Betty The Blue Corsa
Yeah you have get out now
after driving it home last night, I didn't really put it to the test as I just cruised it, but after driving my girlfriend to college and giving it a good clean I actually have fell in love with it a lot more I've got coilovers in my eBay basket at the minute so gonna wait until insurance is going to be paid for next week and buy them then save for my calibre vintages and tyres, slammed on 17's can't wait

Re: Betty The Blue Corsa
You should have went for a 2002- 318, or the 2002- 316 came with much better engines, I'm fairly sure the 1.9 in the early e46 316 doesn't produce as much power as a corsa sport
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

I would've but wasn't wanting too much power tbh mate, plus I quite like this anyway it's a nice drive, I'm gonna end up lowering it anyway with some dished wheels and go for either tuck or poke but most probably will be tuck also has 108 brake but I'm looking at an ECU chip so see what happens therejohnny wrote:You should have went for a 2002- 318, or the 2002- 316 came with much better engines, I'm fairly sure the 1.9 in the early e46 316 doesn't produce as much power as a corsa sport

Re: Betty The Blue Corsa
so I've started to mod the car, slowly though
US spec sidelights
The drift/winter wheels and some interior shots (ignore the cassette headunit) looking for a double din
outside my girlfriends bmw household the 3 e46's were at the same house too, my 316, her brothers 318 and her stepdads 330 m sport

Re: Betty The Blue Corsa
So I thought my keys buttons needed a good change
Then my carbon boot and bonnet badges arrived at my girlfriends house along with my HIDs bulb adapter holders
