hi every1
been on here a few times now and i think its time to introduce myself.
my name is jonny and im 19 and from Rochdale. I drive a dark blue 1994 corsa 5 door which over the last 2 years has had a lot of work done to it.
I started off with the usual boy racer mods but then decided to make a sleeper instead. The pathetic 1.2 8v was replaced with a c16xe which blew up. same with the 2nd and 3rd engine. At the moment i am in the process of building the 4th, which, if all goes to plan should be around the 180bhp mark
I would upload a few pics of her but dont have the slightest idea how. im hoping that someone will take me under their wing and help me 2 become a regular user of corsasport.
thanks
jonny

at the moments its a standard c16 with a powerflow straight through from the cat-back and an induction kit.
Had a guesstimate with the last engine of about 115-120bhp but i have a lot of plans atm.

to be honest om not keen on any of the mods bodywork wise...
rear lights, eyebrows, mirrors, bright coloured brakes, alloy wheels, etc arnt to my taste
the general apperance of the car is tatty as there are gaps everywhere in the bumpers
i think you need to spend a bit of time tidying things up. remember less is more and some of the standard parts look better anyway
a lowered corsa on some nice wheels can look spot on without spending a lot!
all in my opinion
