Also the ultimate itâs the vxrR
Love the random video drops in time for dinner too đđŻ
I'm 51 and love my Corsa vxr puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.
Allways love the random bits of info like "forgot my belt.. feel like a roadman" in calvins vids đđđđ
Seat issue is normal, you can get a clip set from Recaro, they send it out to you free, just email them. Another great video, I miss mine.
The seats can be fixed easily with some clips direct from recaro, they used to send them out for free but have since stopped. They charge a small amount for them now. Happens on every single model of corsa vxr. I have a 2016 corsa E VXR with the performance pack, full leather heated seats, winter pack. Itâs a brilliant little car.
I have corsa e vxr still not fixed it đđ€Šđ»ââïž
Where can you
Get the clips from
Aye calv your never too old for a tear up in a motor mate.
Calvin itâs bring backing the memory of the first video I watched of you in that red corsa with the boom box in the back, my god Iâve been around awhileđ
I loved my 07 Corsa Vxr. Bought it with just 8k on the clock, it soon needed a gearbox(luckily under warranty) then needed another box rebuild at around 25k. Lowered 25mm H&R springs, remus down pipe, panel filter, Such a superb handling little thing. Engine wise was trouble free I was always scared to have it mapped due to piston 4 issue.
Two gear box rebuild under 30k that's RIDICULOUS wow lucky you had that warranty
@@aqibmehboob976 That shows that the gearbox is not up to the engines power output. If the dealer could have proved that the first gearbox was due to driver error, it would never have been replaced.
@robert Willis na totally understand that mate and understand cars my thing is what was they thinking at vauxhall Luton ? If you have a shoddy gear box no point tryna put 200 horse power through it makes no sense why they would design and produce it knowing gear bo can't handle it
got a 2012 vxr, stage 2, 3inch piper with sports cat, aem cone filter and lowered on 15mm eibach's. had to do replace the 6th gear bearing about 2 years ago, common on these when you start to get a whine coming from the gearbox area. and I had to replace the clutch about a year ago. apart from that, had no real engine trouble. running 220bhp. runs like a dream. not forged either. people get scared about the piston 4 issue but if you take care of it and do a full yearly service every time, you should be fine. only done 26k miles as well and they are going up in value.
Good old M32 gearbox, shame it took them so long to beef up but I find it odd how unmapped you needed 2 replacements on a corsa. Thought it was more of a problem on mapped diesels or even bigger power tuned astra VXRs
Calvin great video, you making me miss my VXR, I now want one again haha. One little quirk/easter egg not many people know about. Open the passenger side door and open the glove box what do you see on the side of the glove box? đ This is the inspiration for the design of these cars as it coincides with why the bodywork includes "gills" on the front and rear bumpers, your welcome đ€
Was around 900 NĂŒrburgring Editions and was only 250 Clubsports. Had a Clubsport VXR myself and loved it.
Had to take my wife's Corsa VXR for the MOT the other day, rarely drive it, fun little car so took the long way home! She won't part with it despite suggesting to get something else, probably worth a reasonable amount, 9 years old with 13,600 miles on the clock. 12-mile weekly commute to work keeps the miles down, one bonus is that it only needs petrol every 3 months.
I used too own the corsa nurburgring that James May drove on top gear......probably one of the most fun cars ive owned for a bit of b road bashing....the lsd works a treatđ
Hereâs your đ
you mentioned about the gearbox i bought one 2 years ago i had gearbox problems was so hard to change gear used to get stuck alot . Love your videos bro
I remember one of the women at my office buying one of these thinking they'd bought a normal corsa đđ they didn't even realise how fast it was
What was their recation? đ đ
Pick mine up tomorrow! Very regular services and it's in fantastic shape!
Look after things and they'll look after you
I have the clubsport VXR and it is just a character of a car I fully love the car. Petrol isnât great but doesnât matter the exhaust sound is insane specially when you pop and bang
I've had my corsa nurburgring for about a year now and love it!! All of the upgrades make this car an absolute gem to drive. Only downside is the exhaust note isnt that great. Mines in glacier white with 55k on the clock. I think they made 500 in each colour but only 500 were numbered.
