My 98 Opel Corsa B 130i

[98CorsaDre]

Hi guys I'm new, I checked your posts out and decided to do one of my own, Ive had my Corsa for a while and have made a few changes but nothing major to the engine, I'm still waiting for the right engine to come my way , looking into a Astra 200is but still not sure? Will post a few pics of what my Corsa looks like before and after, then you guys can tel my what you think...

Wen I got my Baby...









Then after a while put some vinyl stickers on, was a phase I was going trough...lol


The interior


Desided to put my bro's mags on just to see how it looks...nice




My bumpers started to brake off after a while from all the speed bumps... took them off and replaced them..From this...

To this...





Lowered a few mm's,..













Got new light aswell...


Had to redo the engine, bent all my valves , will post the pics later...

looks awryt mate not keen on the stickers and the bonnet bra though. what bumper is that? looks nice ive got a white corsa too what plans you got for it?

[98CorsaDre]

haha..ja I took off the sticker, the bumpers are for a Corsa lite a newer model in S.A, I wanna respray them white, should look good I think?

[98CorsaDre]

will post a list later with all my plans still to be done...it should be long! lol

[98CorsaDre]

Ok...so had to replace all my valves and redo the whole head because the can belt came off... This cost me about R2000.00
My friend Towed me home...

Striped the motor right away...




Got the head back all new parts it looked brand new


Cleaned the block...

and started putting everything back together...
























All done... and she drove so much better!

What I'm planning to do next:

Centre console to be sprayed silver
Put side skirts back but sprayed black
Spray calipers red or yellow?
Respray mags matt black?
Tint the windows
Install new back lights
Redo entire interior black
Spray b-pillar black
And finally look for a decent motor...

will keep you updated...

what engine is it mate? a 1.2? or a 1.4? and whats with that cheetah 130i stickers i dont understand that bit as the vauxhall engine that had 130bhp was the 2.0 8v in the astra etc wasnt it i think the biggest bhp engine in a corsa was the 1.6 which has only got 108 i think it is so yeaa any reason why?

[98CorsaDre]

well as far as I know this is the standard 1.3i motor that came with the model, its the smallest model here in S.A after that its the 1.4. the stickers was probably put on by the previos owner, im planning on taking all the badges off, not sure what you mean about the other stuff??

Here's some pics of the interior...

my little friend

had a 7"LCD in but that got stolen, should have known that would happen!





my sound, nothing big but it does the trick





installed new dash lights...

liken the bonnet spoiler i guess ( it doesnt look like a bonnet bra :L) and poo one about the dvd player how come theres no clock there! i want rid of my stupid clock! it has a mind of its own and comes on and off :L shame about bumpers tho theres another guy with a white corsa b like that on here and goes to show plastic can be fantastic

[matty101]

really good project mate, nice to see what corsa's look like on the other side of the world.

keep us updated

kind of like your interior, never seen it over here in uk thou

[98CorsaDre]

thanks guys...glad you like it.
That's a bonnet shield I have on in front (made of plastic) to protect from rocks etc.. about the clock on the dash, only the GSI models come out with those here, not much of a use anyway? lol
And I still got the old bumpers, don't know what I'm gonna do with them? will take some pics of them so you can see what the damage is...the side skirts I'm planning to spray Matt-black this wknd and put them back on...

[98CorsaDre]

My brakes failed this morning and I got the fright of my life, took it to GM cus they fixed it last, now they say I have to replace the left back wheels inner brake parts witch they should have done in the first place!!

[98CorsaDre]

So decided on rather doing my wheels this wknd and it turned out not so bad, I started on Friday and finished spraying today and I’m happy! (Matt-black with sunshine yellow):D what do you guys think??












Sprayed my middle cosonle silver to blend with the steering wheel...
