Boosted daily ...
Got myself a little corsa b 1.5 td and so far so good
its got 2.0 front brakes with drilled and grooved disks, braided hoses, power flex rear bushes, corsa sxi alloys, tigra scuttle, sport interior and i think thats it, for now.
just picked this kit up for it
and these are the only images i have of the car atm
needs some tlc but im really happy with it, much better than that cavalier

It's a great car. Dan will not be putting 3 meter lengths of anything into it

Re: Boosted daily ...
It's a pointless mod puts more pressure on the pump and the turbo works harder. Anyway it's a diesel, it will never be fast or good. They sound shit and always will. The only good thing they do good is pull load and give good mpg, so why change it

What about running it on veg oil, Dan? Worst thing to happen is the seal at the rear starts to leak abit. Can be changed with the pump still on the car. Cost me £30 for the seal and will last the life of the car after its changed.

I did run my escort van on a 50/50 mix. Certainly saves money if your doing loads of miles. I don't use it any more the smell put me of lol

Good ol' corsa B, I had a 1.2 Twist model and loved it to death....Literally
Love another and have been looking at the Sport model ones but the TD should go pretty well for a small car

Re: Boosted daily ...
few updates
since lowering the car its really annoyed me, as it looks sweet at the hight its at, but rubs like a cnut over bumps and turning hard. so ive got different shocks and springs ready along with new top mounts and bump stops.
and im going to change the wheels once i find some tyres for them.
got these:
i've always thought these look great on a corsa and there not that common in 4stud.
got a few bits for a service too, oil and fuel filter, oil, new header tank and a new gearbox speed sensor as mine doesnt work.