Get a piper cat back system, nice loud tone to it and pops n bangs too
Any one who knows vxrâs knows the Remus is the pipe!!
I donât think any Nurburgring editions were numbered but, same as clubsport no one of them were numbered and they only sold about 250 of them, arctic and vx racing edition were numbered from factory
@@debby-janejaber4115 about 1200 were made of the corsa vxr Nurburgring and 500 of them was signed by Vauxhall as iv got edition 363/500
interesting watch i had one come up behind me once i was impressed how quick it was but did understeer a lot around some twisty stuff.
Iâve got a normal corsa vxr, facelift 2012 model in Arden blue. Had it 5 years now on 77k, stock engine just got an exhaust and visuals on it and cannot fault mine at all. I reckon these cars are well worth the money. Nice to see a burg featured in this video.
Loving the Vauxhall Corsa D VXR 205bhp 1.6T 16v well nice in green.
Owned 2 of these one black and one orange, cool as and pretty unique! They made 500 to start with and then an additional 300 so only 800 made! Rare cars
Shame vauxhall (I mean Peugeot) dropped the VXR brand completely. These were really good cars for young people who wanted something less common than a fiesta ST.
I had the exact same car on a 63 plate. Loved it but exhaust was very quiet and got rid due to starting a family. My lsd had to be replaced around 10k miles on warranty as it permanently locked up. And the book 0-60 was 6.9 seconds if I remember rightly
Moved house so catching up on videos, always had a soft spot for Vauxhalls loved clips of the old school novas calibra etc, mate had normal Arden blue vxr when it was a year old,awesome cars in my opinion, another great video again Calvin
Can't get enough off a vauxhall as now living in Jamaica and ship mine out here they love it
I bought one yesterday!! Super excited! Mines the black sapphire Nurburgringđđ€
That nova GSi you showed was the same as the one I had đ silk metallic violet with speedlines loved that thing đ„Č
I'm not into Vauxhalls but it does look good especially love the colour.
Best colour imho and same as mine altho mine is far from standard now tho and the piper turbo back system makes all the right noises..
I may be 54 years old but you never get too old or tired of the noise of these when you nail the throttle and get that nice pop on the over runđđđ
Had a gtc vxr for 3 years, great car.
Never told old for a little rip about calv đ by far the best colour too!
Calvin loved vx back in the day had the nova SR and a calibra quality old school â€
Really like these and you don't often see them. Bit more expensive to run than a Fiesta ST and were more expensive to purchase new but I love seeing them about
Love the seats in these
A nice looking style of car and I love the greenđ
i've got a nurburgring myself, it's a nice car, but happened the 4th piston doomsday so... well needs to forge it now, i'll be back stronger as ever!
Nice car Calvin.
I've owned my Vectra VXR for almost 9 years now - in your hometown Luton , still puts a smile on my face and still surprises a lot of newer cars.
Great car the veccy vxr, I might one day get the daddy of all Vauxhalls the ls3 vxr8. Beautiful car.
@@kristianspencer1978 My mate just sold his Monaro VXR , an absolute beast.
I would love a vectra VXR as a weekend car, I have an insignia SRI which is also a great car, But Iâve always wanted a vectra.
@@johnny6476 They are cheap enough to buy mate , mainly because of running costs , tax etc.
I love mine , and they are getting rarer , less than 500 left in the UK.
Lovely little car, love the colour.
i have a corsa e vxr and i love it, the seat is a common issue though same on mine, i think there is some clips that stop it.
Ahh sick my best mate had a noba gsi in that colour also. Seemed rapid back in 1998 lol
I am a Ford guy but I've always loved a VXR or GSI. The Arden Blue colour that VXRs have is gorgeous.
What do you use for your voice audio? Do you use some sort of separate mic recorder?
