Hi Guys and Girls!

Here's a pic of my Opel (Vauxhall) Corsa GSi from South Africa!

it's a 1.6 litre, multi-point fuel injected, 8 valve motor making 75kW (100bhp).

Some exterior mods include the front spoiler, eyelids, M3 style mirrors, color coded side-skirts, 17" TSW Razor Wheels, and tinted windows. At the back are some lexus type tail-lights and a nice and shiny F1X Rear-silencer and tailpipe.

Engine-mods are simple with a cone filter with induction port in the bumper, branches and a 57mm freeflow.

if you guys want to see more of what us South African's are up to...head over to: http://forum.opelownersclubwc.co.za/

I'll see you there!

hehe bad idea dropping a car too much on south african roads mate. We're not 4x4 country for nothing! lol part of the reason why I'm sticking with the STD GSi suspension (which is actually 20mm lower than std corsa suspension) is that it makes my car much more practical as well.

They did'nt make a 1.8 GSi, only a 1.8 GSi Corsa C.

I would like to see a picture of his engine and his alternator bracket that he is running.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the cool comments about the car! I heard some of you saying that we have some 1.8 litre corsa B's over here...well, we dont actually hehe...this was the highest in the range...the 1.6 8 valve GSi. The only 1.8 Corsa over here is the Corsa C and that's 8 valve as well!!

Although, there are a couple of guys here running 2 litre motors in their Corsas hehe....

oh, here is the pic of my engine bay that I heard someone wanted to see: (p.s This pic was taken before the first pic in this topic so the custom grille wont show in the below pic)
