You missed mine out!! Lol the vxr vx racing edition. You got to have that in there it was produced to celebrate the BTCC success and I believe they did 888 in total of the corsa and the Astra 444 of each I believe.
@@Yodaracing1 it’s cool 😎 but yeah I thinknits certainly one of the rarer ones. The full vx racing edition leather interior is lovely and heated seats too! Definitely one for the collectors garage.
I’ve got a Corsa E VXR & love it! Not as common as Fiesta ST’s and for me look a lot better inside and out! Deffo recommend a splitter kit for the looks
Although the artic is 189 as standard the remus was meant to add upto 15hp gain. Weather it does or does not i wouldnt know. Will have to get my standard one on the dyno and see 👀
Here’s the variants I knew of before: Corsa D/mk3 VXR pre-facelift Corsa D/mk3 VXR facelift Corsa E/mk4 VXR Corsa (D PFL) VXR Racing Edition “VXRacing” Corsa (D FL) VXR Nurburgring Edition Corsa (D FL) VXR Clubsport Edition Corsa VXR Artic Edition eCorsa (F/mk5) VXR rumoured to be coming 2022 New ones I learnt about: Corsa VXR Blue Edition Great video mate, shame your vxr is a little bit poorly rn hope every is okay with it.
Ahh that’s great I’m glad I managed to show you one that u didn’t know about 👍🏻👍🏻 and yea it will be hopefully getting sorted next month 🤞🏻 thanks for the kind comment it’s always appreciated 👍🏻
I have a 17plate one and paid 10k for it 18montn ago and price still holding at 10k so I'm happy. And the seats IMO are the best on any hot hatch, and I must admit the bright green paint was eye catching as well lol.
@@Yodaracing1 yeah one of the things that made me buy them. And first thing I did was spray the inserts bright green lol. Nice subtle touch to the all black interior.
Nice overview of history. I thought the club sport came in a limited number also and had 2-3 bhp more. Would be good if you went through some of the external things as well, maybe even how many colours they did etc. Personally thing the vxr D is the better looking one centre exhaust and the air vents in the arches. Definetly more masculine , vxr E just seems a bit watered down. Great video!!!!
Cheers buddy I was gonna go into a bit more depth on the corsas but didn’t want people to get bored lol I could possibly do a few videos going Into a bit more depth on each car if it’s summot people would wanna see thanks for the kind comment mats it’s always appreciated
@@Yodaracing1 Its interesting to know about a certain car, some might say it's a bit anorakie, cars become more of a hobby especially more so with lockdown. Can't wait until ther is a decent car show to go to.
The Corsa VXR Blue Edition is basically an extra Option for the Opel OPC models. I know that because I own a 2007 Opel Corsa OPC with the lue RIngs/Seat Extras and it never came with "Blue Edition" Stickers
The clubsport. If optioned with full leather interior comes with white stitching throughout the car compared to the standard black stitching on the other Corsa’s although not stated by Vauxhall themselves the dyno at 209bhp compared to the 204bhp of the Nurburgring due to the Remus backbox. Only 264 cars were made and came in 4 colour options
I’ve got a 1.3 Corsa D. Pulls like a train but the body is shot. What’s a reasonable price to expect to pay for a clean VXR or 1.7 CDTi? I mean one that isn’t rusted on the arches/sills. Love the way mine drives but it’s not far off the end of its service life and I want another but I’m not expecting to find a clean 1.3 😓 I at least know mostly what to look for but I don’t wanna get ripped off when the time comes. Is it even possible to find a truly decent one for less than 4k? I prefer the pre face lift’s styling but can always tweak a face lifted one if need be. Any information would be appreciated.
@@Yodaracing1 thanks. People think I’m insane looking to buy another but i can’t really fault mine. Was really after one with minimal modifications. Don’t have any plans for serious tuning either aside from the cylinder head/intake manifold and an exhaust or something. I realised it’s just too expensive going into huge engine upgrades on a car that’s already got quite a bit of miles on it. I just love the way they drive and how they look. Sad it’s hard to find one that isn’t a rust bucket now. It’s worse because I live in a really remote area and finding any sort of replacement for what I’ve got already will be tough. Still I’m glad to hear it’s not impossible to make a childhood dream a reality. Been crazy about old Vauxhalls ever since an Astra MK5 overtook my family back in like 2006 or something - it looked so good in my opinion. The hate these cars get makes it even funnier because people underestimate them =)
You forgot the vxracing edition and the vxr-r, the corsa vxr-r was done by thorney motorsport they had 250bhp surposely done by thorney motorsport and only came in black with red and green stripes at the side and came with team dynamics pro race 1.2 with the green outline with ap callipers, it also had a quaife diff installed and the price brand new was £22,495 it’s very rare more rare than the vxracing edition
@@Yodaracing1 There very very rare now mate, I remember seeing them for sale aswell😂 I remember seeing the Astra h vxr-r for sale and seeing the corsa vxr-r for sale I wish I brought them now, it’s totally up to you tbh mate
Best way to find out would be to take it to a tuner and get them to data log it to see if the file on the ecu is stock good investment though as there aren’t many arctics about now
@@Yodaracing1 one of the reasons i got it with it being arctic soon as i seen it i fell inlove with it, yeah I'll definitely get it check out and find out if its forged

