UPDATE:

23rd September

Sorry not much to report on the Corsa's yet. Apart from a few pics I found of my Exhaust Manifold (taken on my phone) when it was on the Rollers

I think its a bit warm

Ok onto other cars...

Here's a pic on Dan's (RX7) new Turbo before it was fitted next to a standard 200sx (T28 I believe?)

And here's a quick pic on Dan's Interior

(The piece of paper to the right of the steering wheel has Miles / KM conversion speeds written on it as he still hasn't converted his speedo yet. lol)

He fitted new side repeaters

And installed some bonnet pins

Thats a mazda spare wheel....nice

Here's another nice pic of Chris's VR6

Yesterday a group of us got together and headed to the Pod for a RWYB.... I decided to take the daily drive Fabia for the crack just to see what it could do

Here's us before we left

Some of you will recognise Oli's Nova (Dhdev)

Harry Potter and his car

These are the times that we achieved:

Dan's RX7 12.99 If only he could launch it that time would be lower in the 12's

Oli's Nova 13.8

Pauls Elise 14.4

My Fabia VRS 15.5

Which im very happy with considering its only got a panel filter and PD160 intake on it

And poor old Andy in his Mini Cooper S could only manage a 16.2

Better get that stage one tuning package on mate! Fancy having a 5 door weisel skoda beat you

UPDATE:

7th December 2007

Finally got to do some work on the Corsa tonight (with the help of a couple of mates) and started stripping the interior (which is forsale if anyone wants it... http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=398270 )

As you can see the previous owner did a good job of sound deadening it but all this will be getting removed

Couldn't believe how much that mat weighs

On to the Fabia.

I've spent a little bit of money on this recently for 2 reasons... to make it look a little better and to make it handle a little better.

First off I picked up some 17" Octavia VRS rims off ebay nice and cheap

Yes I already have these wheels but they are currently 16". Plus these have now been sent away to have the colour changed.

I have also purchased an SEAT SPORT Ibiza front strut brace

Before:

After:

And my latest purchase which i've only just received and will be fitting this afternoon. A Whiteline VW Polo Rear Antiroll bar

Just need some Coilovers now and the handling should be sorted.

I know I know, but its my daily drive and I get frustrated with the high speed handling characteristics.... its just a bit vague and doesn't inspire confidence so im hoping that the combination of the mods i've brought will sort that out

Plus the wheels were a bargain! £155 including 4 good Toyo's (205 40 17)

UPDATE:

8th December 2007

As mentioned above, i've just been outside to have a go at fitting my new Whiteline Antiroll bar to the Fabia (its actually a Polo part but the chassis's are the same so the parts are interchangable)

The kit

Before

Drop links

And fitted

3 adjustment settings, Soft / Medium / Hard. I've gone for Medium as the cars only on Eibach springs at the mo, but will see what it feels like.

Haven't driven it yet so don't know what its like. But if its anything like the Jabbasport ARB then im sure i'll be happy (and it was only £128 delivered where as the Jabbasport ARB is £100 more!)
