Install
Twin exhaust
Pipercross
And a Nice engine Bay

sounds kool, ur planning to have it all done 4 nationals next year rnt u?

Maybe!!

same as every1 else then

get somethin different mate, ya just gonna blend in with every1 goin wit a combat kit

on the note of the car...lookin tidy

there is a kit on stxstyling that am thinking to get but not sure yet, and its a good price as well.

If he wanted something that didnt blend in im sure he'd of chosen a different car to a new corsa meesh

Sorry mate, i know its brand new and everything which might be what your into, but i cant justify spending a serious wedge of money on something that aint that quick and is just a normal car that looks like every other corsa out there

All depends if i get a red top next year dusnt it!!!!!! or some thing else!!!

Why buy a 1.4 twinport if your looking to change the engine??

Is it really a good idea swapping a brand new engine with little miles on for something with older technology and more miles? If anything this'd drop the value of the car surely?

To get something quick you got to have a nice insurance company to insure you!!!

with me av got a claim and 6 points.

Am looking to buy a brand new red top or a calibraworx engine in the future!!

Some thing like this

Will that even fit?

what engine is that? looks like its out of a HGV

That is not the engine I SED something like THIS,

This is in the back of a drag car.

Needs work to make it not "another corsa"

I cant justify buyin a brand new car then raping it with mods either. U paid all that money for the newness and then ur just gonna pull all the new things off. If u were gonna change the bumpers etc anyway why not just get a 2 year old base model or somethin and save a lot of money?

Its all about what you want tho and if u dont mind payin for a new car then you go boi.

The thing is that i never paid the full price for it. I got 17% off with me dad working in vauxhall. And i used ALOT of gm points so that took the price down:

It was

No deposit
0% finance for 3 years
Sport pack i got for £200 (normal £695)

The car should of costed me £14,579.
I paid £8,976.38

An nuffin is getting done to it until late next year - bumpers etc.

Plans for it in the near future is - 40mm, install and front windows tinted.

Thats the good bit!!! What COULD u get for less than that money tho. An 01 1.8 astra SRi/SXi?

as we were talking about you getting you front lights tinted i thought i would do a photoshop for you

cheers for that mark. looking good.

if you saved 5 an a half grand basically y dont u sel it an make a couple of grand off it as even if it sold for 13grand or 12.5 than uv stil made a profit an u cud pay the finance off an stil hav a couple of grand to yaself in ya pocket, makes sense to me but dunno if thats just me

Tis an idea that john. But we seem to have a bit of a vaux lover here so he may get another vauxhall,and hes lost all his GM points. And his dad may not be allowed another discounted car yet?

13 grand for a corsa!!!! No way in hell would anyone pay that!

A 1.4 corsa for 13 grand or an Fiesta ST150 2.0 for a little bit more,i know what i'd choose.Obviously the above applies to some1 hu has 13 grand,is over 22 and has no discounts anywhere

U can get so much car for so little money these days. IE/ 99 plate Volvo S40 2.0Turbo. Really nice cars IMO. Safe,luxury and power with ok looks

not everyone has a luxery of some no claims bonus' and 0 points mate

granted get another corsa but he cud stil get a new shape thats faster then the 1,4 twinport for cheaper or even get an old faster motor an use the couple or grand you made to make it unique on the outside as it wil already b nippy

personally i like the new corsa but i wud neva trade me corsa in for one as id b to scared to fiddle with a new car an i neva believe in finance on cars as that car isnt urs til 5 years time!

Me dad can have discounts whenever he buys a new car or whenvever he wants, From any Lookers garage. Alls he needs to do is sign and give his work code in.!!!

I would love one of those cars, but am not a Ford lover like you. I just like vauxhall cars all together. Theres a BIG thing stopping me getting one of those cars is that am only 18!!! and i drive 75-80 miles to work and back everyday!!! If you want to pay my petrol scoop, i will have one.

I dnt have that problem

Am not doing anything to the engine until me 3 years warranty is up, am not going to lose the warranty with the mods am doing as lookers are doing them. And plus the car isnt going to have a bodykit on it as am going for the street look.

Just an example mate. Sure you cud still get a car that beast that tho for 13 grand thats still insurable for u mate. I mean my m8 got a 318 when he was 18 with 1 years NCb.Cost him a grand to insure FC for a year.Not sayin u shud get a BM but u wud be really surprised what insurance is like these dasy. Only sporty names scare insurance companies. REckon a Foci1.8LX wud be a tiny bit morew than ur corsa on insurance and u cud get a 3 yr old one for 8k and its bigger,quicker and beter(IMO) might start a topic on this actually as we appear to have hi-jacked ur thread.


