1993 vauxhall corsa Turbo Diesel

[reeman237]

ive been hanging around here for a bit now and decided mite aswell post some pics of my car. its a 1993 corsa so ok not very retro but hey I like it.
cost me £480 back in november with 10months mot and couple months tax. 134,000 on the clock with full dealer service history and yer its got the isuzu td engine.
engine got the usual diesel mods that can be done ot these engines and I have to says its pretty nippy. cheapo coilover kit to get it sitting alot better although it could do with being lower on the rear. cavalier gsi brakes up front help it stop quicker.
roof rack alot of people may not like but takes it away from the usual chaved up corsa along with the checked roof I did the other weekend. so yer let me know what you think good or bad I like hearing peoples opinion.



oh yer also turbo back side exit exhaust with a cherry bomb just to quiten it down a tad

I actually like that! A cool corsa! Is that a first? lol

[reeman237]

cheers mate. i hope so, most corsa's are very over done but I'm just trying to keep it simple mainly because i don't have alot of money at the moment

[reanimation]

I nearly didn't look TBH, but that's pretty cool! All it needs is wheels now, possibly something vintage GM like rostyles?

[reeman237]

I do have a set of cavalier gsi wheels that need sorting was gonna go mirror polish or my mate works in a light fixtures factory and they do some pretty cool finishes using powdercoating on there stuff but I think those wheels maybe a step back into the norm but I'm still undecided

[reanimation]

not sure how well they'd work


Or obvious ATS classics, those would look awesome

bit sporty but oh yess!

I like the old 80's Manta steels too with triangles taken out of em.

[reeman237]

i could see the classics working well. i have to run 14's or bigger to clear my bigger brakes on the front

rostyles wud look sweet, had opel 5.5j, on the polo, wit rings

[reeman237]

those rostyles do look pretty sweet ill have to keep my eye out for some when i have the money

[spyke]
