    Its not headgasket issues on the corsa VXR's. Its the 4th piston that melts, lots of speculation on what causes it. Had it happen to mine too

    • @DJMarinjo
      @DJMarinjo Před 5 lety +1

      It’s when they get smashed about with low fuel. Because cylinder 4 is the furthest away it doesn’t get enough and melts it’s self

    Calvin I watched the first VXR you posted and went out to buy one for myself which I've own since Feb 2017. These cars are a lot of fun the over-boost function still gives me an adrenaline shot. best advice is to get forged pistons coz they melt(P4). Glad I saw your video back then I have no regret buying a Corsa OPC as we call em in South Africa. Keep em vids rolling.

    My current history: Toyota Aygo at 17 (Cheap to run) Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TDI (Nice upgrade after 4.5 years of the 1.0 Aygo, 2.0 TDI but had too many problems being a Mk5, next had a Vauxhall Corsa SRI 1.4 (nice, reliable but wanted more power.
    Upgraded in March to Corsa vxr. Hands down best car I've ever owned! For the price cannot beat them. Paid £4695 for 2010 with 87,000 stock car. So far good as gold not seen any issues, quick, parts reasonable cheap if something did go wrong, and lots of fun cannot get anything near the experience and power around that price with comparable year and specs

    Head gaskets aren’t any issue on these, and they don’t overheat.

    Corsa VXRs aren't bad cars, but I've driven a few and I'm not their biggest fan. It also doesn't help like I a fast Ford 😂As always Calvin, cool video 👍

    what is the difference between the 2 exhaust Corsa vxr from the triangle Corsa vxr exhaust and what's better to buy

    • @boostedchris6120
      @boostedchris6120 Před 3 lety

      Twin exhaust tips for a corsa vxr will only be on a Nurburgring or club sport from factory with a bit extra power. Triangle style is just a design for the diffuser with a small triangle tip behind it, it’s totally up to yourself as both have the same issues with reliability unless it’s well looked after or forged

      I would agree with you both.
      Just got my 2010 MK2 ST back from Dreamscience in Hull, it's incredible. I was going to buy a 2017 ST, but very glad I didn't. Although, it was difficult to find a good MK2 ST. Here's what I had done to it:
      Stage 3+ package.
      DSCI intake with orange Hoses.
      Black DSCI intercooler.
      3” Turbo back Exhaust with Decat. (resonated)
      440cc injectors.
      RS ECU Holder.
      Mod-XRS Remap. (320BHP)
      Forge Actuator.
      Forge recirc.
      RS Oil cooler.
      RS Spark Plugs. (0.6mm)
      Whiteline Rear Anti Roll Bar.
      Eibach lowering springs.
      OEM RS MK2 Clutch Kit with release bearing.
      Quaife ATB Differential.
      DS Block Mod OEM Spec.
      Thoroughly enjoy your videos man, keep it up!
      Simon

      Simon Freeburn sounds like u got a nice car there. Mk2 looks better than mk1. I’d have the rs rear spoiler and rear defuser also.

    • @MrGraviess
      @MrGraviess Před 5 lety

      @@kristianspencer1978 Much better than the MK1. The RS defuser and spoiler are really nice, but planning on just keeping it completely stock, except for what's underneath.
      Looking forward to seeing what the new ST is like, when it's released. The MK2 is a bit of a riot, but that's why it's fun.
