Hello,

First of all i want to apologize for my lag of English....As Clarkson would say....I`m a dutchy

I`m Frank from the Netherlands.I`m 20 years old and live in the area around Rotterdam.My nickname M1400 comes from a verry rare badge i have M is from Mantzel and 1400 obviously for the 1.4 engine.

The most important of me introducing myself here obviously is my late 99 Ardenblue Opel Corsa 1.4 Sport .












Recently installed Magnesium Speedline`s








The goodies that are already on:


Exterior:

  • Clear headlights

  • Clear side repeaters

  • Debadged

  • Cheap ass antenna :thumbup:

  • Mattig mirrors that are waiting to be painted(kinda rare):




    Chassis:

  • Reinforcements welded in.

  • Powerflex PU bushes installed.

  • Engine mount filled with PU rubber.

  • Brake upgrade, Refurbishedcalibra turbo calipers with Ferodo DS2500 Pads and OMP lines and 284x24mm ventilated discs.

  • Apex Racing (AST)coilover. (height and harshness adjustable (don`t know the translation) )

    I also modded the engine a bit to get some more `Driving Fun`:



  • X14Xe 16v.

  • Mantzel powerbox.

  • Stock F13 gear box

  • K&N filter.

  • Open centre pipe.

  • Remus backbox.(orientating to import a Sportex backbox from the U.K.)

    Sportex are ok, they fit well.

    But there is a lot beter out there

    Scorpion
    Janspeed
    Magnex

    Any of the s/s ones are decent, a sportex is only mild steel.

    welcome.

    I had a sportex exhaust on my corsa, and it was alright, moved around alot on mine so if i went over a bump quickly it knocked and it seemed to rust a lot.

    Are you sure about that??

    I would rather stickmy d*ck in a blender then move to the netherlands if i would live in another country

    Al the crappy rules and taxes would drive you insane after a while

    And then i`m already happy for living here and not knowing better then it is......Belgium is even whorse You can`t even lower your car there legally
