ello everyone i was told about this forum from a friend of mine over at VQ9 and as ive not worked on a corsa before i thought i would show me face and get some advice

im a wee Luton lad who has just got him self a little SXI

heres a few pics of my last few motors

my first cally a standard 2.0 16v ecotec se8 (pic taken at Trax 2008)


but after six months






i got over that quite sharpish because the insurance paid out the next day and,,,,,,





a nice shiny 2.5 V6 northcape cally

anyway six or so months after that i made the biggest mistake of my life and swapped it for a V6 Vectra SrI

what a chunk of crap it was

anyway the aux belt pre tensioner gave up so i had to scrap it and get my favourite cally

TA DA
a bog standard Se3 20 8valve c20ne





but as most thing that came to a sticky end and the 3rd piston fell out with the other 3 and came bursting through the block

so i now have

Welcome, bet the corsa is a drop in size / power from your previous cars!
