Well i've gone all gay and i am buying a corsa c (1.2 sxi) for a uni runabout as the novas coming off the road for a long awaited rebuild. And i was wondering if anyone knows of any good forums or any good online sites to get information from.
I know there is corsa-c.co.uk but i cannot bring myself to go on there, its full of idiots ( imo )

Corsa-C is pretty typical of the kinda content you get on that kind of car, I can honestly say after looking at the more popular Corsa C, pug 306/106 sites that are around we're rather spoiled here lol

I dont want to start a slating war, but, i signed up ages ago on there, purely to try and get information for a mate who is useless with forums. But went on there and it was a joke, dont want to go into details as im not into the whole gossip thing but i left and havent signed back on. I know the admin on here are tight on rules, but its for a reason imo.

I signed up on a popular Pug 306 site for some info and it was a joke tbh, 90% of the threads were complete drivel or how to bodge/**** up a car in 10 easy steps. I think it's more the kind of members you get on sites like that, than a lack of rules etc, that kind of car just caters more towards someone going for something mainstream that doesn't have a wider knowledge of cars etc.

Allcorsa is pretty good tbh except you will get an "infraction" for text typing, which isn't a bad thing unless your name is Danny SP (or AlexW lol:p)

can be a bad as the omega one

some one went from 205 profile to 195 profile tyres, and he phoned the insurance company and classed it as modified lol

As per most of the comments, you probably wont go too far wrong asking your questions on here first, i post my astra mk4 questions on here before going on AOC with them as i know the people on here have a very varied knowledge on cars in general and id be pretty surprised if there was a marque of car that couldnt have its problems solved or advised by someone on here:d

would also slightly alter the profile too

and i cant see a corsa c really being that much different to a nova. mechanical wise. must all be similair

C is far more modern and therefore an ass to work on!

If it ever needs a headlight bulb sell it lol

I've seen them try and fit one for 2.99 at halfords. Half hour later they went back inside lol

lol, fairplay to them i would be the same, think its the only time in the world you can justify the 3/4 quid it costs for them to fit it!

CCUK is a total waste of time. I would say in my opinion its full of fcuks up & retards but that would be a lie as its actually a fact.

And there a bit shÃ*t to work on aswell :(
