and the corsas a 1.4 16v seems to run pretty good ive got a performance inlet manifold to go on which should make it run nicely
the corsa needed and still needs much needed tlc ive cleaned it up quite alot all the scrapes dwn the car were all sorted.
i dont really mind myself about a few scratches cause this is bein used as a track day car and its my transport at the min till i get an impreza or an integra type r. all is i know is the corsa needs about a 1000 spending ion it to make me happy with it.

well i know the girl before dale rolled it into a field but as far as i know all that was repaired, not long before he got rid though he put it into a ditch and bent the sills, knocked skirts off etc, so check em because im sure he never got it fixed. but i never said this

cheers m8y your a star i sussed tbh summat bad had happened in the past to that car because the bonnet doesnt match the car some of the windows dont have the gm stamp, thats why the sideskirts are a bit bollocksed then,
also dales told me the car needs a vic check, its got a big dent in the drivers wing ive always known about, i think ill get the skirts off in a bit and have a look cheers again.

its my own fault for not checkin it all i just was moanin at the time to strip a car out for track days and he had that option of a straight swap so when he said i did it without thinking, it was always a risk its dale ffs lol, oh well if its fucked i want another till i get my new car so ill hunt down a mint shell then throw everything worth keeping onto that one, engine etc flog some of the bits off aswell.
i wont say i spoke to you anyway, is it true that girls mom is a copper and doesnt like dale or did he lie?

which astra mk3? the white one that was awsome i owned that just as the 1st fast and the furious came out so at the time it looked the bollocks especially as a 1st car all it needed was a redtop.
dale ruined it with 17" tsws after i sold it to him.

new alloys well i tryed them on,off my 15" astra sport alloys off my old car
soon to be fitted but refurbed and sprayed gloss white 1st,also the sparco mudflaps some may say stupid but youll get what im doing in the end.

took the driver headlight out for induction to prove what i already knew that my corsa was getting flatspots due to the engine getting warm then the car sucking hot air in making it feel a bit slow at times , when started from cold it runs better.
so relocation now needed of induction kit hole getting cut in the front bumper.
got a new front bumper tonight car currently has no front bumper on because i couldnt be bothered tonight.
will post pics tomorrow.
so now the list of mods to do:
refurb and spray my 15" astra alloys gloss white
2 new front arches
uprated front brakes(leave rears drums)
bilstein suspension kit
fit my new front bumper
get my 6 point cage welded in
fit 2 sparco bucket seats
sparco harnessess
front and rear strutbraces
chip
cam
throttlebodies
respray
4 new gsi skirt covers
buy gsi front bumper before the respray
fit the vauxhall griffin graphic
strip out the car more
remove carpet
fit group n exhaust and manifold
decat
get around ideally 150bhp+ from the x14xe
morette light kit
cut hole in front bumper for induction.
and many many more things.....

Looks good, except for the mudflaps, if you want "rally style" ones, at least get them a little smaller, looks ridiculous
And nice one for refurbing the sport wheels, heres mine:

oh now i like that,
thats exactly how i want mine
mudflaps are stopping im going full rally style i might straighten them when i can be arsed though i was maybe thinking once its had its respray etc putting the 4 standard vauxhall mudflaps on.
but i like it how it is im also on the look out for the steel astra sport 15s aswell i think they might be better for what i need.
