Description:
The car that is so pampered and well taken care of. For it is this that takes a large amount of my monthly pay. This car that I have been driving for almost 11 years. This car that has taken to far distant places and that has always brought me back to where I wanted to be.
As one can see this is not your ordinary 1991 2.2 Liter TBI Chevrolet Corsica LT. I started to make changes as I could afford to and they have been many. The Preventive Checks and Services is a on going daily ritual. The every three month Lube, Oil and filter has been done faithfully. This is one of the most important aspects of keeping a engine in good running order. The engine needs a good tune up with quality parts at least every year in a half to two years. Improving the dependability and overall performance and fuel economy of the engine. As seen hear those are Moroso Heli core high performance 8.5MM blue Silicone wires. The spark plugs are Bosch Fusion Iridium tip plugs. The two coil packs are 45,000 volt JEGS coils. The improvement of the air intake is essential for a better breathing engine, increasing fuel economy and performance. What you see here is a cone K&N Air Charger adapted to the factory intake. These are easy modifications to make and worth the extra cost. Keeping the body as clean and a good cleaning polish before a good quantity of Turtle wax is applied at least 5 times during the warm months of the year. The addition of a front protective LaBra is essential to protect the front hood from flying sand and small stones. You must take this off once in a while to clean the residue that accumulates between the bra and the hood. A little bit of modification can make a huge difference in a cars appearance as well as the way it runs. When engine components wear out, replace them with higher / highest possible replacement parts. When tires are in need of replacement, replace with a higher performance tire. A little bit of well placed spray paint will make a great deal of difference. The easy and least expensive thing to do for the wheels is to clean polish and wax the steel rims. The interior is treated regularly with a liberal, heavy amount of Armorall. This keeps the dash and other interior items from drying out and cracking. The tires are also treated with Armorall Protective treatment. Things to live by, never run hard unless you absolutely have too. Always run the correct oil it ask for, She will let you know. Life expectancy of a well maintained Corsica, 23 or so years , 200,000 miles or so. Performance, decent. Mileage great. Style / looks good. Driving dependability and comfort, Great. Highway cruising speed, as fast as is posted or faster if the need should arise. City driving in and around town, good. Tends to run too hot if a fan switch is not installed.
