Cheers guys
Noticed a slight improvement on performance, Noise has reduced a little which is good. I'm sure once I get the fuelling problem sorted it'll be much better than the smaller exhaust.

Had a busy day today, After fitting an exhaust on a Prelude, discs and pads on a mk5 Astra and HIDs on a Volvo S60 I finally got chance to strip the suspension on mine.
I'm replacing the coilover springs for 300lb ones, The gearbox needs new oil seals and it needs 2 CV boots for the MOT.
Nothing of interest really but here's pics anyway.

Not much to report.
Had to replace a rear bearing after it collapsed.
Fitted some Opel mud flaps whilst I was at it.

Been a while since I last updated, Primarily down tot he fact i've not had the time or inclination to do much to it with buying a house.
Car is now in the garage on stands whilst I wait for some exhaust bends and a centre box.
I'm in the process of fabricating a complete 2.5" system, with a mate. Manifold is on.

Well my poor baby hasnt been driven since November whilst i've been slumming it in the luxury of a comfy ride in my Vectra.
Me and my mate Gaz finally got round to making my 2.5" exhaust system, It's now 2.5" from Manifold back.
John Ashley manifold.






Also wired up my wideband gauge


Tomorrow i'll run the wiring for the sub and amp so it's ready for when the sub box arrives.

Suppose I should keep this upto date.
I've not really done much to the Corsa lately as I haven't been driving it much.
I did fit a USB charger for my phone the other day.
Still to fit is the throttle body kit and 4 pot brakes I bought in the last few months.

Yea, Was wondering whether to go TB or turbo. I decided to go Tb as it would be better as a day to day car.
I practically new setup came up on MIG so I snapped it up. Just need to finish off the Corsa C for my wife so I can get it out of the garage and get the B in there to do the work.

I wasn't planning on touching the engine until next year but this kit was hard to pass up.
It was an impulse buy which has meant my plans have been brought forward
