Just been on Corsa C UK, as I herd off a mate pretty much everything they do to there cars is bodged to fuck.

I think hes right, look at the speakers behind the seats and how they were fitted lol.

WTF did you expect corsa c = corsa chav

 

yeah definately, im sure you arent just blindly stereotyping at all, there isnt a single good example of a corsa c out there, they are all chav shite like this one Mtech are doing at the moment for a customer:





Chav rubbish with its tacky 400bhp rwd supercharged engine revving to only 10 grand and its nasty ligthweight bodyshell made of carbon panels.

utter rubbish, id sooner walk

 

I have a Corsa C

 

fuck that, i own a corsa C and im not a chav

just made me laugh on quite a lot of threads it seems to have that sort of stuff on

 

chip - fucking hell i havn't seen that on corsa C
is that on vaux sport? thats guna be a quick car

 

To be fair to the lad in question on that linked thread in the first post, he's got a couple of 6"*9" speakers in his car, its not really crime of the century.

He seems to have put some effort into doing it, and made a reasonable job for a first attempt on limited budget, he invovled his dad and mrs etc, surely thats a relatively positive thing to be doing together?
Hardly as chav as most of his generation out having fights in the highstreet instead

 

I have posted about it on VauxSport yes, but I dont have anymore info than I have put here, Im hoping to do a feature on it at some point for Total Vauxhall magazine though

 

i see your point, to be fair its one of the better ones there is some nasty shit on there the box made me laugh i must admit lol.

 

if it gets in total vauxhall then il buy it looks a very nice car tbh, certainly not chav AT ALL. but then again, all corsa C's are chav loll

 

Well all he plans on doing is ragging it around in circles sliding it about at some place called lydden hill, which I guess is where there is a mcdonalds carpark or something, so I think he is a chav really.

 

not ym taste really, but fair play to the lad, lot of work gone into this..

http://www.corsa-c.co.uk/forum/showt...______________

 

Whats actually particuarly wrong with the box? its out of the way, its not going to hit him in the back of the head if he has an accident, its not massively heavy.
Ok its not what I would do, but it really isnt *that* bad IMHO

 

Again I dont personally like it, but can still appreciate the effort and skill that has gone into it.

 

just think it could of been done a bit better thats all,

 

I have a Corsa C. I'm not a chav!

The site is very very gay though, I try not to use it other than for any decent parts for sale. They put ftw or ftl after everything they say, and everything is always 'EPIC'

 

Its probably his first ever attempt at anything like that to be fair.

 

another exmaple

http://www.corsa-c.co.uk/forum/showt...973-my-corsa-c

 

Bar the horrendous front bumper and sill exhausts, it woulda been not bad!

 

I described that corsa c I have just posted on here as "epic" when I posted it on vauxsport

 

Bar the horrendous front bumper and silly exhausts, it woulda been not bad!

 

In your case only, I would agree that it is epic, as epic is something that vastly surpasses the norm, and I would say the Corsa you posted ticks that box!

 

I hate it, but if i was a 19 year old lad trying to sleep with lots of 16 year old girls I bet that would help me

 

At least the other members of the site are telling him he's a numpty and it looks tat. lol

 

A boy near me, also on Corsa-c built this:

http://www.corsa-c.co.uk/forum/showt......&highlight=

Goes on about it as if it was amazing. If anyone says anything on the site he's like "yeah but it's not as good as mine, I had 2 mag features"

 

I think the corsa C being more modern lends itself to the young lads who are into bodykits, but even that one still isnt too bad TBH.

They are actually cracking handling little cars with only a few changes, and I think that in a few years there will be some pretty serious ones doing trackdays, the astra vxr is a breeze to fit into them too, which is the route I might go down with mine (ive got a corsa c daily) at some point.

 

I've made a start towards ZLETing mine Chip. Got a 1.8 rear beam, 308mm front brakes and just ordering Koni coilovers. Once I've got the coilovers it's all set to buy the mounts and bits n pieces.

A ZLET looks fun:

which engine is yours?

If its a 1.0 or a 1.2 then the ECU should be able to stay when you fit a Z20LET or Z20LEH, as they are the same ecu, so if you get an aftermarket VXR/LET map put onto it then it will still work with the immobiliser and be tied into your car etc.
Mine is a 1.2, so thats what I am intending to do.

 

the red one above looks mint, arches suit it a treat

 

Was quite funny because on the way up to Mtec (I went there to use the rollers to map my corsa b) I was chatting to the mrs about what I would really like to do with my corsa c and putting a JWRC set of arches on it to allow wider track etc, and then when we got there she was like "oh like that one", im sure she now must think they are common cause it was only 10 minutes after I was talking about doing it that she saw one

 

Just having a joke chip I think were all guilty of buying 6x9 speaker's at some point

That mtec car is a weapon has the wireing loom being delivered yet

 

Mines a Z14XE. You can still keep my original ECU, it's just a wee bit more work, all the pins on the ecu have to be moved around. There is someone on corsa-c who does the conversions and he gives out the wiring diagrams for free, in fact it's his corsa on the video above!

My cousin works for Kerr & Smith and said he'll bring Tech 2 over to put the astra gsi map on it, then if I get more add ons he can put the Thorney maps on for me.

The hardest bit is supposed to be the wiring!

 

Ive learnt something there then mate, as I didnt realise you could alter the Z14XE ecu so simply

Someone will probably start to make a crossover lead at some point then if its just a case of altering pinouts, it would be plug and play then!

 

I'll try and find a few threads that Gary has done the zlet on. He sat and worked out where the pins were and where they needed to go and sketched it down roughly. I'm sure he has tidied his diagrams up but the outcome is the same. The 1.4 and 1.8 ecu's are the same wiring, which are the ones that need to be changed

 

Heres his conversion guide, 2 years old now and some of the pics arent there anymore, but it gives you the rough outline. He does say 2 years ago that you cannot use a 1.4 or 1.8 ecu, he has found out how to do it now though!

http://www.corsa-c.co.uk/forum/showt...de*&highlight=

Heres his rough pics for using the 1.4/1.8 loom, obviously they make sense to him, i dont have a clue




This is probably his most detailed conversion, done for his mate:

http://www.corsa-c.co.uk/forum/showt...ion-*part-2*-P

He also did a 1.2 to ZLET in 3 days for himself!!

 

TBH, 3 days doesnt sound particuarly difficult, its all just bolt in once you have the mount kit etc, like my XE corsa is, and you can do one of them in a day!

 

i sore one other week driving on 4 pink space savers if i could find me lead for me n96 16 gb id up load it ,had a chav cap on too

 

well talking of corsa's, iv just fixed both my front seats in my corsa C

 

Go easy on the lad... we all had to start somewhere. I remember seeing some pretty shonky old fords back in the day that were no better than his.

Personally I never had anything as shonky as that, but hey, whatever floats your boat


Oh yeah, I drive a corsa C... 1.0 3 cylinders of pure power.. but at 500 miles to a tank of cheap petrol its worth its weight in gold

 

fish99, if you crash it let me know and i'll buy the steering column out of it off you if you dont know what they are worth
