Corsa VXR and Pug 106 Rallye

[leeds_182]

My mate has recently got his car back from Thorney after it blew up about three months ago.

Its still not 100% sorted but getting there!

Anyways, we went to my usual spot and took a few piccies;

Sorry they are a bit dark.

Yeah, Thorney sorted it all out but still a few things that need sorting.

rallye all the way, no matter how hard vauxhall try its still a corsa... which have horrid handling, can't belive I even considered one...the test drive soon changed my mind! Only think I like in the corsa VXR's are the front seats

I would love a project 106 rallye though! ....

thats alright then, what power is it running?

 

[leeds_182]

Still running in but should be back up to 240bhp when finished.

 

[lbrench]

was this not the one running like 300bhp or something similar?

No, I think 240bhp is the maximum they can put through the 1.6.

 

[SteveS Cup]

Not a fan of the VXR Corsa's... but the Front seats would go nicely in my 172!

I bet the Rallye is a laugh... I had a S1 XSI for my first car, made my 2nd car (Ibiza Cupra) feel awful in the corners!!

 

[Gally]

De-badging is shocking looking on the vxr.

 

[Pearce]

that rallye would be nice if it was original

 

[.GAZ.]

Hate them both lol, sorry man!

I loved my VXR, though I had a dark silver one. I'm not saying it handles better than my Clio, but is a more comfortable daily drive which is what I used it for.

240bhp isn't the most they can put through the 1.6t. my friend has one of the regal tuned RSS300+ VXR's which is running about 330bhp. It is epically fast when he can get the power down and it has all been done properly with Vectra VXR brakes, race coilovers and LSD.

Got to love the old school rallye

How can you hate the rallye!

Don't like the Corsa VXR, the owner should have gone for the upgraded wheels. The painted rear diffuser and de-badging also look poor imo.

I do like the Corsa VXR's but that second picture just demonstrates how they are too tall and too narrow, not giving it a sports car stance. However the owner obviously likes it and that's what really matters. Hopefully he has more luck with it now!!

Rallye looks like it will be a lot of fun

 

[Davis]

vxr looks pap, rallye looks pretty cool!

 

[.GAZ.]

Its a s**t box, chavved up death trap!

LOL!

The colour coding and debadging was actually a bit of a c**k up.

Next thing on his list are team dynamics 1.2s and bigger brakes but now the limited slip diff is playing up!

Good point, well made.

Wayne by any chance?

I just don't like it mate! Like the Ph2 Rallye's but would never buy/drive one!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Rallye is epic. VXR is almost ok.

Ignore Gaz, he owns a Mk5 Golf, the biggest pile of to$$ ever, so any opinion is invalid

 

[Fletcher]

I like the rallye, but it does look a bit of mess IMO.

In all fairness - it IS a bit of a mess but thats what I like about it.

 

[denty]

The corsa looks awful from the rear :dead:

 

[TIG ACM]

Nope, Charlie is a arctic

 

[Poopensharten]

The VXR's look lost without the 18" snowflake rims.

 

[bendee]

rallyes are epic fun it just needs some work to get it looking standard and itll be sorted.
