Had the car a 1 month now and I've been meaning to make a project thread 
Anyways here is my P reg sport when I first bought her;
After 3 weeks the engine decided to die  So after all my problems with the eco ****es I saved up and bought a 20xe  Had a full recondition from Vauxhall not long ago and is very healthy with no smoke or rattles 
Heres a crap quality picture of the engine bay
Also put my v6 brakes on 
Before on 2.0 16v brakes
during
and after
Then it was time for the engine 
started about 10am and finished about 6pm only have 1 during picture 
Had the car running but the loom i got off a mate was hanging all over so the car isn't running untill I find a 20xe loom

Had the car running for a few days but water got in the ecu and it died Bought a ecu and loom off ecclesturbo just waiting for it to come and it'll be running again In the short while it was running I didn't like the pedal I was getting so I've put the 2.0 brakes back on, heres a few pics of how low it is and the brakes;
Also bought a strut brace placed it on to see what it will look like

Did you put the ecu next to pedals? You're lucky it didn't catch fire
btw i would get a bigger air filter, I got one of these for mine, its much bigger than what it looks like in the pic

Be of a small up date, car has been running mint got a few pictures of her today even though it was dirty  Should be coming off the road next week and my little 1.5td more door is coming out to play. When its off the road I plan on getting some fast road cams, fitting my chipped ECU and a short shift linkage and new tyres hopefully

Nice. With the quickshift, Make sure you get the LMF nylon bushes and also new cup bushes from vauxhall (only about £8), Makes it awesome.

That 5 door looks pimp as fook  I didn't even know they made turbo diesel Corsa Bs
You should get some poly bushes for the green corsa, they make canny bit of difference and dont cost that much and throw away that gmax stuff
When I had the red Nova I managed to get a full set of hardly used RSX coilovers of ebay for £150 so keep watching and you'll find a bargain
