@Bob Pegram 😂😂

[@okshaan]

Vauxhall is so underrated in general I’d say, sure there are the jokes about McDonald’s drive thru and young girls being picked up by them but for real they’re decent cars.. got one on my channel a yellow GTC 👀😂 @Calvin hit me up mate 😉😂

[@woody555kl]

Astra vxr's are a world away from a shitty corsa vxr, personally prefer astra h vxr but the gtc is good too and handles better than the h

[@okshaan]

woody555kl I agree mate 110%

[@TNotoriousAdam]

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]

mine had it too, probably running too lean on cilinder 4 because of a design error on the fuel rail

[@curtmeister1]

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

[@JakeSmith-lk3hw]

So if u have a full tank all the time your good ?

[@samfjturner]

Jake Smith no that’s what people say😂, just warm it up and cool it down and don’t rag it all the time and you’ll be fine.

[@ryanthomas1882]

i thought camera's only work if theres lines on the road or only flash if you go the opposite direction so it is able to take a picture of the rear yellow plates?

[@DanielJones-yw3sn]

No that was a front facing cam that takes pick of driver and number plate has red filter on it

[@pikmin2244]

Camera's don't work here in the UK. There's a very small percentage that do. Fly past a camera over 100mph on a 40 and they still don't flash.

[@cfbm125]

Calvin, Please try a different filter on your camera, it really fecks with the paint colours!! 👍

[@waveylp4722]

Yeah I didn't realise his golf r was lapiz blue for about 3 months ahah!

[@TekStar]

he does it on purpose, he knows it shows a different colour, he mentions it on one of his lotus videos

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

Yea for some strange reason I like it. I know what you mean tho. When I start disliking it I’ll probably change it. Thanks for the feedback 👌👊🏼

[@cfbm125]

Calvin's Car Diary yeah, I knew that you knew about it and that it was intentional but just thought it was worth another mention👍, interestingly the golf R at the start appears in the correct lapiz shade, unlike AR51HOL usually does, different camera?

[@ReissStevens]

CarlosFandango it’s post film editing that makes the colours look different I think bud. He adds a colour correction to change the colours. I don’t think it’s a filter on a camera or a particular camera.

[@kylebaldwin4325]

Temp Gauge: On your wiper stalk, press the button on the end 4 times and hold it on the 4th press. Wait 10secs till your mileage changes. Press the button a further 5 times and theres your temperature.

[@DomWayne]

Does it show on LE’s too?

[@kylebaldwin4325]

@@DomWayne if you have the trip computer coupled with button on the end of the wiper stalk I don't see any reason why it shouldn't... I've never owned an LE so couldn't say, but I have had an SRI and VXR and they work on both of them anyway.

[@kylebaldwin4325]

FYI You can also press the mileage reset button in the same sequence as explained above, it does the same as the end of the stalk but it's easier to press the stalk.

[@hoffmanlol]

It does work on the LE too i can confirm as ive had both 😀

[@notmanynamesleft]

Anything 300bhp+ is rarely useable on the roads nowadays, they're too congested,you will only appreciate a real high power machine in the early hours when the roads are dead,plus these type of cars you can drive to the limit which makes it more fun

[@Brissoboy4]

I swear you’re the funniest character on KZbin atm that intro had me 😂

[@scorcha100]

You hit the nail on the head. Its not all about the £20k+ cars, the bargain pocket rockets are just as much fun. Keep up the good work and smashing out the videos 👊🏾

[@tommorrissey8379]

I can’t believe this I’ve been looking at that blue vxr on binca for ages, when I first started watching the video I recognised the Reg straight away!! Never knew Calvin was involved. So cool 👍🏼

[@df9834]

Great video again Calvin. Love the variety of hot hatches on your channel. From a few grand, to the high end stuff 👌

[@slmont8915]

That was one of the best, funniest intros ever lol 🤣 wheels off the ground!! ...I mean nah nah...cant say that...course not

[@mondlimazibuko2014]

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.

[@JT-hp9jf]

VXRS would be absolute machines if it weren't for piston four and if the gear box was a little stronger they would be on the top spot for hot hatches i think. Very fun little cars.

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

Great video Calvin, I own one of these and love it. I also discovered your channel by watching the original red corsa vxr video.

[@mirola73]

Had an Astra (2014) and now have a Corsa (2015), yep, the Astra IS the better car. Some really basic cheap things the Astra had, the Corsa has not, something that I just don't understand.

