Yes but you were using 1.2 16v ones and you drive like a cunt ;)

My driveshaft broke with my 1600.

What year? Dont forget, GSi's are getting pretty old now.

If it was a 1.6 16v sport, then pass, he just must drive it like a cunt :lol:

and i think he's running 16's

guy i spoke to last night broke one of his a few weeks backand his car is sweet digi dash the lot

Nahh, Corsas had to have ones specially made up. I remember when the conversions started to be done :lol: Even C3RSA popped a driveshaft and CV joint, + many others.

THat wont happen now as specially made parts for the conversion are available. Think they are rated up to 300bhp.

1600's I should imagine are fine.

was thinking coz
2ltr corsa's i heard loads of stories and novas' eating there cv's and driveshafts

but none of 1600's

CV joints and driveshafts should be fine.

They only start breaking when u put 18"+ wheels on the cars (like Grigglett and Brad had).

Anyone pushing 17"s is playing a game, especially on the older Corsa B models. If you win, the wheels stay on, if you loose, they come off, and u find a ditch :(

i have just checked the spec it doesnt mention any uprated or modyfied driveshafts

i doubt theres anything left on his that isnt uprated
just a thought that struck me

need to askk andy H

as i doubt theres a more tuned x16xe than his, so he will know of any probs

breaking driveshafts?
or cv joints coz of the extra power?
