1.7 isuzu engines are popular with the drag boys - very reliable and the boost can be easily upped. not made by GM so >_<


Isn't that the engine they put in the old Combos? We had an old Combo which had a 1.7 Isuzu diesel, but it wasn't turbo charged and it only did 85mph. Is it the same engine?



Not quite - mine is the later version - 100 whores with 0-60 in 9.3 sex tops 130mph but in a mini its a LOT more potent ;D

Sounds like a plan that sir!

I know the 1.7 Corsas aren't slow and I imagine you'll be able to have that engine chipped for a few more ponies >_<.

EDIT: In fact, is the 1.7 CDTi not the engine they put in the diesel Corsa SRi's?

Any news??? :D Only just started on project so still in planning, obtaining bitz stage. :thumbsup:

Will be collecting BIGGAV's shell tomorrow as I reckon that will look more "wikkid" than my original 2-seater.

Managed to get hold of Voxhool CorSir manual (on cd) for 1.7tdi off fleebay. Nobody including Haynes produce one for this particular model (2005/6), so well chuffed. :)

Paid over da dosh (so no leaving country mate :-).

So back next week with "La *******" and a "real" trailer.

Ooooooooooooooooh yes, keeping the mods to frighten Porkies, Zooboorooz & Koorserz off the road, LOL. :thumbsup:

Seriously folks, I like the mods, they make this car special.

Ideas needed for graphics/colour scheme - its "The Miesel" so anything germy or trains etc.

I was thinking possibly 2-tone paint job Black & deep red candy colours perhaps merging from bottom up like "a vorlon spaceship" (Babylon 5 series) I'm not sad - really!!!! :dontgetit:

Answers on a piece of paper and send to ................ or just post ideas on this topic please. :thumbsup:
