Corsa C - Slammed, Smoothed & clean Updated 12/02/2013

[Furio-92]

Well, had my saxo for 2 and a half year, finally decided to get rid, sold it for £1100. Then bought this little beaut, corsa 1.4 16v exclusiv, heated leather seats, irmy sideskirts, splitter and spolier. 1 owner from new, full vauxhall service history, belt, water pump, timing chain ect all done. All receipts for thousands pounds of work, 61k miles, mot and tax, £1950.

I'm hating, I hate the Corsa, not sure why.

[slammed_saxo_vts]

Not a fan im afraid. Although seems to be good one out of the shitboxes ive seen.

[smiith]

The wheels don't suit it..

[Scott]

Like what you like but I have to question why a car with 61k miles has receipts for thousands of pounds worth of work?

[jasonmayall]

Why do people not like these?
Is it just because theyre not a saxo, same reason people with fiestas dont like people with saxo's etc?
For a small car, they do look really nice IMO.
Looks like a tidy example though mate!

Dont think anyone that has commented actually has a saxo. Or even likes saxos for that matter.

I like them, i just think them wheels dont suit them.. Someone had a nice standard 1.4 16v on my road, had leather interior, was nice..

Looked like that, them wheels suit it much better IMO

I have a saxo... I'm not exactly a fan of saxo's at all. I've got one cause they're cheap and fun cars.

[Furio-92]

Like what you like but I have to question why a car with 61k miles has receipts for thousands of pounds worth of work?

Timing chain, water pump, tyres, every service, belts ect. I'll get some of the receipts and write down whats been done. I loved my saxo, howeever, this is so much better imo

[MiniGibbo]

Why didn't you buy a Saxo, much better car..

[Mochachino]

Have to admit, a Corsa does suit a teddy bear dangling from the rear tow hook more so than a saxo

[Liamm]

I like that. I'm looking at Corsas atm. Doubt I can afford insurance on one but no harm in looking lol. Love the ones with Irmscher kit one too.

Found this on Ebay other day, love it all, could even put up with the 206 vents on the bonnet tbh.

[rob_s]

good cars,got the mrs one was a lot cheaper for her to insure than her old 106 1.1

i drive it quite a bit,fucking drinks fuel! and its pretty gutless

but ideal for her pottering about to work and back

[L33h]

why???

[mattknight1984]

Calling them irmy sideskirts doesnt make them cool...

I dont like these as these engines sound rough, made worse by the rattle from the timing chain. Only car ive come across that sounds like it.

What in god's fucking name is that!?

I'd rather walk than drive that thing.

I like it when they put 'head turner' I dont think they realise theyre turning heads for the wrong reasons

[Giraffe]

Lol, timing CHAIN? Chain or belt? Never come across a car that has a timing chain that needs replacing, especially with those low miles haha. I know my BMW has a chain, it's done 150k and the chain definitely does not need replacing, and will only ever need replacing if the tensioner fucks or doesn't get replaced... So why did it need a new chain? Already makes me think it must be a shit car, without considering you've gone from a small cheap crappy runabout that is a bit of fun, to a more expensive small crappy runabout that wont be as fun... DOWNGRADE.

theres a common fault with the chain tensioner on these that make them loose and rattly. typical vauxhalll

Ohhhh, lovely. Still not sure why someone goes from a small slow hatchback, to a small slow hatchback that costs a bit more... Heated leather seats or not, it's not gonna be comfortable...

[Nik_L]

Z14XEP is chain driven.

Common fault on them, not sure what its down to, possibly tensioner or plastic guides wearing away.

Timing chains are only supposed to last the lifetime of the car (100k). BMW's N42 (utter crap engines) also suffers timing chain issue's.

Its not uncommon for cars to have timing chain related issue's so its not really something that would put me off buying a car thats had a chain change.

lol M42 crap engine? Mines on 150k, no issues... Definitely no chain issue. M42's don't have a chain issue as such, sometimes the tensioner needs replacing yeah, but you can tell and pick it up early enough to replace it before the chain stretches and needs replacing. Tensioner costs next to nothing and is easy to replace...

[daz_zz_er]

I was thinking that as well :geek:

[Nik_L]

Read again Dave....

