Heck yeah. It's always fun doing little modifications to make your ride faster. Those small cars are always so much fun to drive. ^^

oh yeah, can find the limit of grip in it now XD

Nice, now you need some wider tires for more grip. The lowering will help too, that's what I'm doing next.

I think the best thing to do is keep the exterior stock so that its a proper sleeper :D

im trying to, if i did a turbo conversion (yes you can do a 3cyl turbo) id get a black intercooler X3

Nice, I should be getting a Clio 1.2 soon which i'll have a tinker with :P

petrol or diesel?

Nice car you've got here. I had a 2001 Corsa C a few years ago. It was the 5 door version, 1.2 16valve Ecotec. Good cars indeed, and mine never let me down. The engines like regular oil changes to save from the timing chain becoming noisy. hehe Sounds like you've done some real nice mods there too!

yeh mines sadly already become noisy, previous owner didnt do oil changes at all XD but eh i may have the chain n sprokets replaced soon n it might make it quieter, could also be the hydraulic lifters in um but i dunno, depends on price if i get them re-done too

Ah, thats a real shame that its already a little noisy there. Ouch about the lack of oil changes...certainly not too good! XD There is a repair kit available for the timing chain assembly, which I'm sure consists of a chain, tensioner, guides and sprockets. I've heard that the fitting of this kit cures the rattling chain problem. But as for the hydraulic lifters, my Corsa had one which tapped a little from cold, and all I did was put Wynn's engine flush into the oil, gave it a good run on the motorway for 15 minutes to get it hot, drained the oil, replaced and changed the oil filter. It was no more problem after that. hehe I guess it depends upon how bad your lifters are, but its a cheaper option then replacing them, if they aren't too bad. :D I hope you can get it sorted soon, and it gives you many miles of trouble free driving.

Does the rattling chain turn into a more serious problem?
I've got a clicky clicky 1.2 Corsa Design.

From what I have heard about this issue, usually when the chain starts rattling, its showing all the warning signs of excessive wear and may need replacement. As for how long it will continue to be alright is hard to say, as it depends upon the loudness of the noise. I would say that if the clicking noise is pretty quiet at the moment, an oil flush with an oil and filter replacement may help the issue a little and monitor it from there. But if it is quite noisy, then I would recommend looking at getting it changed as soon as you can. I've heard that when it is excessively loud, it can result in wear to the casing, with eventual failure of the chain, in the worst circumstances, which results in bent valves, etc. Personally, I would be keen on getting it changed if its making a noise, as a peace of mind, but it really needs to be judged by the actual level of the noise it is making. Apparently, on some certain Vauxhalls, within a specific chassis range, there is a known issue for the timing chain, where it is not too good a quality, and if your car falls in the chassis range affected, then there is a recall action available for its replacement. Thats what I have heard within the motor industry, but its certainly worth checking with your local Vauxhall dealer to see if yours is affected by this recall or not. I know there is a replacement timing chain kit available to cure the problem, in either situation. But, personally, if it was my car, I would be happier changing it, knowing its likely to be a possible issue later on in the cars life. More preventative maintenance then anything else really, I would say. hehe I hope this helps some, and please feel free to ask anytime, as I'll try and be of assistance in any way I can. :)

It's a petrol 8 valve, soz for the late reply :P

If you want to bring it to me, I can give it one of my Fara work-overs.
Lose 100kg, but in such a way that you wont notice. Aside from better cornering, handling, braking, accelerating, and fuel consumption.

thats a nice little car you got there

Very good car!! :D

Get some mad camber on it bro. Dump it on its ass and have the wheels do the spilts....nope i couldn't type that with a straight face. X3 Seriously though nice sleeper. :3
