Corsa B's....Talk To Me

Id like a standard looking early GSI

great handling cars easy to do up AVOID LEXUS LIGHTS LOL
googled for you

Had a 1994 1.2 as my second car. As much as I made out I hated it, it was a great car. Did everything I asked of it. Never broke down once. Was economical.

One problem with Corsas is the amount of times they get broken into. My old one was broken into 3 times while owned by the previous owner and twice while I had it. Because of the young driver image they have, if you have a non-standard stereo in there they'll also asume that there is a sub and amp in the back. There not exactly hard to get into either.

Have heard good things about the GSI's and the 1.5td's as mentioned by Quirtina. I think the big problems with Corsa B's now are the rust and rot setting in and finding a clean one that hasn't been ragged to within an inch of its life.

There was a chap on here with a peppermint green 1.5td which a chequer roof and low.... looked reet good actually, I was considering going down the same path but got a cavalier instead

Do it

Cheap and can look very nice as the pics prove. I was after a TD for the Mrs for a first car but they seem a little on the rare side but prob less likely to be raged unlike the rapid GSI's.

Like the P slots idea, 14's can be had cheap (even I rock a pair when I can afford the low pro tyres) the 15's are taxed to death and adapters for the porker rims are gonna cost as much as a decent set of tyres. Loads of options what with the 4 X 100 ness of the b for cheap win.

look at oval racing ones simple mods make them look amazing

Lol, these cars are so cheap over there in the UK. My sister bought one 6 months ago, about a 1995, 5 door 1.4 manual in base spec with air con but spotless like a brand new car and only 130,000km on it, full history etc. It was $4000, which is about 2,300 quid. They go for about $3000 in average condition for their age.

It was only yesterday I was looking at one of these making 'hmmm' noises. It was an early 3 door, with black bumpers and the povo spec half hubcaps. Excellent base vehicle for doing something interesting with, or just the usual rim and drop

What works for a Polo works for a Corsa.
Gray 5 door on BBS RM's containing win in large quantities.

Had a set of coil-overs for these laying around, so bought one
thinking I'd dump it down and stick some of my 4x100 wheels on it, however I HATEEDD it!
i had a 1400 auto and the box was awful.
Handled like curse word .. desperately needs rear arb, understeeer was hideous.

build quality was less than desirable.
Never have I sat in a car where i can pretty much remove the entire dash without any tools or any real effort.

I have to say though.. the brakes were great lol
