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

Hi guys I'm new to corsa and new to this site Hi everyone!
Today I thought to myself I want to get a corsa B, Cheap car cheap insurance why not for my first car!
Do little things after a year of having her due to the insurance and it will be my first car. I'm roughly looking on spending up to £1,000 for a nice looking corsa. However I don't know what to look for in a nice genuine non rust car. so if you guys could tell me? And also how much roughly isit for electric windows fitted if I grab a car without them or isit easier to go to a scrap yard to find a door with the mechnisiam with it. Alot of questions in one article thing I know. All I'm going to do for my first year of having my corsa is, Buy some steels & 3 Spoke corsa alloys anyone know what they are called(the 3 spoke alloys) Paint them black lacquer them put them on, Buy a buy and exhaust system thats it for the first year, In the second year alloys induction kit, lower it as much as I can without the drive feeling uncomfortable anyone know how low you can go with it sitting nice in the arches and feeling nice to drive? Please let me know folks NO CHAVVY IDEAS

60 back and front is a decent amount to drop it by

thanks

the 3 spoke alloys are corsa gsi rims

Thanks mate!!

60 all round i dont think is ideal... my corsa is lowered 60/40rear..
nice low stance but a bugger with speed humps in my area mate...
bumpy but looks good =)

yeah I think I'm going to get some coilovers evenutually because they are adjustable and can change the ride hight, would love to see pics of yours, you got facebook or could you email me some, and also of your friends? thanks

Yeah i suppose for the time being to be sure id go 60/40 on springs untill fund permit for coilovers...
mine's worked a treat 60/40 on spax jobs a good'un!
here's my project page!

I like that but I want it so low!! haha, I've got to get my old man to roll the arches before I slam the slag haha! Just bought a few stickers of ebay for the euro look I'm going for well chuffed

Sounds good mate.. my friend has a mk2 golf lowered 90mm now thats low...
i thought mine were the way it bounces me around and i struggle gettin it over speed humps does piss me off at times..
but you just gotta love it.. and the way its improved handling too is spot on!
im glad i didnt go any lower just right.. sits low got a nice stance and i can just about get over speed bumps lol!!

lol, yeah I suppose speed bumps is a big factor in nice stance, I've got to get some 60mm spax springs then ill get some coilies but when the money situation is better, need to get some compromotive's aswell and hopefully going to get my sun protectors in the car covered in rogue status gun show or my roof lineing not to sure yet though man how long you had your car?

Sounds good dude.. i went for spax springs about 2month ago or so... and they set me back £120 delivered... made such a big differance compaired to the standard ride hight!
had the car around 4-5month now and brought it completely standard, im pleased with how she's coming along now too..
after this week she will be looking good..
so got big updates over the weekend for you all =D
next is a nice stainless system.. which i think ill be going down the peco route again as ive sworn by them on my own v-dubs,
so looking forward to treating her..

yeah that sounds dead cheap for the springs, I will deffo have to get some of them yeah you willhave to let me know and you can show me the pics of her yeah im buying a standard one andgoing to do everything to myself :D:D hopefully going to get a redtop in there inabout 3 - 4 years once insurance have got of my back like :D

Yeah i know what you me insurance is abit of a bugger its the idiots that spoil it for the rest of us..
but hey not insured no driving so has to be done..
me personally would love a LET engine mine fancy some turbo power!
but to be fair im just focusing on the looks and the good ol 'attention to detail'
and so far its working..

yeah mate sounds awesome someone mentioned to me why don't I get a c20let or z20let I was like behave my insurance would rape my ass so freaking much! where are you from matey?
