one of the best mods I ever did to mine. Made a fantastic noise at high revs, and combined with a Janspeed de-cat and exhaust got me up to 125bhp.

wasn't the 1.6 corsa restricted to 105 bhp as they were quicker than the Astra gsi.

like the wheels worth the 700notes brand new.

yep, originally the engine was developed by lotus, and when it was given to vauxhall it was producing 150bhp, but vauxhall had just reliased the astra gsi which had the redtop 150bhp engine in, so vauxhall restricted the 1.6 by tuning it down

is your 1.4 lotus tuned lawton or just vauxhall?

Reminds me of the old 'Redtops had 200bhp, but they had to change the manifold to a restrictive one because it was too fast'.

Lotus did the inlet I think?

Looks a lot better than the tights.

You certainly do work fast, you not got a job? lol

You might get pulled for them rear lights mate, they look a bit too dark just be careful

whats planned next?
Posted By: peewee Re: corsasportjay : Corsa Sport 1.6 - 9th Jan 2007 9:46pm
All in all it looks great, not my cup of tea but tidy enough,lol at the tights though, not keen on the black lights at all (or legal)
good work otherwise though mate.
BLACK wheels happy

Posted By: peewee Re: corsasportjay : Corsa Sport 1.6 - 9th Jan 2007 10:48pm
black drums will look way better, glad your sorting the back lights out too, not keen on badboy bonnets but a smooth boot may suit yours.

took the words out of my mouth
Posted By: scoop Re: corsasportjay : Corsa Sport 1.6 - 9th Jan 2007 10:59pm
a Lawton stlye boot wud be great, not keen on bare tailgates,they look a bit empty, so it'd be nice to keep the reg plate there. Black wheels? maybe a bit much,white wheels? or graphite etc?

Glad u've took the tights off,but u've tinted em too dark,aa light smoking wudda been nice. There is a type of crystal smoked rear light for the corsa that i think is tasteful, that a good suggestion?

Definately an improvement from when u first started, keep tup
Posted By: corsasportjay Re: corsasportjay : Corsa Sport 1.6 - 10th Jan 2007 9:57am
I am buying some black lexus style lights 2day i will have pics soon as theyer on! only because they are well not road legal anymore! lol! ta
Posted By: peewee Re: corsasportjay : Corsa Sport 1.6 - 10th Jan 2007 10:17am
The black lexus lights are the only decent choice imo & why i chose them for mine, i hate the chrome ones with a passion tbh.
Look forward to seeing them on.
Posted By: corsasportjay Re: corsasportjay : Corsa Sport 1.6 - 10th Jan 2007 3:39pm
i have now sprayed the drums black look much better! not in your face now its colour coded with the rest of black! will get more pics when my lights will be on hopefully saturday at latest!
Posted By: DavidB Re: corsasportjay : Corsa Sport 1.6 - 11th Jan 2007 12:25am
Prefer standard rear lights to Lexus any day. Everyone has Lexus ones. Glad you're not painting the drums a mad colour!!
Get down the scrappy and get yourself some discs off a Cavalier.
