the prob now after u sed tht,i'm well aware of it, and the pressure really is on not to stall in front of people, but the more i worry about it, the more likely it is of happening!! :lol:

Nice, the facelifted interior looks far better than the pre facelift one.
Whats up with clutch?
1.4 - 105 bhp ;)

Go for a a port-polished big valve head. Kent cams and pulleys then a piggy back engine management.
K series engines are the nuts

looking nice mate! rims look beasty
much nicer than the corsa mate
Looks nice mate, thought it was you the other day when I saw it driving about :thumbs:
Not a fan of the ZR. Yeh sure the k series engine is brilliant, but when my ex-girlfirend had one I wasn't that impressed.
I think it looks pretty nice mate :)

As has been mentioned on this thread, removing the air box, is this what makes these sound really meaty?? A girl I used to work with had a 1.4 105 and that sounded mint, can the same trick be done with the 1.4 SRi Corsa or is there a difference in the engines which makes them sound better in the ZR?? Thanks evryone
Is a well tidy motor, am so jealous...
have been looking at either one of these or a golf for a while now....
What's the insurance like on it?
