help with SRI

Post by dandadan »

Hey guys, I noticed on someones signature that it mentions how many gsi's are left on the road. Does anybody know how I can find out how many SRI's are left?

I have tried looking on the DVLA site but I cant find anything about it lol

Cheers

Cheers for that pal. I have an sri with just the basic of changes at the moment, but I have decided to leave it totally standard and have a totally original sri.
So because of this I am on the look out for some sri wheels, and another corsa to mod :D

Where did you get the info from pal?

Cheers

Dan

I cant knock the guys that break gsi's cause I want some gsi parts for my project car lol. I wouldnt mind gettin the one on ebay now, I just dont have the cash for it at the moment. I have just baught all my tools for my garage and still looking for a ramp, I need to sort my sri out and start making money for my 'chav' 'modded' corsa before I think about a gsi project lol.

I am on with standardising the SRI atm, just looking for some SRi alloys and it will be done. I hope to restore a GSI aswel within 12months, and build my beast from a standard 1.2 or wotever lol. I just wont be wrecking/breaking a gsi or sri. Total idiots the people who do this lol

Cheers for your help matey
