I don't suppose anyone has ever noticed and attempted to sort out the appalling amount of road noise and booming that comes through into the cabin on corsa b models? Compared to my other cars I always found corsa b's quite annoying, especially on anyhing other than totally smooth road surfaces!

My accelerator is anything but stiff. You move it an inch or two before you get any life from the engine, could just be the 1.0l though
You can plant it into the carpet with ease though, so I've just sort of gotten used to it.
Pretty sure there's a nut on the cable you can adjust it with, but I might be thinking of the clutch.

Can't say my accelerator is stiff and even if it was that would be easy to fix.
Back to the suspension, anyone any ideas how to reduce road noise, its a shame they decided to use sucky tie rod suspensions on corsas!
