cheers man, take it your from glasgow as well then ?
and funny you should say, used to drive a corsa back in the day :D
 
Aye I am, what colour you getting?

U go into town, or crail, or knockhill, or hamilton? Lol or soon to be hondatech I guess?
 
gettin a white one, the best colour to have it in in my opinion. Used to go into town quite alot when i had the corsa but not so much anymore. Been to a few hot hatch days at knockhill and that in my mates scoob. Just chokin to get the motor though !! where bouts you from in glasgow if you don`t mind me askin ?
 
Im actually from paisley m8, but just in glasgow most of the time!!

Is it facelift or pre-facelift?
 
ah sound, aye used to sit up at glenifer braize quite a bit.

Not got an exact one yet to be honest think i prefer the pre though, think the front bumper and grill looks a bit nicer but each to thier own.

It`s just finding a mint one to be honest would take a pre or a facelift model not to fussed as long as its mint.

It looks like yorkshire and similar places down south are the places to go.
 
Aye i was the same and its the best way to have it. I went to see 5 before I bought mine and im so happy i did coz when I look at mine compared to the first few I saw there was no comparison, it is mint!! If i say so maself!! lol

I dont get over the speed bumps at the braes now :( but very much worth it

How old r u btw?
 
Yeah my corsa was the same after i slammed it with the kit and that on it.
Got up the top bit then got stuck tryin to get back down lol

If thats yours as your pic its well smart !! much is it dropped by ?

and i`m 21
 
Yeah m8 thats mine in the pic!!

So when u hoping to get it, jus sometime february?
 
And 60mm at the front and 50mm at the rear!! Going for the jap street racer look :)
 
Yeah its sittin nice !! Aye feb at some point hopefully as i said just waitin for the right one. Don`t wanna go a drive for hours and hours to see ones that are kinda ok, buy one then a week later a minter turns up lol wi my luck that would happen !!
But yeah this month hopefully anywayz, fingers crossed.

Whats next for yours you doin much else to it ?
 
Its going in for a full respray coz it'll make her look pretty basically!! lol

Then just got new front and rear upper and lower tein struts, and carbon cover for engine. Then rocker cover is being sprayed and the engine colour coded to match wires, radiator hoses etc. Got New headlights coming as well because the others were looking a wee bit tired and im getting and HID conversion as well. Thats this month.

Then full valvetrain upgrade and stage 3 cams next month as well as new ecu and remap etc. Then maybe carbon bonnet, boot hatch and new rims in bronze, black, or green depending. So aye alot to do over the next few months, had to get a 2nd job lol. Plus im only just 20 and my insurance is due soon :( last year was fortunes lol
 
Bloody hell is that all ? lol

And thats a bugger thats basicly the bodywork plan i have/had lol

carbon bonnet, spoiler and hatch slammed on dark wheels rotas or buddys or somethin like that.:clap:

Ah well i`ll race you see who gets it done 1st lol kidden. Why you gettin a respray is the bodywork lookin tired or are you just picky lol
 
Im just picky!! Lol the front splitter needed done becoz i was stupid enuf to forget I was in a slammed 9 and tried to get into buchannan galleries and got stuck and then tore the thing to shreds getting out so it needed resprayed, then I wanted it all to match and had a few marks on the bumper from grit etc so just getting it all done!! My pal owns a race team so get the best bodyshops for cheaper than usual!! :)

Haha I dnt knw if I will get all of that done yet dude, just see how things go coz ive bought a crx del sol b16a for summer (convertible :) ) so will need to see what i do with that. Fancy an H22 turbo conversion but thats a mission lol

I have just re-read my last two posts and come to the conclusion I spend way too much money on this ****, want to buy an ek9 £7000? Lol ko.
 
hahaha aye just thought you were a brain surgeon and earned bout 4000 a month or somethin lol.
Aye not sure what i`ll do 1st (part from buyin the car obviously:D)
well your gonna be a busy guy by the sounds of it anywayz between that and a delsol. No wonder you`ve got 2 jobz lol
 
Haha I know, might just leave the del sol I duno.

I had big plans when I got mine (last july) I dont know what you drive now but between buying the car, the petrol, road tax, MOT, insurance etc it takes a while to get the ball rolling on mods, but get there eventually!!

How much you gonna be spending you reckon? Have you spoken to duncan at fastjapcars?
 
yeah know what your sayin wi cash and that :mad: its a pain in the arse.... worth it though lol. No not spoke to duncan yet limited in where i can buy from too cause i have a trade in and some companies will not take it. Its a vw polo 1.9 turbo diesel, i bought it cause i was workin a good drive away from home and fuel was a killer. Sayin that i got it chipped and fuel ain`t much better lol ah well. Now i don`t have the journey anymore hence choking to get my civic !!