Main point is. Hope u make ur car gorgeous mate.Its your money

What do you think, lose the fog lights on the bumper as they are on the bottom of the bumper now and get this attached?

Corsa C Race Rear Apron £ 128.00

Corsa C Race rear apron to attach to the standard Corsa rear bumper and supplied with a set of mesh and all fittings. Manufactured from tough ABS plastic.

My new Exhaust!!



*More pictures soon*

***More Pics***

sweet touch mate lovin the exhaust irmsher style!

just out of interest how much did you pay for it an what kinda note it give out?

I paid £50 for the exhuast!

There isnt much of a noise. Just looks nice.

yes

As for the splitter mate. I dont lke it TBH. Theres a guy at leuchars who has one. I dont like the way it shows off most of the tire. Its the rear bumpers fault like and extending it just makes it look worse.

My £0.02

Also you cant remove the fogs as that would make it illegal. You have to have a foglight at the rear and it has to be a certain height above the ground,thats why its seperate and not in the main cluster as that'd blind peeps

if u don't want the front splitter i know someone who will buy it from u

I understand what you sayin scoop, thats what put me off in the end, about seein the tyre. Its just hard to find a bumper for this corsa as the new look ones have different archers on the back.

Yes what?

What gave u that idea?

What dus everyone think about these grills

Yes to them grilles homie,that front splitter looks mint too on that silver one,is that different to yourS?

Yes just a bit.

'YES' it looks lovely

Cheers

My New Toy and Some more pictures.

At the weekend i removed the black strips from the doors, (like an SRi now)lol.

get pictures up soon.

i removed mine on one side about 2 months ago, but had 2 replace them as the paint underneath was discoloured, i was gutted, nice car by the way,

Cheers, I 4t i do mine now b4 it discoloured.

Get them colour coded as well as the arches and skirts.

These are the mirror lights i want.



These are the standard ones



Which ones look better now Lawton?

Had a mod or 2 done over the weekend, all will see when am out and about.

hey do u work in birkenhead on the argyle ind est? if so i've walked past this car everyday. looks very distinguised in the flesh for a black corsa.

Not me mate!

***UPDATE***

Had windows tinted darker - Front and Back

Vauxhall Sunstrip

Boot install

Pictures soon.

This is my boot install up to now!!!

Just looking at these pictures, and av got the same problem as aggy, as you can see the ring marks off the subs on the shelf, so i havnt got room for me 6x9s!!

So put them in a different part of the shelf! You can also get adaptors to fit larger speakers in the standard places if you'd rather do that.

Would they fit in any of these following locations? Have you already bought them?

Maybe get direct fit speakers for the standard place in the rear. For 6x9 money u cud get a mint set of 4" round components.Or whatever size it is

wow them subs look blingin mate!!

which player did you buy them off?

look swish laa

A gay player!! lol

Only joking. Got a week to think about the 6x9s
before i put them in, i have already got them.

***UPDATE***

HEAD UNIT
Kenwood DOOR SPEAKERS
BOOT INSTALL - (NOT FINISHED YET)
TINTS
MUD FLAPS
Removed Bumper strips from doors

Next to do, is plastics sprayed!!

lookin gd mate, i think u should de badge an get an irmy front grill

starting to look nice mate,

if this was my car i would, de-badge it, lower it 60mm, put 40mm profile tyres on, spray the wheels black, make sure the mud flaps sit straight, lol, smoked headights,

ALL IN GOOD TIME.

YOU TRY PUTTING THEM ON STRAIGHT, ITS BLOODY HARD.

***STILL TO COME***

SRi bottom grill, sitting in me room waiting to go on.

Right, started to get back modding my car.

Got rid of the Blue boot.
Got SRi bottom grill in.
Full xenon Headlight kit
Got the buckets in last friday, only took 1 hr n half witch shocked me.
Started messing with Engine bay - met blue and met silver

Pipercross vector on its way - been waiting 3 weeks for it. hal---fords
Back window hopefully getting redone.
A few power gains bits are done and more to come. NOT SAYING.

pictures soon.

Just out of interest, what does the "Twinport" mean

i believe its an extra port jet or sumthin in the carb that injects more fuel into it when going up a hill to stop it lagging and choking. thats what the fella at lookers in pensby said to me anyway

id like to know,does anyone know?? i think i heard what it was once but ive forgotten

Av heard the same as this.

Twinport technical data quoted from auto express site

"Vauxhall has also developed a new system for its small petrol engines which increases efficiency and enhances economy by up to six per cent with no loss of performance. We sampled the Twin Port technology in a prototype Astra ahead of its spring debut. The test model had the same 100bhp 1.6-litre credentials as the existing car, but its separate valves open and shut independently

according to throttle load. This creates more efficient combustion, as with petrol direct injection, but is cheaper than these expensive and complex systems."

