Good video and noticed its from July last year.. Have noticed that there is movement in the gear shift in 1st and 5th. Would recommend getting the gearbox refurbed if you haven't already had it done. When i got mine around the same time as you did it was showing movement in 1st and 5th, by Christmas it was whining in 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th. I just had mine refurbed a few weeks ago in Halifax at A&S Clutch Technology. Car is spot on now
JbCentral I did haha, Just thought I'd mention it - I've been in a stage 2 corsa before pushing around the 240 mark. Apart from a bit of torque steer, They pull pretty well through straights and corners - Would recommend a Remus or a non resonated milltek mate
well im looking around 240 and if i still want it ill get the engine forged , bigger turbo and that, for exhaust tho im getting a remus 3 piece with a double de cat so full exhaust costing about 1100, its a 2.5 inch so gonna miss a few bhp on a remap but will be worth it for the sound
joe williamson haven't driven one of those mate but they're n/a not turbo, vxr you can actually keep on tuning it and modifying it if that's what your going for, watch some videos and go on what you think is best but these are awesome , you wouldn't be disappointed
Hells Gift MB I got the the car at around 44,000 I think I've covered around 2k ish and no problems getting into gear only when I accelerate in 1st and 5th it moves about a inch or less but I've heard it's not problem otherwise I don't mind paying to get it rebuilt, but honestly there fine mate, great cars I love mine
JbCentral Cheers for the info, much appreciated. I'm considering getting one myself as they look like a lot of fun. Bit paranoid about reliability but then every car has its faults. I think if they're driven with care they should be absolutely fine, just don't want the gearbox to be such an issue that it will wear out even with careful driving. Doesn't sound like that's the case though.

George C well you just go by the car and performance really , some people might complain but you can't really have a super fast car doing 40mpg, I wish you could haha
This angle is perfect

Nice vid mate
Love corsa VXR's - You should definitely consider remapping this with a few supporting mods.

JbCentral thats the exhaust setup I have, sounds insane with the windows down VERY loud bangs
Mark Scott can't wait for it
Insurance?
Thinking about one of these as my second car would you recommend it over a 197 clio rs???

Nice car. What's the mileage and have you noticed any problems with the gearbox? I hear they are weak point

A corsa VXR good on fuel? Haha my mates lucky to get 25mpg half the time😂
i dont think its to bad if im honest mate
JbCentral tbh I wouldn't know for a petrol like but 25mpg sounds shit😂, I've got a diesel so MPG ain't out to worry about😂
George C well you just go by the car and performance really , some people might complain but you can't really have a super fast car doing 40mpg, I wish you could haha
JbCentral yeh that's true that like mate, I suppose the fun is worth the price of fuel as well eh haha and yeh only if mate😂
