Hello boys and girls, I used to be on this site about 2 years ago when it was the old style, I know kev, met him before, and have met a few of the "old lot" as well when i had my nova's.

But now im back with a new car, the name sort of gives things away though. Yes its a corsa, but fear not - my gf is buying my mates' nova this week as soon as she can sort out the cash, and so we'll be needed advice again, plus its such a good friendly forum on here, it would be rude to stay away too long. :lol:

Spec is as follows:

Engine : Piper-x stainless steel mesh induction kit, bosch super4's, powerflow stainless side exit exhaust system.

Wheels : 17" Fox Evo Titanium alloys with 205/40/17 hankook sport tyres, but these may well be replaced with some 16" Alessio speedline II's.

Suspension : Lowered all round 60mm on spax springs.

Brakes : Standard (being replaced with some calibra turbo ones).

Exterior : Carzone concepts front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper, diamond shaped mesh all round, rgm light eyebrows, clear side repeaters, clear rear clusters, chrome bee-sting, SRi rear wrap-around spoiler, green under car neon kit.

Interior : Momo chrome gearknob, momo chrome pedal set, interior neons.

I.C.E : Pioneer 6400R head unit, Pioneer TSA 200w 13cm front components, Pioneer TSA 330w 6x9s on acoustic rear shelf, Boss Sounds 1000w 4channel amp, 2x15" Magnet 600w subs in sealed twin box.

SECURITY : Clifford virtua key immoboliser + remote alarm.

Anyway, here are some pics of my new car, what you think?

2.0 16v Turbo is what i want in there when the styling and interior is all sorted. Or I may just leave it as a all show, no go car. lol :lol:

I do plan to get myself a 2nd car, nova naturally, and use that for my performance mods, and keep the corsa just for styling and ICE.

But all my money currently goes into the corsa, simply because its a new car, and i can justify spending the money on that rather then buy a car I dont really need and cant do anything to just yet.

As i say, my gf has a mint nova on its way anyway, so i'll use that for my performance ideas. :lol: Its a g-reg 1.4SR, lowered on 15s. Needs a new clutch as it stands, so may stick an uprated one in there for her, as im nice like that. lol Sachs clutch, and then i think ive found someone selling some twin carbs for it too - so it should be running about 105-110bhp with the carbs and new clutch. Then its time for cams, lightened flywheel etc. :wink:
