I love a good party--especially a MOD party!!

Once the mod bug bites, there is no cure.

They look and sound great!

Well--it's official: I LOVE these Corsa's!! Drove to Palomar Mtn. today (inland SD County, rural, winding, fun roads)... It's like a different car! What is really cool it the "b-r-r-r-p" sound when shifting gears under WOT (A/T)... and the "pops" on sudden decel are minor, but really nice!

Cruising--normal conversation in the cabin... At first I almost thought too-quiet--until I hit the gas...

And it sure seems--if not in fact--to be faster!

Yes--the MOD bug-bite is in full effect... gonna look at the catalogs tonite...

Nice job, guys. Looks great and I'm sure it sounds much better. Good to see newer members here picking up the torch and helping each other out with mods. That's what makes it so much fun.

You can have blazing performance, good driveability for around town, and still be CA smog legal. The fun begins.

It really IS fun--more than I imagined... I feel very fortunate to be able to have the time and ability to pursue this fantastic hobby!!

I never thought I'd enjoy errand-running so much!!

I put Corsa pace cars on as well and I too cannot stop driving it! I love the gurgling/popping in deceleration. The sound is so intoxicating, and I cannot get enough. This is how these cars should have come sounding from the factory.

I sawed my OEM's off and never looked back. I installed Corsa Pace Cars and agree, you made a great choice. My quess, within a year I see a Corsa X pipe in your future. Enjoy
