Good stuff.
A Turbo corsa is so much more fun than an N/A equivilant imo.

Not updated this in a wee while , basically car was running sweet , got it motd mid december , then just had to tax , so taxed it 3-4 days before xmas , went home to put disc in window and go out a drive since i hadnt had it out on the road yet! , and disaster struck! , basically i never checked when car came back last time for ant-freeze!  and the water pump had froze and i tried bumping the car because i thought the starter was buggered , front wheels lock up hmmmmm not good , the damage was 4 snapped valves , vale seat damaged , 12 bent valves , 1 snapped spark plug , 1 pierced piston!! one scored but can be fixed , hmmmmmmm lovly :@ , so managed to source a xe head all built ready to go , also noticed when head was off that the pistons were a bit white hmmm runnin lean due to fact was running probs 25psi of boost on stard fueling by previous owner!! not good , this weekend going to pick up cossie adjustable fuel reg off starkie off here , drop that off then its just a matter of waiting till its all put back together again! , then need to get the boost and fuelling set up for the ph2 software and hopefully have some hassle free driving for a wee while at least! i will update more as and when it happens

Well the corsa is all built back up and running.........................
BUT
usual , my turbo oil feed pipe is buggered so awaiting another arriving to me tommorow or wednesday , also dropped off the cossie reg , so all in all should be back to my self on sat
New Spec so Far
C20 Let , Ph2 Chips , uprated actuator , xe inlet cam . z20 let steel head gasket , Brand New Geniune timing belt kit inc rollers etc , 10mm silicone ignition leads , iridium plugs , 2ltr 8v sump gasket , Cossie fuel pressure regulator , New oil filter , fresh oil , ANTI -FREEZE
so hopefully once the fuelling is set up correct and boost should have some good power and hopefully be sum fun for a while!!
