This little Corsa has been my wifes car for about 3 years and has had money thrown at it since we bought it! The car has had the useless 16v engine taken out and a Nova SRI 8v lump inc gearbox fitted. While the engine and gearbox were out I fitted a full power steering system which has made the car sweet.
The spec is as follows:
Engine rebuilt and new clutch fitted 3 years ago but car only covered around 3,000miles!!! All aprts cleaned and painted when fitting.
Pipercross induction kit (sounds wicked)
Front strut brace.
Bonnet lifters.
M3 style mirrors with indicators in.
Lowered 30mm on PI springs with all new gas shocks
All new discs and drums with GTE calipers on the front
All new suspension arms and bushes etc
New fuel tank
Floor fully painted and suspension parts all painted or powder coated.
Custom made body kit to keep the car subtle but different.
Angel eye projector head lights and Lexus dark rears.
Snap off steering wheel.
Laserline alarm
Central locking
Tinted glass
5 alloy wheels (one without tyre) in unmarked graphite grey with tyres less than 2,000 miles old on the car.
Single wiper
Stainless steel back box and new centre section.
This car is a great little car and if someone wants a fairly subtle but sweet ride this is the one!

its not so much the engine as all the s*** ecotec electrics and poor wiring loom!
8valve is loads more reliable and nearly bomb proof mechanically unlike the 16v ecotec ones
