Ok before I get slated, I did have a corsa at one point  Fitted a 2L 8v in it and ended up selling it due to constant problems 
Dad bought this over a year ago as a runaround while he sold his old car and i ended up with it. Plan was to sell it and buy another Honda but insurance was really cheap on this and needed something ok on fuel for travelling back and forward to uni.
Some of the pics are taken by me, and the more recent from my mate Parker who is pretty good with the old pedo cam 
Might aswell start from the beginning eh...
Take one digusting micra: eh sorry toyota starlet
Add the wheels you had lying in your room and remove bump strips
Tidy up a bit with clear indicators and side reps. Get stainless exhaust fitted, make a grille and lower a bit
Rake the scrappies and add a splitter to front and lower some more. Fit turbo seats
Rape my car of interior
Buy some proper suspension!
Dump the coilovers to looow, new number plates, wind deflectors, raid the scrappies for a splitter for back and get parker to take some good pictures!!!!
Stiffer than the guy nailing Eva Longoria 
Okk enough pics  I tried to keep to minimum but when Parker insists on taking 60 pics it hard to resist
Next on the to-do list:
Paint!
New back lights
Rollcage
I'm still not sure on rear splitter, whats folks opinions??
All comments welcome even if you think its sh1te

Thanks mate.
Its a sportif. Same engine as SR but lower spec, i.e no electric windows, alloys as standard, 15mm lower suspension on SR.

handles sh1t hot on the new suspension. handled pretty good before aswell tbh, better than my corsa did anyway
Eh yeah very nippy for 1.3, stay with a saxo vtr/1.4 corsa sport with ease till about 90 - 100 then i run out of steam

the jap version of the n/a is around 100 bhp they have a different inlet mannifold on and they have yellow injectors that come off the corollas and they also run on 105 ron fuel which is pretty much race fuel

I have the jap inlet manifold on mine. Makes a reasonable difference, revs out better. Jap ones have a different ecu aswell.
Yeah like all torque says, they weigh fuck all rob. 800 something kgs IIRC
