New old corsa sport
Posted: Mon Aug 05, 2013 8:48 pm
Hi guys.
I just bought a Corsa Sport on a 98, 1.6 16v for the Mrs because she wanted a fiesta or Ka. Oh and she hates modified cars, not that it's modified apart from a stupid back box that makes me sound like I just grew pubes (I'm 29) and angel eyes, so I thought it'd be fun to wind her up. And it's in incredibly good condition for what I paid for it.
Couple of questions though:
It's failed MOT on a pretensioner, the drivers seat one has the casing broken on the back and a little red/orange tab is showing. Can I change i myself or is it one of those 'don't touch it because it's actually a pyrotechnic charge' things? Is it difficult to change? Does anything else need changing with it?
It's failed MOT on the brake compensator. Easy fix?
Lastly, is anyone from round the Northants area or on Aggressive Rides?
Short term plans are:
Tidy up the arch extensions (currently the front arches are screwed on, I'm sure this isn't factory spec)
Full on machine polish
Sort the exhaust out, sounds like there's nothing on it at the minute.
Standard or masked headlights. Angeleyes going up for sale shortly
Possibly coilovers, and some crazy arsed stretched rubber?
