Lol, im tempted to get a set of weiteks or whatever theyre called. Dont want something un-usable though, the GT springs could do with being a little bit harder.
Is it me or is the power curve when you floor it really lumpy, seems to be lots of peaks and troughs throughout the rev range. Meh. 3000 miles and its going up to leeds for a remap.

No i mean when its warm obviously, im not going to rag my car if the engine is cold.
Problems so far ive got -
Crunches into 3rd when changing from 2nd gear.
Changing from 1st to 2nd is very jumpy as im a s**t driver and dont know how to chage gear...
One of the rear brakes if obviously binding as it makes a loud squeaking/rubbing noise when accelerating from stationary.
24mpg lol
Couldnt get it to go into reverse last night without RAMMING it in, although that seems to have sorted itself out overnight it was fine this morning.

If the Mk3 is anything like the Mk2, you can't just fire it right into reverse. Something about synchromesh...I'm not that technical but that rings a bell. Maybe someone else could confirm.
So out of that list of five, I'm saying at least 3 are down to the driver.

Yeah it looks better then the blue a nice girl was drivin it.As 4 the back brakes stickin on i had that with my 100hp panda and guess what fiat said ITS A NORMAL NOISE THERE IS NOTHIN WRONG WITH THE BRAKES the things they say to get out of doin some work
Toby have u tryed resettin the MPG computar? My car was hard 2 get into 3rd gear but now its done 780miles it slips in alright nowYou do know what the pedal on the left is for don't you
Joking aside I'd be taking your car back to the garage and demanding they replace it with a working one.
There are statutory rights that goods sold must be fit for purpose and your car clearly isn't !

I would still take it back cos it aint right.Things will only get worse

He shouldnt be raggin it about all the time my mate has a white 197 and has fucked the gear box cos as soon as he starts that car he boots about
I dont rag mine all the time, i always and have ALWAYS let the car warm up fully, and not just to when the temp guage tells me its warm either.

You bought a car, you've clearly ragged it to get just 22mpg, either that or its fucked!
Just because your having a problem with your car, doesn't make every owner a moron does it. Theres a lot of people on here who have had problems with ther 1*2 or 197. Does that make this a forum full of morons? I dont think so. Or this forum wouldn't exist.
Actually, scratch that. There's a Corsa forum.

See mate u just have 2 reset it and its alright. U need to stop raggin your car all the time cos that when problems start.UIve had mates buy new cars and rag the s**t out there cars and then there moanin cos there cars are fucked now
Damm i must be getting old, is it the done thing these days, i do try and look hip and what you young people might call "with it" these days :evil:
HAHA! I was hoping that playing loud music might make me hip and with it and down with the cruizers
oh to be young an stupid
If i remember correctly, its the done thing these days. Do they then go up to the nearest dual carrage way and have a race up to 98mph to prove that the K&N induction kit makes 6 bhp difference?
Ive decided that mines going on sportlines, i rekon 3cm will sit it just right although it could do with 40, some spacers, although im not sure what width, 20mm MIGHT be a little too much and 10 might be too little, a remap and having the limiter bumped up to 7000rpm and some 17" Turinis in Anthracite.

Spacers aren't totally safe IMO - get a wheel with a decent offset IMO.
PS 1.6 FTFW - I get to rag the t*ts of mine all day, yet I'm nowhere near license losing territory.

Agree 100%. I had some spacers on the 197, and they suck big time. Made the car very twitchy/nervous, especially under braking. Couldnt wait to get them off, lasted about 2 days lol. w**k tbh
