Smokey the Corsa B

[Krazeedude]

Hey, my name is Alex, I'm based in Stevenage, currently working at Halfords and am doing A-levels (Maths, Further Maths and Product Design) at Nobel and Marriotts in Stevenage. I am a very active member of allcorsa.co.uk. I am good at maths and engineering type-things, which is why I'm currently applying for an apprenticeship with Astrium, looking to become a satellite engineer. Just got through the CV stage, I'm now going for the 'assessment day' on the 3rd of April. My passion is electronics, which I am geting fairly good at, as you will see, and before I get 50 comments of 'YOU'RE A CHAV', I just like lights. I have changed every interior bulb to blue, wired footwell lights, under car neons, grill lights, blue in the reverse lights and number plate bulb (as well as normal bulbs) boot popper, my stereo (2X JL 10", 2X Fli 6", 2 X FLI 5", 2X Kenwood KAC-5204, 1X Fli 450s amp) and other things.
I've got a girlfriend, Katie, we've been together for 2.5 years now, here's us going to a fancy dress party, but can you guess what characters we are, I'll give you a hint, the director's initials are Q.T.

Anyway, my car, a 1.2 8v Corsa:

I have also fitted some spotlights. My car now pushes 600watts of light from the front. It's daylight on country roads.

My insurance renewal was up on Wednesday, so the real modding began...

Gave it a nice wash

Then out of the shed came Apex shocks and springs (FK rear shocks), wheels and strut brace. Not as bigger pile as I was hoping, but I'm poor.
And now...

I've got a genuine Vauxhall badge to go on, and I'm loving the tread!

As some of you will have seen, I'm starting to look at engine mods. Cam, inlet, tb, injectors for now... Along with a decat, straight through and nice backbox.
Performance wise, I have a full set of 2 liter breaks from a Cav waiting to be fitted, and I'm after front strut and arm braces, cav rarb and corsa desil rarb, as well as a combo farb. I won't go fast in a straight line, but **** me I'm not slowing down for corners XD
The looks are pretty much done for now. I've got a replacement rear light for the cracked one, I would like Euro rear lights but they're expensive. I could add a GSI spoiler, but they're common and pointless. I've got a set of smoke grey GSI skirts in my loft, The paint's a bit damaged, so I might spray all the bumpers and arches Matt black, maybe anthracite, and go from there.

Plans for the distant future: X30XE, but that's a few years away.

And bought some new reverse lights, bluish on phone, but perfect white in person:

*Bits you'll be interested in* I've got two JL 10wx-4, and I've bought a third sub, a JL 10w0-4, and am looking at a complete overhaul of the amps, Unless I'm told otherwise, I am going for a 3 FLI FL900s, powering all four normal speakers, and either the 3 10s and a 15", or four 10"s. I'm leaning towards the 3 10s and a 15 for bass, but 4 10s might look better and ACTUALLY fit. I am keeping the standard parcel shelf, so from the outside the audio is secret.
