Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

Just a quickie, i had a very nice exhaust system on my car, however, it was illegal and i needed it changed for my MOT . I have a standard peashooter. Very depressing. Im looking to just get a temperary fix for this, does anyone know of a backbox which is made for a Corsa B to make it sound a bit nicer for the time being?

And also, has anyone else got the problem of their accelerator pedal extremley stiff to press down on?

Thanks

The accelrator is stiff on my 1.0 mate.. never really bothered me though getting used to it now.. but it is stiff thought about lubbing it up?

I tried that, but i dont think i lubed the right part
Im thinking i might have a sticky throttle cable?

Could well be tbh.. im yet too look into it abit more just havent got round to it bud.. as ive got used to it over the past few days..

Yeah, dont get me wrong, ive gotten used to it, its been like this for about half a year now lol, however it is getting quite annoying!
I have a work company van and the throttle on that is so light its brilliant.. and now its made me realise how bad my corsa actually is and i just want to get it sorted! lol

my corsa is exactly the same, tried everything still no luck. hopefuly sum1 knows how to fix it on here

i thought greese would of sorted the problem.. but i know what you mean i drive my dads 2.2 vectra occasionally and the throttle on that compaired to mine is anougher world lol... im sure a few people have had this problem and resolved it some way or anougher..

seems to be a common corsa problem lol, ill look into it and let you know if it works

cheers buddy

if u look at th throttle cable behind the engine, there is a U clip. if u pull the throttle cable out of there. and giv it a good lube up. the pedal is definatly a lot better than it was. aint great but it does the job. you can move the u clip back and forward aswell. just dont make it too tight or too loose. (Y)

i just replaced the throttle cable made a massive difference they aint very expensive and take 5mins to change and for the exhaust i fitted a 3in rolled tip sportex backbox with a racetube sportex centre pipe keeps the car legal and gives it a nice noise and mine pops really loud when changing gears lol

yeah i was thinking about a sportex centre pipe but i wasnt sure bout if it was a MOT pass or not

if anyone has a centre pipe or know where to get one, thats legal! please let me know

It should be ok

mine passed fine cos its all after cat so all your changing is centre section and back box so u keep your cat and lambda sensors on the exhaust i got mine off here www.corsacentre.com back box was £65 and centre pipe was £80 i think and its easy to fit
