Got this late on Friday evening, after deciding that the 1.2 was a bottomless pit and i would never be happy with it due to the lack of power.
Decided to go for something with a bit of poke that i've always wanted.
Over the moon with it.
102k, Long MOT, Interiors in excellent condition, outside has the usual rust spots (Bonnet & Boot) & I'm missing an L Piece from the drivers side skirt.
I have all the jacking point covers but i'm going to bond them on as there commonly stolen, also have the centre caps for the wheels but no bolts.

It's lowered, has tinted windows, a de-cat & an exhaust system.

General Plans.

Speedlines.
Get my badboy bonnet painted & fitted (Kept this from the blue corsa)
Boot resprayed, should be getting a de wipered boot from Slingy next week, and i have a facelift opel badged bootlock surround to go on it.
Facelift rear bumper.
Obtain a mint driver seats.
Full respray eventually, will be re-fitting GSI badges, want to keep it close to original.
Strip back underside and inner arches and re do undersealing.

Engine Plans.

Water Pump & Timing Belt, Good Service.
Performance Inlet Manifold & Exhaust System.
Lightened Flywheel.
Target - 125/130bhp.

Anyway, enough chitchat.










Few Shots From Corsasport Meet On Saturday.

Had it on the rollers at the weekend.
111bhp & 110.8 lb/ft torque.

Powers a bit jumpy at high revs made 105bhp on a second run, but the fuel pump has been whining since i got the car and i havent a clue when it was last serviced so Ryan_G1's got a fuel pump for me and i'm going to service it today, also trying to find a decent filter to replace the cheap shitey cone thats on it.
