Corsa B
 

never really been a fan.... but some how i've ended up buying one.









1.6 16v, fully rebuilt, port n polished, new inlet & air intake, powerflex bushes all round.

Drives really nice! i'll get some photos of the bay soon

what do people think?

also anyone know the best forum to use for vaxhaull / corsa b's

thanks rob

Used to like Nova GTE's, but never liked Corsas.

Apparently the 16vs are ok, but theyre never going to set a road or track alight.

Just in my opinion, but i think they look kinda 'fat' ? Is it just me?

Nice mate, Very capable engines and nice handling cars if they're set up right. If you've got a spare 10 grand lieing around, Send your engine to John reid and he'll get 250bhp+ out of it.

I doubt many of the haters on here will like it mind.

My mate has a really tidy looking one, well he's sold it to my other mate now lol.
Don't see many i like though.. never driven one either.

Are you joking??

Oh and for Corsa info and general banter, sign up to corsasport.co.uk.

Awesome site, probably more active than here with not so much X vs Y threads or what car next shite.

Lol, I missed the "10"

I used to have a n/a 250bhp 2.1 16v corsa b a few yrs back, it was a rocket!

I attended a corsa - saxo thing at Brunters that redline mag organised and beat everyone lol.

With your 1.6 16v get a set of TB's on there as the std inlet set up is very restrictive.

My mate bought that. And its half the reason I decided to turbo my AX lol

didn't adam (ak) have similar car or is it the same one?

As for performance c20let is best value for money but some people swear by small block handling so its up to you what route to take.

AK had a different car. Their's a clip of my corsa on you tube somewhere.

My 2.1 handled just fine, leda ftw. ;)

leda don't exist anymore, apparently most of their staff work for gaz now

I prefer the handling on Novas compared to corsa Bs tbh, even though they're almost identical underneath

easier to get a good corsa b these days though and can do things to them that aren't as easy on novas, like fitting a f28 or whiteline rarb

yeh Id have a look on corsasport.co.uk its a half decent forum

No your right their fat. :L

They did 10-11 years ago when i had the Corsa though. :y:

The Nova is alot lighter but narrower so easier to get up onto 2 wheels with sticky tyres fitted.

:fcuk:

Ye it did, thats Banzai Bobby driving. :fcuk:

I think he's had it on its roof a few times since though... :zainy:

Looks great, going to be used as a track car or?

Don't get the hate between Saxo owners and Corsa owners tbh

Me neither.