Love a bonus video
these VXR's are very underrated. Nice to see one on the channel. I thoroughly enjoy my Astra GTC VXR, Zafira VXR and Vectra VXR
Underrated my ass they are weak ass cars with a chocolate gearbox and engine and many other weak ass components soon to disappear due to being shit
Loved my gtc vxr. Proper underated car. They handled great. Though the tyers cost a bomb. They was bloody wide.
@@MrThegenral1 for real, the astra 2007 vxr was the only good built car
@@MrThegenral1 could say the same about alot of cars evo's have weak gearboxes, rs6 have a chocolate rear diff, scoobies ring land failure each car has a down side
@@MrThegenral1 yeah following the bandwagon of idiots who have not owned the car. The only reason why the gearbox goes is due to irregular gearbox services and using the wrong f*cking oil. Most people who drive them are young and are just getting into cars. Second of all, the 4th piston goes because people run bigger power with stock supporting mods such as injectors and con rods. In addition, most are badly mapped and fuel air ratio is rubbish as a result of incorrect mods etc. Do your research before chatting shite mate
The 250 you were referring to was the Corsa vxr clubsport I had one!
Love these little cars still got my import corsa gsi import loved that car should fix it and get it back on the road so many good memories
And it was a corsa c not b
Love this vxrâs got 2 my self a nurb and a normal
Had one from new, cracking little car, ate cyclinder 4 after 15k miles, fixed under warranty for free, never felt the same
Cracking car after eating a cylinder after 15k miles lmaooo you mean a cracking turd
New to the Channel
Great video I had the orange one nice little car
Great video, nice to see a Vauxhall. Would be nice if you could get hold of an Insignia VXR and see how much faster it is than the Astra VXR
He done the insignia vxr and from what I remember he didnât like it that much
Yes ive just remembered and watched it over and Calvin liked the car but not the power delivery and said that a remap would sort it right out. Would still like to see if he could get one in get it mapped and do a planetofdreams on it
@@michaelpoplett983 the power delivery is ok on a standard insignia they go well out of the box, maybe he was being very picky, but yeah planet of dreams would be good đ
Oh dont get me wrong i love the Insignia ive got a 2.0T myself and love it
@@michaelpoplett983 good man đ have a vectra vxr myself
Iv had vxr Astra n Vectra need 1 of these đđ
The NĂŒrburgring Corsa D is the older version of a Corsa E VXR with performance package. The Corsa E with PP has the better breaks, better suspeons and also a drechsler diff. I drive one of these. :)
Really got a soft spot for the green vxr
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure they have bilstein suspension as standard too đ
They do
as I've read calv there was meant to be "250" but they did so well the first year they made over 500. the second year they did another 500 so there not what Vauxhall had initially set out to be! I had one in white! which was among the rarest and loved it but I always wish id had gone for the club sport! 'Cheating for Vauxhall as it was identical in every way barring the colour scheme' i loved the grey they did!. sold the Corsa got an s3 went stage 1 sold it and now i have a much loved and actually rare Astra burg!. (in white. the only colour!)
I bought a one brand new in 2016 which had a lot of the same upgrades as the nurburgring edition. Had it nearly 4 years kicked the shit out of it at any opportunities and the only money it cost me was a set of front tyres.
Corsa vxr or fiesta st3
Which would u chose.
You must definitely try the cords vxr club sport,
That is a nice corsa đ
what app do you use for the extra spec list
Nice looking carâŠ
Nice cars for the money they go for now đ€
Been close to buying one of these for a while, but the main worry is the Engine weakness. Viewed a few and just cant push myself to buy one. Seat bolster coming away ive seen loads.
Ive got the grasshopper green 13 plate with heated leather seats it's mint. Im 43 and you never get sick of throwing them around b road's with the LSD đ
I was love one of these, but so anxious about getting one and having lots of issues :(
Are they as poor on reliability as people say? E.g the pistons
The mini is the dogâs đ I was looking forward to winning it even if it has had a bump
astra VXR's are from the golden age of hot hatch backs if you ask me, always liked the Corsa's, though they were a bit newer they still kept that OG hot hatch shape/look that most manufactures moved from... shame that vauxhall have so many issues, the gear boxes are literally made of cheese for a start ahah
I think they used the same engine in the astra 1.6 turbo (non VXR model and quite a rarity) I might be wrong though!
