This Is A Review About My Cousins Corsa B Gsi 1999
This is a review about my cousins Corsa B GSI 1999. I have drove this car around a couple of times from here to there and it is an absolutely fantastic drive and for me very fast. Im not sure if they are fast as standard as I havent drove one standard yet. It has been remapped pipercross induction kit.I think they throw out about 110bhp but this bad boy is 140bhp and very deadly. I only have the 1.2 corsa B and heavily modified but I love the GSi that much the engine is to be fitted into my car very soon. highly recommend to anyone looking for a fast little car.

please dont not talk nonsense @ alot faster
the gsi and sport both are 1.6 16v
my mate had a 95 gsi and it would not keep up with my 98 sport from a standing start maybe coz mine was a newer car?

The Vauxhall Corsa Gsi Is A Brilliant Little Car,
The Vauxhall Corsa GSi is a brilliant little car, all round far better and faster than the 1.6 Ecotec sport model which hasn't even got a body kit as standard. I think you would have to be mad to consider the Corsa Sport over the GSI. Thanks for reading this review and hope it has helped you.
I've got a GSI myself and lowered. Had a slight mishap today and went over a bump causing my exhaust 2 come out of it's clamp in the centre therefore my exhaust has slipped out of the connection to the cat. I've managed to put the exhaust back and quickly dashed to Halfords with the mangled clamp to get a replacement, tried to measure it as well as i could with the clamo I'd got but unfortunately came home 2 discover it does not fit! Anyone know what size exhaust clamp I need?
Thanks

I Sold My Corsa Sport And Got A Rare Non Ecotec Co
I sold my Corsa Sport and got a rare non Ecotec Corsa GSi. I have only ever seen two of these for sale. The engine is a 1.6 16v and is not an Ecotec and is .5 sec quicker to 60mph than the Ecotec version 0-60: 9.0sec standerd opposed to the ecotec and 1.6 16v sport 9.5sec. The cars been superchipped and has Kent Kams so 0-60 is around 8.6sec not bad considering those are the only mods. A good car and very rare, shame most don't have elec windows evan some of the late n reg models. Turns heads because it's a nice car and dont need any bigger bumpers. 15inch and slammed and it looks good or 17-18inch. Cheaper and better looking than the 1.6 sport
I found this review very helpful because...ihave a none ecotec gsi corsa and some of the prob that i have had have been on this site i have sorted alot of probs with wirering and engine its good two no that there is help out there plus just be come a member
I have had 2 Corsa GSi s both non ecotec the first one had big engine problems but it was quick - beat Saxos and Novas. My first Corsa used to tap a lot because it was burning oil basically I needed a new engine so I got rid of that and got another Corsa GSi standard 1 lady owner I've had no problems with it so far keeps up with GTIs and leave VTR Saxo for dust no one can fault the Corsa GSi.
Just bought a Corsa gsi 6 weeks ago for £850. Its grey little damage to paintwork interior perfect, elec windows but its got 115,00 runs perfect apart from misfiring a bit, just dun a full service on it plugs and leads, is this a common problem and how do I go about fixing it. And any tips on mods would help but have a fout for my pocket. Any help much appreciated.
Cheers lads. I have now had the oil and oil filter changed along with some new spark leads - the car drives completely different. The day before I had the work done I was on the motorway pushing over 70 and a huge pile of smoke came out of the exhaust and I mean a lot - it must have been oil. The car also held back as if it didn't have any power and didn't want to be pushed anymore. I thought the engine had had it's day but the oil change seemed to have done the trick. It's quieter, smoother and with no tapping noise from tappets - I still warm it up for 5 mins before driving anywhere though. The car is showing 101k on the clock now.
Alright matey - my first gsi Corsa used to be really tappy on start up for a good 5 mins but then was OK - probably because it had 140k on the clock as my new one only has 80k and that is as quiet as a mouse - it shouldn't cause you any trouble really - if you want a tip though don't be thrashing it too much until the engine has got to normal operating temperature as that is most likely what caused the problem in the first place. Plus it wears the valve stem seals which will in time make it drink oil and smoke its backside off. Take it easy and I hope this has helped you... Matbob.