Cheers buddy means a lot
Thanks for the video. Well done
Cheers buddy really appreciate that 👍🏻👍🏻
I have the BURG way better than the others however I did have a piston 4 which was a shock however thankfully warranty saved my life
Deffo lucky it was covered by warranty mate rare for the burgs that but least u got it sorted 👍🏻👍🏻

@@trickyg9130 well look out for my next video as will be doing a video on the 888 and the vxr-r
Does the E suffer the same problem as the D regarding the rear bumper rubbing on the arch causing rust?
Erm yea they can do not as common as the d though due to them being newer
Clubsports have a B16, believe they were done as a testbed for the corsa E, vx head office say thay there were 246 (cs) built.
👍
I own a clubsport and think they could be the rarest as they only made like 250 i believe. Great video though 👌

Cheers for the information mate 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve got the normal corsa vxr turbo, not problems as of yet hah
Well that’s deffo good they aren’t as bad as people make out 😊
I’ve had mine since October 2018, only issue was the gearbox that was rebuilt and nothing else was wrong with it, still going strong now
Yea that’s a common fault but easily rectified aswell :) I’m sure u will get a lot more years use out of it
@@StreetDancerAgain hi just watched you video what’s needed for stage 2
really good there's so many different ones to me i would of guessed there all the same 👍
Haha yea there are a few different ones lol

4K is a decent budget ideally try find one that’s forged

say. does the facelift corsa with the A16 engine still have piston 4 issues?
Yea mate but they got slightly bigger injectors but still can fail
@@Yodaracing1 Oh I understand. thanks for the reply
Great video do you know if corsa e vxr as the piston 4 problem are have vauxhall sort this issue out on the e thanks
It’s not as common but can still happen
Same you left us racing editions out lol 😆
Will make it up to u next video haha 👍🏻
The remus exhaust on the artic is claimed to up the power too 204bhp. My artic says 204bhp on the log book but never been on a dyno so 🤷♂️
Yea it’s hard to say ain’t it still good cars though 😎
Good one 👌
Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻

@@Yodaracing1 There very very rare now
mate, I remember seeing them for sale aswell😂 I remember seeing the Astra h vxr-r for sale and seeing the corsa vxr-r for sale I wish I brought them now, it’s totally up to you tbh mate
I've got a problem with left front light afl prelift, sth got stuck and light is in a shape of triangle. Help mates, greets from Poland.
Hmmm tough one sounds like the motor that moves the projector has failed check all the wires are ok etc
Recently got myself an arctic edition, it was about 5k and only on 49k miles. It could be remapped so im worried its got a map on stock pistons 😂
Best way to find out would be to take it to a tuner and get them to data log it to see if the file on the ecu is stock good investment though as there aren’t many arctics about now
@@Yodaracing1 one of the reasons i got it with it being arctic soon as i seen it i fell inlove with it, yeah I'll definitely get it check out and find out if its forged

Nice mate i do like the Arctic’s 👍🏻👍🏻
@@Yodaracing1 Enjoying your videos keep up the good work mate 🙃 Ps love your motor 😉

@@Yodaracing1 No probs buddy you'll be shocked iv gone from a Golf R mk7 Stage 2 Map to a 1.6 Corsa Artic 🙈 definitely feel the difference 😆
Lol yea deffo a bit of a downgrade mate but still a good all rounder
Bet you wished you kept yours.