EDIT: haha yes calv you mentioned the cylinder and gearbox issues aha
Yeah same engine in the 1.6 astra
These little vxrs are little pocket rockets đ
I think Calvin really is a Roadman but doesn't want us to knowđ€Ł
Vauxhall m32 box is made of chocolate, had two rebuilt myself, put me off getting vauxhall again.
That's a good planet of dreams car
I've got the orange one, nb little car.
Love the corsa but loved the Astra more
Just put a deposit down on a Green Burg after selling my 730d M-Sport back to the dealer, pick it up this week!đđ»
Quality! Congrats mate! đ
Enjoy that m32 chocolate gearbox
@@terry85t81 my gearbox got done in September, guess what, needs doing again lol
@@davidpritchard6137 omg for real those gearbox are complete shit I cannot believe Vauxhall keep using it.expensive fix too.
@@terry85t81 they get used in so many vauxhalls it's unreal, a lot of Renaults use it aswell, worst thing about the cars
I think James May drove one of these on Top Gear.
Just shy of 500 made of the Nurburgring, people liked them that much they later made 500 Clubsport editions which were pretty much the same
Corsa VXRs are fun and they look good too but itâs a shame they have engine issues
This car has picked up more 14 year olds than Prince Andrew
Calvin man I've just bought a corsa vxr artic adition a week ago I want to see how they compare đ€Ł love this one
What a coincidence
I know đ€Ł but the artic have a glass pan sunroof and can't beat white on black. They look better in my opinion
@@SPG-ze1mp Arctic edition is faster by the looks of it, got 20-70 in 6.6 seconds, over a second quicker and it does have that Remus exhaust
Mines had a decat aswell and sounds better đ€Ł Calvin before you sell it invite me down and we can compare đ€Ł
@@SPG-ze1mp donât think Calvin shifting quick enough, either that or the arctic has quite abit more power then Vauxhall claim
Racing edition is the rarest I believe 444 made. Nurburgring was going to be 250 a year but ended up building about 700-800 I believe
You should do a video of you doing some taxi work do a shift down the local taxi rank haha would be a great video...take some subscribers for a ride or a lift
What's the tune at 6.54 calv?
If thatâs a corsa from 2015 ish best car Iâve ever owned
This my old motor! Lovely little car wish I kept it!
It's forsale lol
I used to have a corsa vxr and the seat thing happened to me if you get in contact with Vauxhall they will send you out some clips for free
I had a chille orange it was 311 out of 500 good fun car but too slow when standard
Suites you Calve that.. your would proper fit in on Mccy D's car park lad :P
Shouldnât it have Xenon Headlights? Thought those were standard on the VXRâs?
The true Noncemobile, park up in Maccies carpark and youâre all set
Chocolate gearbox and LSPI piston 4 our all pistons đđbut loved my Nbug best B Road basher I have owned. Just a gearbox rebuild for me and 2 springs & windows wiper motor đ
Ticking time bomb chocolate gearbox would put me off owning one but Iâm sure there is a market for them.
Can u do one on a insignia vxr
I think the orangey red vxr colour is called chilli orange
GTE Nova, great car đ
Engines don't get rebuilt for nothing, probably thrashed.
You're right Astra and Corsa are not comparable, had both.
you should try get a skoda fabia vrs mk2 on the channel they are really underrated
Buy a Fiesta ST180 instead. Engine's and gear boxes don't blow to pieces.
Burgs were 500+ made. It's the Clubsports we're only 240 ish we're made. Got a 64 plate Clubsport.
Itâs not 250 made , itâs around 950 for the uk market and around 250 clubsports
Just come across this, I now own the very car in the video. Its a credit to the last owners a lovely car to own
