Ever since i sold my old Corsa Redtop i have wanted another so i got onto Gaz to see if he still had his for sale. Lucky for me he did  Now on Corsa No4 and its my 3rd Redtop Corsa 
Just thought i'd add some pics of it after a quick Wash and Wax
Spec that i know of...
1997 1.6 Sport
C20XE. Stainless. Decat. Kent Pulleys. F20 i think. Working PAS
Coilovers all round (not sure of make)
2.0 Brakes.
Rear Rollbar.
Cage. Cobra Monacos with Harnesses. 300mm wheel.
Smoked headlights with HID's. De-badged grill.
I'm sure you can work out what the wheels are. Set of 5 but no caps :-( (for sale soon)
Bits i added so far, Ally strut brace from one of my old Corsas. Sealed carbon filter (not in pics)

Coilovers are FK if they're the ones I sold him.
They are the more expensive ones with more adjustment, not sure on model.
Nice buy Andy.

Very nice buy Andy I was also tempted to buy it a few weeks ago, didnt get past thinking about it though.
How does it feel? Still pull strong? Was a proper good engine when I had it, regularly well over 150bhp on various rolling roads. You going to use it on track?

Looks nice - quite a nice colour as well. Black alloys really suit it - how much was it up for?

When i had the engine I bought a pair of mild cams and pulleys, I liked how quick it revved with the lighter pulleys but I thought it drove better with the standard cams so flogged the uprated ones.

Surely you can't notice the difference of putting lighter cam pulleys on?

Cheers dudeeaTea you said the other night at the meet. Glad you didn't haha.
I have no idea what it's like yet as it's not on the road. It's got a bad blow from the flexy so I need to get that sorted first. As for track, who knows. I'd like to tho deffo.

HaHa it really does look like it's been on fire. I'll get it sorted. Just got a new gasket for the cam cover so it's the next job.
I'm all for silver wheels.

HaHa nice 1. I was looking at a MK3 Fez with a RS2000 engine on pistonheads and also a cheap RSturbo but I didn't have enough at the time so decided on this. I will get another Fez 1 day mate
