my 20k miles corsa gsi project

[rickyrocket]

just thought id post this up as ive been meaning to over the last couple of months...

its a

1994 corsa gsi
grey
20k genuine miles from new..one owner..garaged from new
spare wheel and tool kit still rapped in bubble rap...

was completly standard until i got it..haha but have only made a few sensable mods...

wot ive done in my time owning it....

full respray in original grey,windows out with the full kit off..due to the odd stone chip(just wanted it without ONE MARK)too fussy!

brand new set of speedlines with a spare in the boot..

brand new set of GTZ AVO coilovers....

SBD 4..3..2..into 1 stainless steel manifold..

original brakes just painted and freshend up..

heat sheilds also rubbed down and paintned silver to freshen the bottom of the car up...

the whole bottom of the car was stone chip protected..and then waxoiled..to protect from any sort of rust...

NEAR FUTURE PLANS...

get another exhaust from regal as the one i did have didnt suit the car...

possilby set of vaux mud flaps..dont know weather to put them on or not...

replace front bumper bolts with new shinney ones...

possibly vectra v6 front brakes...

power boost valve...

possible thurby remap...

drop gear box out and spray it due to the factory laqure going a ****y gold colour...

HOPEFULLY BEFORE PVS 2009...

DISTANT FUTURE....

SBD throttle boddies...

Because of the low miles on the car id like to keep it sort of original...but modified...but once thats wore of id like around 150-170 brake...

[rickyrocket]

not the best pics to be honest...but with the car being out of the garage while i cleand it out i thought id get a quick few..

hope you like them...will get some later of it in bed and some of the interior...thanks

[Dell Balallan]

Now that is mint, the engine bay is really clean! good find!

[AK_LET]

I WANT!!!!!!!

Looks good. Glad to see your going down the subtle route and putting some nice sensible mods on.

When I read you'd painted your brakes I was dreading some awful colour. Silver looks smart, but I would of painted the rear drums black.

And speedlines suit that car better than the original rims...which look like tictacs on a plate

[Blue-Zaffy-GSi]

how much did you get it for??

looks mint.

[rickyrocket]

thanks for the comments....i payed abit over the odds for it...but didnt mind as ive had over 20 cars and know good ones are hard to come by...

thanks

[Noodles]

thanks

pls tell, lol ,
looks worth every penny, and you wouldnt get that cheap anyhows!

[rickyrocket]

put it this way if i told you.. you wouldnt believe me... and if you did youd be wanting to know where i live to give me a good punch...hahalmao

[neo1]

dont do too much modding to it, original examples are spoilt when they are messed about with too much in my opinion....

[digidashcorsa]

very very nice keep the pics coming as you get on.

[rickyrocket]

was just wondering if anyone could give abit of advice on wot style of back box i shud go for....starting to pickle my head!!!

thanks

[Y444TES]

beautiful car mate i would'nt just get a back box i'd get a full exhaust system with a 3 inch round tip on the back box

[rickyrocket]

cheers mate...

im going for the full system but just not sure on the back box...but the single round is sounding good...

does anyone recomend a system as i had a bastuck system that sound like a 1.2 clio with a bean tin as a bak box!!

[Y444TES]

i have a wolfrace system on my car mate with a 4:1 manifold and it sounds nice to it.

[Dale]

very very nice love clean cars and attention to detail. althought one thing in my eyes call me a picky Tw*t but the front number plate is wonkey! great work though

[rickyrocket]

thanks for the replys lads...really appriciated!!

the number plate was just set on to take it across the road to get those couple of pics...

i have a new set to go on!!

[philip2]

single outward rolled 3inch.

2 or 2 1/4 right through, nice set of TB's, pistons pocketed with some head work, and 278 cams and you'll have a very nice peppy motor and car

stil cant believe the milage though, fooking awesome find

[davie_slim]