[iVTR]

+1 Hating

Just don't like corsa's for some reason.. call me a cunt but they seem like a kids car.. :/

Also only a 1.4 :(

[Giraffe]

Read again Dave....

What have I missed? You said it has chain issues and the chain should last lifetime... yeah you mentioned the tensioner but surely you'd just replace the tensioner and not the chain? That's what I'm getting at... If it's been run and the chain stretched, surely that means it's been running like shit with poor timing? You also said the N42, wat, meant M42 engine was utter crap, which is utter crap in itself...

[Nik_L]

No, N42 is a different engine to the M42.

[Giraffe]

Oh shit, sorry! Totally thrown me off 'cos the chain tensioner is the only real problem, other than supposed head gasket issues, that I've ever heard about on the M42 engine! I've never looked past E36's really cos I don't like them ha. Sorry again!

[L33h]

hahahah

Lovely colour and wheels

but it's a 1 litre, and those 1 litres are shocking

[DeanAngell1234]

Corsas are comfyish..... Would rather have a Saxo though :)

[Nik_L]

Corsa's are ALOT comfier than Saxo's.

Decent enough cars Corsa C's.

Won't be long till this is finished. About 8 weeks work so far.

Dya think? I honestly find them both just uncomfortable... Too small. Didn't think my saxo was comfy and didn't find my Grandad's or my mates Corsa comfy at all, but I'm used to big comfy cars so yeah

[Nik_L]

IMO Saxo's score a big 0 in the comfort department. I would even say Corsa B's are more comfier, and then the C is comfier than the B.

Don't get me wrong, both aren't cars great for long journeys without having a sore back at the end of it. But Corsa's didn't annoy me like the Saxo did.

[MiniGibbo]

Why would you, e36's are fucking epic.....

[L33h]

Why would you, e36's are fucking epic.....

I do like e36s. but i like them less now that you said they're epic. I cant fucking stand that word

[MiniGibbo]

Yolo...

[Chr15]

cool car mate

[iVTR]

Yolo...

Fucking lol!

[D1zzyman]

mother of god why :( the main reason why i hate these cars is because im 18 and every one i know drives one and they all hang out at mc'donalds ...unemployed sponging of parents cnuts but they're still my friends :)

[Gandi699]

Wasnt your VTR cammed? why would you swap one for a 1.4 corsa C or even the 1.8 sri for that matter?

[lewismonteith]

Corsa's are for old people and kids with rich daddies, they're way too feminine for me and could't justify spending that much on such a bland car

[Furio-92]

My saxo was cammed, loved the car dont get me wrong, but just wanted a change, and always like the saxo's, i understand that it wont get much love on here, however, people like different things, I'll keep you all updated, and hope i can change some of your views throughout the progress, thanks for looking anyway guys and gals

[iluminusbutterfly]

Corsas are for pensioners, girls and gays, which are you?

[Furio-92]

A collaboration of all 3, girlentionay

[Mieran]

I hate Corsa Cs with a passion

I've had a 1.4 SRI, 1.0 with z20let and a 1.2

I will never buy another one again

[Carlvtr88]

I think they are OK looking and far better inside than the saxo. Although dont be surprised if the head gasket goes. I know of several of the same car that went in the space of 3 months.

[Prickle]

Corsa Bs more comfortable then a Saxo, are you insane? No more comfier, worse. My mate used to have one. Went well for a 1.2 tbf.

As for OPs Corsa, not been in one, cant imagine it will be much different.Edit; even the newest Corsas arnt comfy so.

It looks tidy but im not a big fan of them and its not because i own a Saxo. They dont do anything for me.. and a saxo does? stfu mush.

[Chez99]

only reason i dont like corsa c's is that theres two many about, but then again im driving a saxo lol.

[Al1x]

I quite like the corsa! not bad little cars

[0rang3peel]

literally the worst purchase ever

[Saxologist]

If you had a cammed, VTR'd furio (essentially a 1.6 (cammed))

You downgraded to a 1.4 for a change? Why?

[Ryanoo]

Aw everyone has said why downgrade in engine size.. Got some immense plans? Not really a fan but not a hater.

[manta]

What were you smoking when you decided a corsa c was an upgrade.

