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

At the min I\'ve got a mk4 sri astra, thinkin bout sellin it and buyin a car to start an use for track days.

I was originally thinkin along lines of corsa GSI and stripping it, tuning it etc etc. I Put note on Migweb site and they think it\'s bad idea(suggested BMW 325??) .Any one got any ideas? if not a corsa then wot else would be cheap and fairly pokey.

I\'d recommend a saxo vts. They are quicker than corsa\'s as standard and you can get them up to 160bhp with cylinder head, camms and ecu upgrades. It\'s lighter than a corsa and comes with an all disc set up. Strip it out and it becomes a great track day car. You can get one for bout 3k with fairly low miles and then throw some money at it. Thats what id do anyway.

didn\'t really wanna spend that much buyin it initially, only wanted to spend bot 4000 at most on a corsa (£2000 for the car, £2000 for parts). Not too keen on saxo\'s, i know there quick but..................... Thanks anyways. Any1 else?

well its your choice would prob go for gsi cause they look better than 325, plus theres loads of performace parts for the gsi inc. turbo\'s

plus maybe its me but wouldn\'t the 325 be a bit big for a fun track car? and a bit ugly.

if u can get cash soon and want a good headstart for a track car how bout

that\'s what i thought. small car = go kart handling big fun, pwoer can be uprated etc so not to worried if it\'s bit slow to start with. Other peeps also said bout 205 GTI but not so sure.

you could go pug 205 but i\'d stick with gsi, cause they look better than pugs and would have thought go better.

yeh i think they will once i\'ve spent bit of money on gsi, pug\'s are bit old are square now, i like the smooth ness of corsa. gonna go for gsi i tink. Cheers 4 chat m8 & helpin me make my mind up

205 gtis are quick cars and handel like go karts, i got a mate whos put a 2l turbo in his 205, the thing is so fast

didn\'t say they weren\'t i jst meant that with decent deampers etc on corsa it shouldn\'t be too bad with tuned engine, stripped interior won\'t be that slow either i don\'t think. what does yours handle like Dodgy dave?

old mini cooper or mini clubman, 1.6vtec conversion and a bit of money thrown at it and itll be very fast, they dont weigh anything so power to weight ratio with a 1.6 will be better than alot of 2l conversions in many cars. They handle like go-carts aswell with a conversion to springs. Really easy to get parts for aswell, and if youve got a vtec in it itll never break down!

its not my 205 but the things does handel like a go-kart, it just sticks to the road and you caan throw it about and its fine

After seeing the Nova\'s at PVS on Sunday, I would go for one of them! 12.3 on the 1/4 mile!

i think i\'m after a 106 rallye next bvut probably a 106 quicksilver, saxos are to common, but 205 gti\'s fly on the track, from what i seen at the french car show

Yeah them nova\'s were dusting evo 8\'s by at least a second on a quarter mile!
bit out of your price range but
