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

Hi all well my name is tyron devine im 19 years of age. I am on my last year at college now studying motor body vehicle repair spray painting cars etc. I currently have two cars a MK1 Toyota starlet GT turbo and a 1.0 litre B i purchased the B earlier on today for £350 of my best mate it has done bang on 70k and its a W reg 2000 so aint to bad it has a few sensable mods which my freind has carried out since owning. Irmy rep grill, chavy exhaust which is going and he has also smoothed the rear bumper out. I am going to be doing a few mods myself nothing major as i need the funds for my GT anyways here is a pic alot more to come tmorrow comments welcome let me no what you all think. Oo and ino it needs lowering lol tractor style




Its only going to be my daily why the GT is of the road so i aint going to be going mad with it after all its a 1.0 litre lol

looks nice that does mate, espesh with the colour coded bumpers and arches that with some vauxhall wheels could be an AWESOME corsa welcome to the forum anyway mate keep us updated

Thanks pal rekon its worth £350 mot etc ? also i forgot to mention that its been fully colour coded my bad lol im going to de wiper and do lock to tailgate then smooth it also any links where i can get lowering springs from guys or anybody selling any ?

ebay is pretty good for kits, even second hand ones are worth they money, or http://www.corsasport.co.uk is a good place to surf the classifieds its worth 1k with an MOT that is espesh with the low miles, its not often you find a corsa with low miles thesedays, due to them being like 11+ years old.

Not bad abit of a bargin for £350 then i just hate how slow these corsa's are

they're not that bad reeli, those 1l's are rather fast for what they are, when you get up to the 1.6l and the 2.0 and the 2.0 turbo corsa b's thats when you start talking about power

lol ive smoked a few redtops in my starbo mate but i wudnt mind dropping a redtop into this B for abit ore grunt lol

yea but what powers your starlet turbo tho? bet thats gotta be around the 200, a redtops only 155 standard.

its at 185bhp at the momment but there lighter than corsas well mines fully stripped out power to weight its fairly stock going forged ounce i have enough funds see some big power aiming for 300bhp+ anyway how much would i be looking for a full redtop conversion what is needed im new to the vauxhal scene. Gearlinkage possibly drive shafts, engine, loom, ecu, arb spacers ?hoses, exhaust, anything else matey ?

iv got a full redtop and everything ready to drop straight in if you look in the classifieds, you'd just need to get corsa/tigra 1.6 shafts as you need the 2.0 inner cv joints, other corsa shafts have less splines on them then the 1.6 corsa shafts and other vauxhall 2.0 shafts, and due to having a 2.0 gearbox you need the 2.0 inner cv joints that then slip straight onto the corsa 1.6 shafts, and other vauxhall 2.0 shafts are to long to fit the short distance from the gearbox to the outer cv joint, there are companies on ebay that sell motorsport shafts and hubs that you can put on your corsa, but they're best for big power, you can get away with standard corsa/tigra 1.6 shafts, and theirs a fair few about so shouldnt be much of a problem

How much am i looking mate all in all not including labour ?

can have my redtop and box and loom ecu ec for £500 i wont take any less, you'l need to get the 16v engine mount for yours tho as iv got the 8v one, but if you check ebay you can usually pick them up quite cheap, or put a wanted thread up on corsasport website someone usually has one hanging about, but that would be £45 but theirs two parts so not bad reeli, here's an example of what you'l need, both parts http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Corsa-ty ... 572wt_1139 the loom is just join up colour for colour with a small corsa plug thats in the footwell or in your case think its in the scuttle pannel, and use your standard gear leaver bit thats on your gearbox but cut it and extend it by about half an inch ish and the same for a little bar thats on it, and thats it then, you're installed and ready to go, oh and shafts say £40 and inner joints say £20 from a scrappy or something. but all in all £600 and you'l have a redtop in your corsa.

Thanks alot for all of the help you have given me mate great response to. I am really intrested in the engine just £500 :O lol i could spend that on a few goodies for the starbo plus what would i do about insurance mate i cudnt say i have a 2.0litre redtop in lol.

some people do, some people dont, its all down to how your feeling

rrr im going to put it on hold for a few weeks engine wise were are u based mate ?