My mammy has one, after 30 mins behind the wheel I was searching for the razor blades.

[Furio-92]

Well I love it, so much better than the saxo, each to their own

[craig180]

That's a pretty good price to be fair.

Still hating' though. For 2k I'd have bought an old Audi estate

[saladdodger]

How many people on here are going by looks?? Thats fine, i would buy a car i dont like the look of either.

How many people on here have driven this shape of corsa, like the shape but want to look cool so say it shit.

I delivered a few when in the car industry, they are a nice drive, nippy enough and built better than a saxo.

I like them, you could do much worse.

Just dont chav it up with a stupid body kit and wanky wheels. ;)

[L33h]

I hate the look of them, the build quality is shit and there horrible to drive.

[Ryanoo]

Well I love it, so much better than the saxo, each to their own

Better change your username then.

After all of that Corsa wanking-off you bought a saxo. :homme:

[Furio-92]

I'll not be changing my username :P I'll not be chaving it up, i like the standard body work, Im getting my coilovers fitted today (later on obviously) Then i'm looking to get my wheels painted anthracite, then the plastics colour coded, Hopefully could sway some of you to like the car, but the majority of you really do not like it.

[Aly]

Liar Liar pants on Fire.

Mieran I will come and find you when you get another one.
You are the North East's ambassador to Vauxhalls lol. You got like 3 Nova's now aint you flol and a Astra Coupe Turbo?

That isn't chav'ing a car up by a long shot, if you want to label it it's OEM+.

[saladdodger]

After all of that Corsa wanking-off you bought a saxo. :homme:

After 28 cars of mixed makes i buy what ever i feel like.

+ i have an Audi 100 Turbo if i want build quality and speed, or a '73 VW Camper for shit and giggles +camping

[Furio-92]

I've got one on CC, But cars going to be very slow progress, and the cars well hated on here ha, so would be mostly negative comments

[desire1]

really nice car mate...
where did you find one for soo cheap?

[Furio-92]

Its a friends Auntie, they've just bought a Range rover evogue and an audi A1, so they wanted it gone

[craig180]

I'd get the debadged grill and paint the rear badge dark grey, but otherwise decent progress

[Furio-92]

Im after a Irmscher one, I know i sound like a typical vauxhall cunt, but i do like them, however they arent cheap :/ Im gonna spray the rear badge once i get my opel one, And thanks. Still got your golf?

[DavidSanderson]

Maybe one day it will be another VTR killer like mine Ant haha!

I like the irmy grilles more than the crap v vauxhall ones we get in the uk

Yeah still got the clipper. Need to get a sensible daily again tbh!

[iVTR]

Dont like it

:'(

[McGuire86]

No worse, no better than a Saxo imo

[Furio-92]

Yeah, Good, I love the little clipper

[martin1985]

not bad looking corsa c, still prefer saxo tho ;) i also think sri alloys would make it look much better. not to say the current alloys are crap by the way lol. i've probably seen you kicking about in this

[Jamie]

Looks nice enough, when I was in my younger motoring years I almost bought one brand new. I ended up with a VTR but I'd sooner one than a VTR if I'm honest.

lol @ making it a VTR killer though as if that's some kind of achievement lol

[stevo67]

Z14XEP is chain driven.

Common fault on them, not sure what its down to, possibly tensioner or plastic guides wearing away.

Timing chains are only supposed to last the lifetime of the car (100k). BMW's N42 (utter crap engines) also suffers timing chain issue's.

Its not uncommon for cars to have timing chain related issue's so its not really something that would put me off buying a car thats had a chain change.

O`h god why o`h why would they fit plastic guides?:wall:To the op if you like thats all that matters.:y:

[Nik_L]

Not sure why, but alot of other manufacturers use plastic guides.

[Prickle]

We all make mistakes I suppose.

wrong section


http://i46.tinypic.com/ab0ua.png

[willsy]

Tried to keep an open mind with this one, sure I've driven one and it wasn't anything to write home about, however the C is a good improvement over the B which was the worst car I've ever driven by a long shot.

