Had spotted this low mileage Corsa Sport on eBay and couldn't help go back to look at it every so often.
Eventually rang about it, and got usual English salesman, but was able to strike a deal eventually.

Got it home on Friday, haven't got much done, but happy enough with it so far.

Have a set of 60mm springs coming, but not sure what wheels to fit, Softstars, Speedlines, or have a set of Raffinos in my dad's roof space which need refurbished.

Would like a GSi kit, but undecided as it's not a GSi!

Lowered on the Raffino's, done. Is that an aftermarket wood dash kit?

Actually when I think about it the speedlines would look better.

The Raffinos need a bit of work, no 2 are currently matching!

Wood dash is horrible, but an Irmscher dealer for accessory, wouldn't like to have been paying for it new!!

As much as I love raffino’s 17’s are a bit roller skatey unless properly low and they ur prob gna destroy the inner lips of the arch??

Speedlines or softstars prob handier

Bought a few 1.2 Corsa finance repos back in the day to sell on again, but never actually driven much at them, but my thinking was if they go the same way as Novas then it's better than money in the bank!
Know what you mean about the 17's, Nova is horrible to drive on them, which is why i never done anything with the set I have, but don't want to sell them either!

Most likely put them on to start with and see what happens. SRi 8valve would be my first choice in a Corsa B, but very hard to get a good one.

I love a nice Corsa Sport! Personally if it were me I'd go speedlines with 195/40, down 60mm with shortened shocks, induction kit, darkened headlights and a Steinmetz grille if you can find one!

If I get the right offer it will go, but quite happy to keep it for a while. Looking forward to seeing it with wheels and lowering, and a hell of a clean.

I realised I had a problem a long time ago, but have learnt just to live with it at this stage.
Running out of Novas to buy, so this is the next best thing!!

For the life of me I was trying to remember the grill I had, wasn't steinmetz but that reminded me it was Lexmaul

Along with a Peco powermaster single exit to unleash the 1.4 8v 55bhp fury :laughing:

Loved it though it was my first car

This is where the fully stamped service history is great, 34k, serviced every year, and all mileage, dates etc recorded. Just I have no idea whatsoever was carried out at each service! Real handy, although I was always for changing the belt and pump anyway, but knowing my luck it will be brand new when I take it off! Still rather have that than it breaking.
