err try corsasport. they rot the front chassis legs, sills, and rear arches, and boot floors, the later the better, the sports can be fragile sometimes, but are good and cheap to fix. what else ya wanna know?

corsa B's crack on the B pillar rot where mentioned as well as the bulkhead under the servo where there are 2 rubber 'drains' these choke with leaves and then rot between the bulkhead and the inside of the car. so if you're getting wet feet, check here first.
we se more and more corsa's now with rotten crossmembers very simelar failures to the novas.

Don't get an EcoTec.

EcoTecs suck.

I know a few people who had 1400 16v ecotec sports, and they took plently of abuse.
