Your mates car is tidy on those wheels, and yours is as clean as ever. I'll have to come join you for one of these shoots some time soon.

had a great turn out last week, thank you to everyone who came it was good to meet you all
as my model didnt come with a rear anti roll bar as standard i bought a standard anti roll bar and a cav anti roll bar. it has really improved the handling of the car, was quite supprised to be honest, need to stiffen up the front end now
i also put a standard center pipe and airbox back on, the car seems to pull alot better now, the engine light doesnt come on as much and theres less flat spots, so im really happy with that, and although i miss it being noisey i do enjoy being able to listen to my music in peace ahaha
changed the oil, cleaned the maf sensor and egr valve, and changed the egr valve gasket, put a cleaner air filter in, cleaned the spark plugs, gave it some redex and cleaned the carb. so its now ready for the winter!

just thought i would update you guys the car has been off the road the past week, waterpump has gone and water has somehow been getting into the oil. got a bunch of new gaskets for various things, waterpump off ebay that i bought wasnt up to my dads standards so i sent it back and he is getting me one from vauxhall. while the car is off the road i will be putting the 40mm front springs on and the lagunda splitter. im sick of the car. everytime i save money for lowering it or other bits and bobs something breaks and i have to fix it. i dont think i will be doing much more to the car after the front 40mm springs and the laguna splitter :/ might just leave the splitter off because im not actually to sure if i want to keep this for much longer, fallen out of love with the thing, i have put so much money time and effort into it and its still giving me problems

That is the diary of every single corsa owner mate. Trust me stick with it. It will get better. Look at it this way once you have fixed stuff, it can't go wrong again, so just keep fixing.and it will become your favorite car.
