Hey im new to this site so fort ill put my corsa up on here, i live in Thetford near Bury st edmunds. i own a 2 litre corsa which i have done all the mods and engine conversion myself with my dad. i brought it back in jan 07 it was completly standard with sum shit alloys on, i started to do small mods then i got bored so i decided to do the redtop conversion.
Heres the mods:
2 litre redtop conversion
adjustable coilovers
debadged front grill
angel eye head lights
rear black lexus lights
Black 15 inch prorace alloys
fully stripped out the back
huge strut brace
288mm calibra front brake conversion
GSI front seats
Rev counter
Triple gauge pod
Uprated front anti roll bar
4-2-1 manifold, sports cat, sports mid and rear box
Future Mods:
Custom boot build
decat pipe
Race straight through pipe to a race back box
Bad boy bonnet
Pipercross foam filter
shorter rear shocks lower springs 60 or 70mm
And loads more depending on the cash lol
Heres the pics
Car at mod nats this year
The damage what i done the day after i completed the conversion lol i was changing from 2nd to 3rd and slipped to 1st the engine hit the rev limter and all 8 exhaust valves were bent because they hit they pistons but got away very lucky, coz there was no damage to the pistons lol
Rear beam conversion which needs to be fitted
Engine in my donor GSI corsa

Car at the fast show on the stand
Hope you lot like because this is my pride and joy
