Almost all Corsas here are 1.2 SXIs. You're hard pressed to find one that's SRI, they're normally just 1.2 SXIs with angel eye lights and spoilers and other tacky shit.
I rarely see the SRIs around because they're 1.4/1.8? and too expensive for chavs to insure. :wacko:
Got a 40% refund from Amazon. They failed to properly pack my order and left out the green tea samples. Pretty sad.
A GSi or SRi...I'm not really sure, but it has the powerful 1.8l ecotec engine.Quote:

That's the one they normally shove into Corsas, although I've seen some with these engines too:
2.0 L 20XE I4 (petrol)
Probably have to pull the engine to change the timing belt :wacko:Quote:

I'm pretty sure that's the case with larger engines (2l Accent or whatever) shoved into the smaller Hyundai Excel cars that originally had 1.5's or something like that.
Can't put the larger engines into the Corsa here without a cert.Quote:

There's so many of them on Gumtree, seems to be popular among the chavs here.Quote:

Remove tacky lights at the back, bog standard set of steel wheels with period Vauxhall wheeltrims :wacko:
That's all? Shit, my car has 290,000kms on it (I think... somewhere around there), and it's only a 2003. :dread:Quote:

Also, according to my online banking statement, "if you make the minimum monthly payment, it will take you 20 years and 7 months to pay off the amount owing."
:lol
I've been the second or third owner on both of my cars. My last one ('97 Lumina) started costing too much in upkeep, so I sold it. It was sitting at around 270K. This one, I'm the second owner ('03 Impala LS), and it's still running like a dream. Bit of a gas guzzler though. :( I'm going to sell it sometime next year or the year after and get something smaller. Not entirely sure what yet.Quote:

I think cars get scrapped around 100,000 miles here. If not before. :-/
Didn't know you were in Japan bro :wacko:Quote:

4cyl's don't last long before needing a rebuild. 3's and 2's even less. And rotaries need rebuilding quite often.
