Hi,

I had this car about 7 yr ago and wondered if it was still going about the central belt of scotland? It is a black Corsa SRI 16v, with 16' irmscher softstars, smoked rear clusters, lowered 60 on H&R coilovers, stainless exhaust etc etc.

Just running it in the now, but it doesnt feel as quick as the Focus RS I had. Suppose it aint a turbo.
I still always fancy a red top nova. One question, why did ya take the kit off the green corsa you had after the black one? Looked good with that on.

Yeah, the turbo would have a bit to do with it.

Took the kit off cos i had enough of it, really liked it with it on but was loads of hassle with speed bumps and anything like that.

Plus at the time the engine had given up, so stripped it and rebuilt it. Was quick for a 1.6, like the sleeper look!!

a little trip down memory lane. After I sold that car, I got a 106 GTi, and hated it.......

Yeah even the 1.4 16V was a fast wee car for its group, surprised alot of cars.
