it appears this is like most other forums then, nobody willing to respect other cars but the ones the site is aimed at then, yes its a corsa but everyone has to start somwere, and for a corsa it is a pretty good example, Edited by tom130691 on 26th Apr, 2012. |

Relax chap. It's just a bit of joshing. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I think it's OK. The wheels are maybe a touch on the big side, but generally it looks like you've done a good job of it. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

I prefer the Astra sport rims too. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Not my cup of tea, but then no corsa is. I get sick of seeing the bloody things around by me, but at least you've put some sort of effort into it rather than just bolting shit to it and covering it with shopping lists, so well done on that front! On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Maybe after you have been a member some time you may get more interest. But to come on here and straight away post pictures of your Corsa after 3 posts, I think in actual fact we've been pretty relaxed.

If you sorted out the paint abit more and wheels i think it would look awsome, personally i like corsa b's i wouldnt mind a redtop one with astra gte wheels. A guy i know has a 400hp white corsa b its a merit iirc with black speedline wheels lovely example Drives

Does look a tidy corsa by the photos, I've seen a few with the 1.7 isuzi turbo diesel engine in.. Standard engine and intercooler from an astra, the things are very quick for the price you pay it you play with the furling and wastegate, it has been said they can make 160bhp+ on standard components so more power then a standard redtop and bags more torque Jack Jones |

We had a Corsa B as a sort of spare car anyone in the family could use when we needed a car to leave in a dodgy area or in a pub car park for a week etc. Never serviced or washed, always abused and to be fair it never went wrong. However, it is quite genuinely the worst car I have ever driven. It had the 1.4 'Hi-torq' engine, I prefer to think of it as the 'low-power'. I found myself thrashing it just to keep moving and I managed to get 14mpg from a tank once. The handling was pure comedy, it would bounce and slide it's way round corners, I once lost the back end going round a roundabout at the same speed as a LWB Sprinter which seemed to be having no problem at all. I really can't understand why such a terrible car is so popular with a certain social subset, but there we go, each to their own. Once they are all crashed or scrapped I won't care because I will remember how terrible they were, so on that basis I am quite pleased that it is Corsa Bs getting this sort of treatment as if it was S1-4 Lotus Elans for example, I would be truly upset.
