What Corsa U Driving?
We know now that both Paul and Jonny are driving the classic, beautiful GSi model. I\'m not ashamed to owning up to having the 1.2 16v \'breeze\' model, not that she\'d recognise herself nowadays... I had a phat full system exhaust with 6x3\" oval tail pipe made for her earlier in the year, and with a meaty induction kit, she roars!
Lets hope for a clear day saturday so I can get some pics taken!

hmmm well I did start life with a 1.4i LS corsa ooooh it was sooo good [size=-2]poo[/size]
lowered 60mm on SPAX RSX coilovers, 15\" 100+ Tornado\'s (before TSW branded them), Rage SP11 backbox & full stainless system with no CAT...
was a lil quicker than normal & could keep pace with 1.4 8v SRi\'s upto about 80...
but... 3 engine rebuilds later & 1 final bang cracking the block, it was retired...

the Corsa GSI is the first corsa i bought, pretty lucky to get one straight away without no saving up. before this i had a Toyota MR2 mk2 which i loved but then i went and got myself hooked up with a girl, had a baby and then a mortgage so 2 seats were no good for a family so i got rid. never mind though cause she let me have the corsa GSI and i frickin love it too bits, never looked back since i was gonna get a corsa-c but like corsa-b shape much better, maybe just my taste but there ya go .

sig says it all really.
a \'93 1.4 flair basically its an ls with coloured dials and switches, a jackson pollock style trim job and a sports steering wheel. the previous owner added the 15\" astra alloys and a ss exhaust tip and i\'ve added a gsi spoiler, smoked rear lights and clear side repaters (if anyone has smoked ones and wants to swap for clear ones let me know)
i\'m planning on getting a 1.6 sport in 18 months when i\'ve payed off the loan on this one so i\'m not going mad moding the 1.4 maybe just a ss back box and a 35-40 drop

welcome to the boards!
I started off with an LS, not a bad car really, the SPi lump also isnt as slow as people say, its punchy where it counts!
