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

Hi, ive just joined this forum and thought id post some pics of my corsa. This is my second corsa b, the first was a 1.2 16v and i have just bought a 1998 1.6 16v sport. i never had problems with the 1.2 and just wondering if there is anything to look out for on the 1.6 sport ?

Welcome put some pics up

hi and welcome

Nice car mate, what you planning on doing to it?

problems to look out for on all the 'ecorecs' as they're sometimes called aka the 16v's is make sure the cambelt and pulleys are changed at some point in its life, because i have got given two engines which on both the cam belt has slipped / gone slack and jumped a tooth and wrecked it. and just make sure you service them often one a year for a definite! any if your going to put your foot down quite often, its good to replace the plugs twice a year, as the centre electrode dropped out of one plug of mine on my 8v engine because i used to thrash it, so from now on i try and change the plugs twice a year as such, winter, summer, winter summer etc etc

Not sure yet, wasted lots of money doing up a 2007 Grande punto.
I have some 17" Fox Rs futura alloys, however not sure whether to put them on as 17s might look to big for my car, also took my custom 2x12" JL audio boot build out of the GP so will probably put that in the corsa. as to anything else what do you recommend ?
