Had eibach springs on mine, it was fairly decent.

Sold mine now, got bored of the noise and realised that was the only decent thing about it :lol:

I'm thinking of getting a bilstein full suspension set up but I've heard eibach are very good

I would highly recommend Eibach Pro 30mm speings for a nice subtle comfortable drop if you do decide to lower it :thumbs:

Vegas Phil - thanks , I must admit I was a bit sceptical about the name , but all the cars in the showroom (unit) are of a really high standard and 99% of them are top spec models. Good garage

Andycorsasport - way ahead of you :lol: insignia washer jets are on and led sidelights and number plate lights :thumbs:

Ben J - some of the prices on the cars are high, I got him down from the asking price :D

Mark W - it is , one owner from new everything is standard on it no mods at all

Thanks Kenny I am tempted to mod it I'm not going to lie

Shep - I bet that sounds the nuts , not cheap a turbo back system !

Gav :lol: didn't take you long did it ha ha

Kev , you're right he does. Mike price is his name brilliant bloke

Thanks anth

I was gonna do a zlet conversion but I wanted to grow up a little lol

Lovely motor. As said, Rev it up always seem to have some lovely cars in stock.

One thing I would do is remove the led sidelight bulbs as they look completely out of place against the halogen headlight bulbs.

Looks awesome that VXR mate, I was tempted by one of these last year, great cars. My mate round the corner had that z20let engine in his corsa c, very quick little thing.

I know I said I prefer them standard but when you hear a modified one drive past you they do sound the bollocks :lol:

Nice example.

Recently bought one myself, has a 3" scorpion from turbo back, front mount and a stage1 map, sounds lovely, :D

Revitup seem to shift a lot of stock. Seem to have a good rep too, but their prices are fucking crazy. Hope you didn't pay full asking?

Very nice. Keyless too :thumbs:

Get some led number plate bulbs. And insignia mist washer jets. They are loads better.

Nice car!

What were that rev it up place like? I've seen a few cars advertised by them in the past, but have always been put off by the company name :lol:

After 3 years of ownership I decided to part company with my Corsa c , brilliant car never let me down and didn't cost me much to run/maintain
Anyway it hit 100k miles and I fancied something a bit bigger and a bit quicker than a 1.2

Pictures of the Corsa c incase you didn't know








And here's the replacement went all the way to Wales for it but when I saw it I knew it was the one , had to be black but finding a good example in black is difficult believe me I looked at a lot of them !

35,000 miles FSH , 1 owner from new and totally standard

Here it is

Pics off the website













When I picked it up it rained how typical :/


First thing first it didn't have any floor mats
VXR ones (genuine ones) were £154 !!!!
Astra ones were £26 so it was a no brainier

















Few shots from when I cleaned it





50/50 on the bonnet













Changed the airbox intake pipe to a bigger one

Comparison



Engine bay pics before and after a clean
