Not a nova though lol...

I was planning to pick up a red gsi last weekend, but a few unexpected bills cropped up at home meant i couldnt stretch to what i was going to pay for it :(
Anyhow...
I spoke to a chap on here and arranged to pick up my new smoke grey gsi.. some of you may recognise it as Gav's old one...

Not 100% on my plans for it as of yet, but has a rebuilt x16xe with chipped Ecu with raised rev limit and a genuine Mantzel powerbox...

I do have a c20let sat here but quite like the car as it is, goes very well for a 1600 imo.
Anyways its in safe hands :cool:

Still have my nova shell here though as no one seems interested so might fit the let into this, and x16 into the nova

unsure to fit my c20let, stay x16xe or go for a c20xe on tb's

Looks a very clean gsi IMO keep it as is and put the LET back in the nova lol

Shaun

if the nova doesnt sell southie, i will most probably source a c20xe for it then sell it

I'd keep the GSi with the 1600 but that's my opinion, up to you what you do with the motor mate :) Not many 'standard' GSi Corsas about now

Shaun
28-09-10, 06:43 PM
i prefer the rears to standard lights...

phase 3.5 with power wheel

vaughanmc
28-09-10, 06:44 PM
They look like the optional Irmscher back lights ?

Shaun
28-09-10, 06:46 PM
There smoked Mhw's vaughan, exactly the same as the irmscher ones but without the I

vaughanmc
28-09-10, 06:47 PM
Ahh right, I'd never seen the MHW lights where you could see the colours through them...Only Irmscher ones I've seen are like that

Plug
28-09-10, 06:48 PM
arhh see i prefer standard rears Imo

Right so with this 3.5 what will i need to get myself?

Shaun
28-09-10, 06:55 PM

Got a cossie regulator for that also ;)

MHW's need keeping. The fronts are clear FK's are they not? Cool.

Other than engine stuffs, plans?

Paul

Love Corsa GSi's, only trouble is, they come with the worst alloys ever made from factory IMO

Shaun
28-09-10, 07:51 PM
just keep the car clean.

needs some vauxhall mats fitting along with a new set of gaitors.

also want to swap the airbag wheel for a early gsi wheel(when i can find one lol )

Shaun
28-09-10, 07:54 PM

Paul

Get a late airbag wheel until you find a leather GSi.

Late leather wheels are leather too ofc!

Shaun

unsure if that would look out of place in a gsi though?
