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

Hi fella\'s and fellesses!

Thought I\'d sign up as I\'m looking to chop my Nova GSi in and go for a Corsa GSi for a bit (probably until I can get my AstraG SRi Turbo that I want! )

So I thought I\'d stick a post up to say hello, so \"hello\"


Jules

P.S
Oh and check my sig!

Yep, this one taken from PVS last year.

Wheels, suspension and brakes will probably be coming off the Nova and going on to the Corsa when I get one.

How much can I lower a Corsa GSi on 16\"s before I start to have to make arch mods?

welcome jules
Nice nova, very clean
( i did the post the photo up, but it was enormous so ive taken it off again)
i\'ll keep my eyes peeled for a corsa gsi
id say 2\" on 16\'s
i had my engine done in ipswich, place called MJS on nacton estate

60mm looks good on 16s imo mate, i think youll just get away without it scrapping. i think im going 60mm down on my 1.2 with the gsi rims, not doing much to it though. as i want a newer car, so just going for, lowering, lights, few subtle mods and thats it, might get rims aswell if i find something cheapy.

That\'s why I linked to the image rather than displayed it!

Yeah I know the MJS guys, Squint who works there has produces some awesome motors, RS turbo powered rear engined Pug 106, rear engined RS Escort and a twin engined escort pickup to name but three!

Yep thats it, i knew you wouldve heard of them, that pug was awesome,
both the pug and the green pickup were sprayed same place im getting mine done. that pick up, was made using the parts from the blue escort (which he wrote off)
bit on the expensive side, but good at what thy do

Hi treacle, I\'m also loving the idea of the Corsa GSI, I can picture it in my head and it\'s looking awesome!
What I\'m not loving though is a (common!) Astra GSi - I\'m after the only_500_made rare Astra SRi Turbo and not the common as muck MK3 neither!

Jules

Corsa GSi tho.... gotta be in carabic blue

My brother has a rare S reg GSi (They made about 400 last of the line late model MK3 GSi\'s but most were R reg - infact his is the only S reg GSi I\'ve seen) in metallic black and it looks awesome - totally standard apart from a Magnex backbox and smoked side repeators - he keeps saying he\'ll sell it but never does, if he ever does I\'ll let you know

***MOVED TO ABOUT YOU FORUM***

welcome to the site mate, hope u stick around

Going to look at a GSi tomorrow, would of gone today but the guy had to go out.
/me crosses his fingers....

Good luck Mr Sumner

Remember the Corsa doesn\'t handle as well as the Nova... so a set of Billies should be top on your list - or the FK group buy