Seperate valves? maybe meaning that it can open 1 inlet valve on its own when it wants and both valves when pushed?? same with the zorst valves maybe?

Sounds something like that; a fancy way of saying an interligent 16V system

Picked up my Piperx vector kit on Friday, only to find they have got me a VX220 one, they said it will fit and be alot better for the car. LOL

Where do they find these ppl,

For starts

1. DUSNT FIT
2. SOUNDS GRAP
3. WANT MY MONEY BACK
4. So just gettng a Normal Pipercross. (when it cums in)

never heard of a vector before.Tell them it has to be the one for ur engine as one built for a 2.2 will be too big for a 1.4 and RUIN throttle response not improve it.Ensure u correctly sheild whatever u get from the heat,or maybe just get an element and drilled box?

Here is the vector



The one on the Right

Changed the SXI grill to the SRI grill on the bottom of the bumper.

SXI


SRI

Picture of the buckets i had in. Now sold.

why did you sell them? they looked nice

Changin the interior of me car, soon. dependin on pennies. And it didnt suit the look i want.

the sri grill suits well mate, i changed mine a while ago,

i agree with you on those seats, i dont think they suit at all

lookin good anyways matey

Cheers.

Only messing looks good now paul like what your doing with the car.

sorry, but dont like the engine, looks tacky but if you like it then thats what matters

the engine isnt to my taste but as lawton said if u like it thats what matters

i think the colour coded center console looks very good

Thanks,

Everyone has their own taste, I didnt like it to start with, but its grown on me.

Just booked me car to get the Clifford Alarm

They look nice,who sprayed em for that cheap???

scoop that would be telling

needs lowering about 60mm for the perfect looks. dog damn you cars looking good.


whats happened to you old wheels as they would look good on my car i think.

Keeping the old alloys unless the price is right, (come on down)

THANK YOU GARY.

Daz 40mm is spot on, the suspension hadnt settled when i took the picture after lifting it.

now where have i seen them wheels before? and almost the same colour,

they look good mate, will look even better when lowered

looking good matey, not to keen on the vxr decal though

Thanks peeps,

Not to keen on the vxr on the side meself, just cnt be arsed taking it off.

ill come do it for you mate, lol

thought u liked the vxr on the side

I liked them but not keen on them.

Them alloys look the business.

Your cars coming along nicely paul.

Just need some skirts to finish it off:

"cough cough"



You know where to find me if you want them!

if you want skirts mate, then go for the irmscher set

But I'm not offering to sell him irmscher skirts on the cheap!

I'm looking irmscher sides, I get loads of irmscher bits cheap as my uncle delivers them to lookers garages. So just wait for someone to order them and for vauxhall to go 1 set down in the stock room, but i could be waiting years, if anyone see's any for sale pm me please.

Cheers waddi, but dont think they would go with what i have done to my car.

I think the vxr stickers look cool. not out of place TBH.

***UPDATE***

OLD







In the middle of my Boot





Black Mirror Gloss Rear Lights and Side Repeaters

they look pretty, i want sum

Where going to stick them, on your bedroom wall.

nope on me new car when i get one, or u could just give me urs when i can drive and u can get a new one

lookin good mate, a great improvement the mirrors are to the car

have you ever considered changing your sunstrip to plain black, i think that it would look more subtle

smoked lights work a treat mate

Been thinking bout that all week, am looking at getting a plain black one, with a thin silver line cross the bottom then CORSA in small letters, on the passenger side.

No offence but that idea i think would look poop. either keep it or just plain black. you dont want small details large or non.

Why will is look poop?

Loads of Cali's get it dun and it looks alright.

Havnt had a mod for a while, due to losing licence, and car being for sale.

Not selling it now.

Just added this bonnet. (not my car in pic)

Lower Spoiler Smoothed in
Bumper inserts flushed out
Colour Coded

Springs after xmas, penny less with 700 quid audio bodyshop prices.

Before





After









Mod edit : Post inserted for continuity

the cars quite nice, i think you should loose the bonnet though, its too much and dont look right

I agree with sanchez, still very nice car. Cant say to much about the vent cause I had one on my punto but it didnt seem as out of place as itt does on the corsa in my oppinion think it maybe cause the corsa is very rounded and the vent isnt etc either that or it could be cause the kits is very suttle and the vent aint, really cant put my finger on it. Still if you like it thats what is important and still a very nice car am just being pickky lol. You wana go for springs next think that will finish off the look your after

i like the bonnet, Not to everyones taste, but its my car.

Springs are next, just skint. Re doned audio and the outside so penny less.