At the end of the day regardless of how it drives its your car, as a progress thread it's nice to see how things pan out, I can always appreciate a tidy and well looked after car (you seem to have found the ideal base in this one)

The OEM+ look I was actually looking forward to seeing, even liked the original alloys, powder coating in a darker shade (anthracite) suits black down to the ground (who cares if the colours done often) and it was sitting nice and not too low from the lowering.

For me I absolutely can't stand the Euro scene. The norm of seeking to go excessively low
With silly wide tyres and stretched rims that don't suit the car is a scene I'm looking forward to see die out.

Still, regardless of that a progress thread where things are done properly with the car being looked after with a keen sense of attention to detail is the best read regardless of model/chosen spec

Best of luck with the project Ant, hopefully you'll continue to update regularly despite some of the criticisms

[Ross]

wrong section
Good spot - moved :y:

[Manu]

Tried to keep an open mind with this one,

This is general chat, my mind opens when I see progress in the progress section. Lately people are spamming all sorts of content in general chat that screams "look at me guyze I bought a corsa. Tyre this or exhaust leaking that, what car should I buy in 6 months or what tyres should I choose.

There's a section for tyres, one for pimp my ride progress, one for mechanical problems, one for ICE, one for free stuff or services wanted, one for parts for sale. At the moment, general chat is becoming a big clusterfuck of petty things. The odd (read "rare") interesting thread becoming buried under the flow of attention seekers, windowlickers and google destitute chaps.

Good spot - moved :y:

Thank you, where's the thanks button. Ah HEEEERE IT IS hello gorgeous.

We have a "report a post" feature for just this reason - and yet we see less than one post a day reported on average I'd say :( I'd keep on top of it if I saw more reports and knew where to look :p

[Furio-92]

Well now i realised why i left this forum, never mind, I like it, just thought i'd share

[willsy]

This is general chat

Assuming this started at some point back in the general chat section rather than the pics/progress section where it is currently?

Agreed with the thoughts that general crap, I mean chat section is frustrating at times with some of the blatant shite that it attracts. Very rarely is there a thread worthy of getting involved in. At least it mostly means that the important sections do have good content

[Prickle]

Well now i realised why i left this forum, never mind, I like it, just thought i'd share

be sure to post a pic of them fitted. Probs see them fb anyway. ;)

[Furio-92]

I was going to get one yesterday, however it was dark, and the car is dirty, a good machine polish tomorrow, so will get a decent pic

[Danny78VTR]

This was my Corsa! Too many problems with them,
Rebuilt the whole car bottom up because it just wasn't running how I'd like it

Once you have French it never leaves you

We have a "report a post" feature for just this reason - and yet we see less than one post a day reported on average I'd say :( I'd keep on top of it if I saw more reports and knew where to look :p


give me some mod power, given the amount of clusterfuck in general chat, I could spend the whole day reporting stuff and end up as a grass for attention whores who don't give a single damn about why they should post here instead of there, clear case of look at me.

I pressed the thanks button, but no thanks.

[Furio-92]

That is stunning mate, was going to get my exclusiv's in arden blue, but its becoming very common, and i like different, hens the wheels, i understand alot of people dont like different or corsa's alone, however i hopefully can change some of your views. The corsa is going into the body shop next month for the bumpers smoothed, boot smoothed, arched colour coded, scuttle panel colour coded with the roof rails

Well if it pleases the jury, I promise to be more vigilant in genchat :D

[willsy]

Well now i realised why i left this forum, never mind, I like it, just thought i'd share

Stick with it Ant, like I said projects that are done well with good attention to detail are worth a read.

[Furio-92]

I'll do my best, trying to get as much done as possible while i have the funds, just started a new apprenticeship, and the money is terrible, all about the long run though

Cheers, yeah There's allot of people painting wheels in Arden blue now not just corsas.
That had smoothed bumpers and boot ;) finishes them off nicely IMO
If you have problems with it don't be afraid to ask for some help
Try make your car different! Make it a different kind of euro

Upload the pics soon

[Furio-92]

I will have it looking like every other 'euro' corsa for a little bit, but once i get some extra money, then things will change. Thanks Danny, and i'll get pics up ASAP

[willsy]

Danny, and i'll get pics up ASAP

Pics up later today? How's the engine bay? Tidy bay is nice to see, handy (& cheap) to do to keep occupied with in times of funds hardship too

[Furio-92]

It's clean and tidy, all plastic, cant get a metal rocker cover for it, so im leaving it, spraying plastic engine bays look tacky IMO

Car looks shabby due to being filthy, washed on the weekend

[Giraffe]

I have nothing even a quarter decent to say.

