hi all ive been on here quite a while now but ive never bothered with a project thread as im to lazy to take photos of everything lol but as ive been told to do one i mite aswel lol
two years ago i bought my gfs corsa she paid 900 but it didnt have powersteering so she said she couldnt drive it, typical so i gave her 600 and finally had a car first off i put smoked lights stripped the back and lowered it 60mm and remus backbox
leading up to pv show (first show ive been to) i put calibra leathers(cream) in cav slabs on and badgeless grill this is the earlyist pic i have
at pv
soon after i bined the seats and put sri seats gsi door cards in removed the headline put harnesses in and painted all the inside black and put a nova steering wheel in
(carnt remember why the seats were put back in lol)
stayed like that for a while until i hated the lights so put standards back in got some depos vectra handles removed aireal v6 brakes braided lines german plates and got a carbon bonnet
pics from east mids meet last year
as my insurance went down i was in two minds to keep the corsa id always wanted to change the engine BUT i became a dad so i did the right thing and kept the corsa and did a engine swap lol ive got some pics of the swap but christ knows were they are lol any way i fitted x16xe did a full service fitted one of flames inlets, four branch, derestricted airbox k&n. while it was off road i had the roof done black and lowered the rear 100mm put some flaps on and took the middle silencer out
thats pretty much as it looks at the min i took it for a rolling road and it made 136bhp and 149tourqe (awaiting rollers out comments) ill get some pics of the engine up tommoro when i take some lol oh and im sorry if the pics are shite or to big but i aint done ote like this before lol comments welcome good or bad
