My new car (Corsa VXR Arctic)
Well, thats me kept my nose clean for a year after my ban, so my 1.4 corsa SRi goes away tomorrow to a local lad and Ive bought myself a Corsa VXR Arctic.
Even though they mostly all look the same, I thought Id post up some pics! Dont get it until Thursday, but took some pics from the garage its sitting. Cannot wait to get it!
Its just turned 2 years old 2 weeks ago, only has 8500 miles on it. Was very happy with the car on the test drive i gave it, love the sound of that Remus!
Sorry about the rubbish pics, Ill get some more when ive got it home and gave it a once over

Thorney Motorsport do stages up to 250bhp, whilst still keeping my vauxhall warranty. Think the 1st stage is remap to 225bhp.

nice cars test drove one a couple years ago, word of warning they are prone to melt piston 4 if remapped anywhere over 220bhp this was found to be injector 4 not supplying enough fuel, easily sorted with a set of uprated injectors (maybe astra vxr) cant remember off top my head.

Its still under warranty till December anyway, more than enough time to save up for some forged pistons & steel rods!
Dunno why vauxhall didnt use forged pistons from the start, seems silly!

Ive never liked the look of a saff
It is pretty silly about the pistons though, but as said, its a very small percentage!
