[helghast]

are the diesel corsa b's any good? i got a 1.2 merit and want bigger engine and all i see is 1.5td's for sale and not what i want ( 1.6) are they loud,quick,slow? if cant find what im looking for then might considor the diesel if its any good but dont want waste money on mods if its no good.

As standard they are pretty much the same as the 1.6 16 valve corsas up you can increase the boost on them and make them pretty nippy. They aint ever gonna be as quick as a 1.6 petrol tho m8

ive got a td its a solid engine as standard is about as quick as a 1.4 and with easy tuning can easily see 100bhp and tourqe to match

best thing about diesel corsas is you can run em on svo, most newer diesel engines you cant
plus u can tweak the boost up on em give it a bit more poke, alot easier than trying make a petrol car faster!

the secrets in the turbo

what about the oise tho? ano the diesel are noisy but how bad is it on a corsa?

[roperstun]

there not that bad tbf it gets worse once you remove bungs in the fire wall and sound deadening

just got myself one of the 1.5 turbo diesels for free, boy thought he has snapped the nearside driveshaft and was going to scrap it, there was nothing wrong with it other than the flat tire well until i went to shift it tonight and found that the starter motor has gone, so back to the garage it goes, only got it back yesterday and was running fine, got to fit the lowering springs, new breaks, induction kit and back box this week, then get the kit rubbed down, primed and sprayed, then fitted, planning on smoothing out the whole body, seamless, its a 5 door so obviously cant do too much, but poppers on the doors and boot, door strip off and then the panels, should look good after a repray, its burgandy atm, thinking of doing a black and white theme, spray the alloys white and the car black.
