Boosted daily ...

[Chip Pan Dan]

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

[terkin]

nice 3 door aswell!! i wanted one them few years back

[Cavalier342]

much better than that cavalier

Try fitting 6 lengths of 3 meter long timber batons in it with the tailgate closed and I will be impressed

Not having a dig though fella, my mate had a 1.0 Ecotec for years and it got him about...

[btcctroy]

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

[Chip Pan Dan]

Its just a daily, but I do want to tidy it up and take it to the vauxhall shows. Its mint on juice can only imagen it will be better once its had a good service

Was looking at buying this after i smashed my TD Cav up

Are you going to have a play with the pump and the turbo dan? 100bhp

[Chip Pan Dan]

I was going to but since ive been driving it ive decided not to, it feels pretty quick for what It is.

i give it two weeks before that mind set wears off

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

[Super89]

pointless mod?

[btcctroy]

pointless mod?

Yep!

[Super89]

pointless mod?

Yep!

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

[Chip Pan Dan]

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.

[Chip Pan Dan]

wheels are on got some 195 45 tyres for them, serviced the car today along with a new header tank, battery bag and magnetic sump plug. feels alot better for it.

also sending my kit to get painted at the end of the week got a good price on it so i cant say no!

[Chip Pan Dan]

dash matt and camber bolts arrived today and dropping stuff off at the body shop tomorrow
