just a quick message to say hello to everyone there are some nice corsa's on ere. is there anyone from round yorkshire (castleford). hope to see some of you at york drag strip if so. just got a 2ltr 16v corsa. have an old astra gte before but it just fell to bits so i thought i would get something a bit newer but still with same engine. i have bought one because my bro has just bought a valver nova and it has run a 14.8 so astra is in bits and now have the corsa. would anybody be able to tell me wat standard corsa's run 1/4 mile in thanks

Welcome.
Corsas are slower than Novas unfortunately, they're a bit heavier! Nothing a bit of a diet, LSD and proper tyres won't sort.

Yes he spoke about them but he just asked in last sentence what a standard corsa runs. Maybe its just the way Im reading it tho but ti was in a seperate sentence than the rest

karen has a point.
but considering he wasn't specific on which corsa, i used my initiative and guessed he wanted to know what a standard XE corsa would do.

when my xe was standard with full interior sounds and some kit my mate ran a 15 sec dead at santa pod. I managed a 15.1 and reckon i could of edged into the high 14's if i persisted

Depends on offset and tyres size, I wouldn't though if you want a good quarter.

IF you're fitting 17's, i'd debolt the arches and maybe do a little trimming.
but ditto with what ian says, you're planning on doing 1/4 runs so why you want 17's?

unless it's 17's for everyday use, and just a pair of 14's or 15's for strip action. i could see the point in that, although it's not something i'd be bothered with.

unless it was a car which has hooj bodykits etc. then i 'spose that big wheels will be needed to balance it out.

16s are the best for everyday use, with 195/45s they fill the arches nicely.