[Prickle]

Plastic archs need painting dudeeeeeeeeee.

Decent clean as said should look better.

[martin1985]

good progress on your car ant! i am still don't know if i like the alloys lol....i don't dislike them either i guess

P.S your mate's Corsa C looks good is it still kicking about?

[Brettles1986]

I'm going against the masses here and actually like the look of some Corsa D's, that said, the one this one is not that nice compared to the oem+ one that was posted

The ones posted are Corsa C's aren't they..?

[martin1985]

[Brettles1986]

Ah fuck it, they are ai :wall:

[Furio-92]

My mates corsa is still flying about, great little car. My car is going into the body shop on the 7th for arched, scuttle panel and roof railings colour coded, rear bumper, front bumper and boot smoothed. Then will be getting a big clean, then new coilovers in February to get the front lower. I dont mind comments about people not liking my car, just dont see why people would have a completely pointless input, thanks anyway guys

[martin1985]

cool! might have a meet sometime ;)

[Furio-92]

Should do matey, out most nights tbh, but more over the weekend, sometimes go to blyth harbour on a sat night to see people from work.

[Holty]

[Furio-92]

Thanks man

[Jay_]

Definitely needs gloss black trim. But, for a corsa, looks OK.

[Furio-92]

Tomorrow, colour coded arches, smoothed bumpers and boot

[Furio-92]

Gave the C a quick wash yesterday:

[Tom5190]

Looks alot better color coded matey!

[Furio-92]

Thanks matey

[Furio-92]

Boot popper is being set up with the rear wiper motor, then new coilovers being ordered on saturday for more lows :D

[Ryan-S]

i'm not usually a fan of corsas, but yours looks sweeeeet :y:

[Furio-92]

Thank you very much bud :)

[edlilosaxo]

looks cool mate reminds me of mine sud of smoothed them plastic over the arches thouh would match better

[Dannycant91]

Looking good mate. Always preferred the B'S but this is swaying me towards the corsa c :)

[Yates]

Needs a hidden exhaust

[m11ler]

Looks nice! Agree with Yates, would look cooler with a hidden exhaust, probably look wider aswell.

[Furio-92]

I know what you's mean, it's being changed to a twin pipe back box, it will make the car look wider and lower, will see how it looks, the back box isnt costing me anything as im getting it off a friend.

And i've ordered my new coilovers today, so should have them come Tuesday, then i can get the front down :D

[Furio-92]

Coilovers should be here today or tomorrow, cant wait to get them fitted and get the front on the floor, once they have been fitted, a trip to Revolution is in order to get my tracking done, love that garage

[Furio-92]

Coilovers have arrived :D Will be getting fitted tomorrow, aswell as my rear wiper stalk, is now my boot opener

[9mm]

looks nice but i would change the wheels,

I had a corsa once never have one ever again! So unreliable and alot of things fail.
Bushes, head gasket, centre pipe, battery, timing chain, wheel bearing, sticky valves
ect ect ...maybe mine was just a unlucky one but still it had only done 60,000 miles! never have one ever agian.

you didnt have a gear shift mechanism go?!

[Slyboogie]

Pretty much 9 pages of hate with about 5 updates. Jesus.

I like them. Not a fan of your wheels myself but that's just my preference. Theres a smoothed one with an early bumper (the one more like a B bumper if that makes sense). Has a set of BBS reps on it. Looks real clean. I think the early bumper makes the front look wider too.

Also, full leathers are not rare as hell but pretty rare iirc? Lik eusually they're half leather? They look nice :)

[Furio-92]

Sorry havent updated, mainly for the fact how much hate its gotten, if anyone is interested in seeing pictures, pleas has a look at my Instagram: AntRichardson

[CorsaDestroyer]

Had a look your instagram pics, think i'm one of the few who actually likes this car haha (love the wheels aswell)!

[CorsaDestroyer]

Oh and please forgive my username ;)

[tyler1400]

Not a fan of C's but this one is nice mate :)
