    yeah the Corsa C 1.8 Gsi is actually just a rebored 1.6 Gsi Engine, but the power increase was barely noticable. coupled with allmost 300KG more weight, and you can see why its not that nippy. BUt yeah it's a very comfy car.

    Yup, I was a bit miffed about that.

    Even my mom's old 1.6 GSE seems to sit more comfortably at top end speeds. Now THAT is an amazing engine. Done over 300,000km and it's still running 100s. Ofcourse, you need to replace rings every 5kms after you buy an opel

    EDIT: ye, my old one was 75kW, the new one 79kW. Plus with the added weight, it's rather sluggish compared to just about every other hatch. But I'm not a fan of speed so it's fine. Just wish the consumption for town driving wasn't so harsh.

    Autostyle have momo seats from time to time, and while some may question their authenticity, checking the model and part names on the seats once revealed that they are indeed the real thing.

    They usually sell for around R2000 a pair.

    Look each to his own, and sometimes cheaper seats are very comfy etc etc, but cheaper seats are just that, cheap, and they look the part, wich is cheap.

    Man if you buy the seats pull on in one day when me and Pyro and the lot are lanning and we will isntall them for you quick quick.
    Thanks man nice of you, Will do that if i can conjure up R5k haha!

    Dude you can buy a set of StS racing bucket seats for around R4000.
    Probably the best seats I have ever owned.Sold them not to long ago to a guy on the dtm forum.
    I agree with maplassie byuing cheap would be a stupid idea.