[@Danielz82]

I wanna know how much u paid for them and how much your selling them for..

[@CarObsession]

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 👍

[@COYS23]

So much bad press these cars , service and maintenance is essential , warm up and cool down these cars will look after you ... modify and map and dont upgrade internals then wonder why they blow then its your own fault !

[@kristianspencer1978]

Astra vxr is a nicer car, but I wouldn’t buy one, I would rather have a focus st. U can’t beat a 2.5 5 pot that sounds like an old school Audi Quattro.👍

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

Kristian Spencer spot on comment 👌

[@MrGraviess]

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

[@kristianspencer1978]

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]

@@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.

[@MRLEGACYOFFICIAL]

haha mental that! first ever vid i watched of yours was the day you released the old vxr vid. then a couple of weeks later discovered your old ep3 type r video and bought one of them instead. now looking to buy a mazda 3 mps. would love to see a vid on one of them if you can!

[@ftgoggi4715]

Nearly bought Mazda 3 mps on a couple of occasions. Gearboxes are horrible and they'll eat tyres faster than they drink petrol. Definitely quick and fun though.

Vauxhall build quality are pure shit ! aha 😆

[@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206]

It is WHAT IT IS.. A Vauxhall Corsa with some NAFF bits of plastic stuck on .. A 1.6 Litre 4 cyl engine with a turbo fitted and the "Rev band" has been upped at a cost to the life expectancy of the engine.. Yes OK if you are easy pleased you will love this car... BUT there are a LOT better cars than this for THE SAME MONEY on the 2nd hand car market... I owned one of these for 3 Years ..Like I say it is OK ... But it is NOT the best ...FAR from it. HINT.... A well looked after second hand Type R Honda Civic is a MUCH better choice.... And you guys KNOW I am right..

[@notmanynamesleft]

Is it true Vauxhall manufacture chocolate gearboxes?

[@TheKandR]

notmanynamesleft on the astra yes but otherwise there ok

[@jambom33]

Vauxhall don’t, Getrag do though. Also found in Fiats and Alfa Romeos!

[@stevecole1984]

Going for the fast & furious gear change cam....... :p

[@JamesMonty]

Try a clio 182 or 197 back to back and no choice. Horrible drivers car, worst car I've ever tried. Nothing like a civic Type R! either 😂

I had a Corsa GSI back in the day, also had a gasket probem and the engine needed a rebuild. Cost me a fortune to get it repaired. Vauxhall washed their hands of it after losing my full service history. I found out that Tigra's had the same issues. You would have thought that Vauxhall would have sorted the issues for following ranges. Obviously do not give a toss about their customers. Swore I will never touch another Vauxhall again. Hopefully other victims of Vauxhall have not bothered with the brand again .Look forward to the day that Vauxhall announce they have gone bust.

[@hyraxhd3011]

They are very nice cars them Corsa VXR's, Them 2 colours next to each other looked so good too :D

[@malcolmcowan9554]

I had Corsa d sxi sri and black edition I'm vauxhall nut but there dog slow. The polos far superior fast with only 3 cylinder engines couldn't belive how good it was. Corsa vxr needs 1.6 turbo get it moving

Calvin don’t know if you get many in or not but doing vids on other than just cars like sport vans or high end 4x4 etc be very interesting to watch as myself love vans as I own a Transit Custom would love to see vids on vans btw WAY prefer to watch Transits than any other vans also loving the vids man cant stop watching them keep it up

[@shaunalexander2277]

Calvin I recently I bought a corsa vxr and I was thinking of getting it mapped I’m just wanting to know between the 2 corsas you droves on your channel the mapped one and the standard one was there a big difference in power do you think it’s worth doing or am I better keeping it standard? Any information/advice would be appreciated

[@finnmillington4691]

Head gaskets aren’t any issue on these, and they don’t overheat. The issues are the piston 4 known issue, and the M32 Chocolate gearbox. Get a lot of bad rap but piston 4 tends to only go on remapped cars done by questionable places.

There’s a way of bringing up the temperature, and normally just a bad temperature sensor that causing it to run hotter than it should. Cheap part, cheap fix, gear box on the other hand is a difference story.

[@leesawyer323]

Big question for you... the type r or the vxr??

[@richardfield3148]

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

[@boostedchris6120]

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
