Corsa SRi 16v Project.

Post by tempzpooliez »

just a thread of my sri from when i got it to what ive done to it and then to where it is now and whats left for me to do.

baught it in feb with 89k on the clock pretty standard with fox racing 5 spoke alloys on.

Image

Image

when i got it i fitted a stainless induction kit and colorcoded the rocker cover. also painted the passenger side mirror red as it was black when i first got it

Image

then i changed the alloys for anthrocite c sxi alloys, depo headlights and lowered it 40mm on koni adjustable coilovers. i also colorcoded the sri badge and bumpstrips black to stand out a touch more than the origional red

Image

then i got the window vynils, ecotec and c'mon. and put in my lexus lights for the time being till i can get some MHW's just to go with the red and black theme, also replaced the badge on the boot as the griffin was missing.

Image

finally i changed the alloys to cav slabs and colorcoded the interior pieces.

Image

Image


since then i have upgraded my ICE to an alpine 6 cd changer, FLI component speakers, Vibe 6x9s and a edge 900 watt sub and amp.

ive got to change the Lexus lights to MHW's when i get some. also going to de-bumpstrip it and just have the sri badges on the doors like the c sri.

looking for a leather calibra interior to go with the black door cards i have to go in and then its just about finished.


cheers for looking guys

looking good mate but the cav slabs have been done to death now personally i like the sxi ones better on your car. and if you were to de bumpstrip it then get the corsa c sri badges think it would be a nice touch. nice looking car though dont see much sri's going about now.

I know, maybe £500 is a bit too cheap.. had loads of work done on it aswell. Madness.
