Sorry. I must of forgot to add that bit.
The Alt belt snaped and wrapped round the bottom pully. Some of it went up inside the cambelt cover. So the belt stoped and the crank carryed on going.

Update time.
After all the messing about with the Corsa, I decided to take it anyway and try to sort the problems out as i went.
Didnt quite go to plan as the problems i had have got abit worse but never mined.
Had a good day out at Pod
I managed to get in 5 runs.
Here is some pics. Me and my mate Fordy in his 1.6 8v Polo. Ran a 16.9

Small update.
Been watching a pair of front coilover's for a Corsa/Tigra/Nova on Ebay.
They are the same as what i brought for mine. I was wondering what they would go for because i thought that i got mine cheap.
Well low and behold! I did! lmao I paid £250 for the front's. Leda adjusterble rear's, ecconcentric top mounts and a spear set of front spring's.
So well happy with that purchase 
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180411006625&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Also recived some blue samco water hoses from Dick Raper today. Looks like he forgot about one though
So when i do get the other one. Witch i will add is the main one i wanted. Its the 3 port rear hose. I can then fit the mani back on and get it MOTed as its ran out now.

Update time again.
Got it all back together during last week.
Thought id take afew pic's so here is....
I spent this weekend along with afew other's at Santa Pod.
Had a awesome time.
Ran another PB for me
Some pic's i brought from Blackett Photography!
My best time of the weekend was a 11.83 @ 120mph
My worst run was a 13.7 @ 81mph Still beat a Scooby lmao
At gate pressure (10psi) I can run a 12.5 so its very stong there!
My third run on Sunday went abit wrong. Set of from the line ok. Got into 2nd and that felt ok. The 3rd, 4th and 5th it just slipped the clutch. Hence a 13.7 lol
So the standard clutch i was using is now fooked lol Done well if you ask me tho. How many people do you know that uses a stadard clutch and run 11s
All in all im happy with the car. Still got alot to do to it. But im very happy i made it into the 11s. If im rite. Im now in the top 10 fastest FWD Vuaxhalls in the country! Happy days.
The Corsa is now back in the shed were it will stay now untill next year.
So watch this space as ive got nore to come yet
Got afew more pic's and vids to do yet aswell.
