VAUXHALL CORSA 1.5TD

Full Service history and all work needed had been carried out at a garage.

144000 miles on the clock but this isnt an issue as anyone that knows about these isuzu engines will tell you they can go on forever if looked after.

since I've had the car i have replaced the water pump, the clutch and I've fitted cavalier gsi front brakes as the originals arnt up to much, also I've got a new cam belt to go but haven't been able to get round to fitting it.

now for the fun stuff,

its got a cone airfilter straight off the turbo meaning it spools up quicker aswell as making a nice whistle, its got a straight thru exhaust to a standard back box with a boso style exhaust tip, having no boxes early on in the system aids the spooling time of the turbo.

also there is a manual boost controller fitted allowing the boost to be upped but the best part is the diesel pump has been modded by myself allowing alot more fuel on boost result in it now running around 1.6bar instead of the standard 0.7 to allow this much boost the safety valve in the inlet manifold has been welded shut as it pops off around 1bar. The speed of it surprises alot of people and leaves alot of cars for dead the turbo chucks you back in your seat i'd say its proberly running around 100bhp which isn't bad

i recently fitted an intercooler from a z20let astra turbo which is currently plumbed in using radiator hose and bathroom pipe as a tempory measure as i couldnt afford proper hard pipes but its been this way for atleast 1000miles and has caused me no problems whatsoever.

The car is also fitted with fully adjustable coilover suspension which gives a firm ride to say the least which is something i kinda like but not to everyones taste.

The car turns head where ever i go, so if attention isnt your thing then it aint for you, I'm just being honest

it also has a very rare opel corsa gsi steering wheel which is the only one I've ever seen, its got a set of dixie horns aswell as a loud air horn.

as you can see from the pictures it has a checkered roof this one done by me and is of a reasonable standard.

it has bigger 14inch steel wheels fitted to fit over the bigger gsi brakes, these are painted white not black like shown in the pictures and are fitted with vw polo centre caps giving a smoother look.

its taxed until the end of feb and MOT until october i think

The interior is in really good condition for the age of the car

has sony door speakers all round

now for the not so good bits.

the car is 16years old so it has seen alot of action during its life so it doesnt have some battle scars, there is a small patch of rust on the bottom of the passenger door and on the quarter panel next to it and being a typical corsa it has rust on the b pillar around the same height of the quarter window but nearly all corsa's i have seen are showing signs in that area. There is a dent in the rear quarter panel where a numpty backed into me, I've got the worst of it out but it is still noticable. There is rust along the front edge of the bonnet which is also pretty common along with that the bonnet is slightly out of shape where i met another car in the street lol during the same incident the bumper got cracked but i fixed it jdm style with some cable tie stitching.

there is some spares that come with the car such as a spare headlight, rear light original steering wheel, original air box, original boost pipe, spare interior clock/computer, spare boot rubberand a rusty bonnet if thats your thing, theres proberly some other spare bits and bobs I've forgotten about.

I'm only selling it as a fancy a mk3 golf TD
