Cleaned the boat so thought i'd take some pics.

Had nothing but trouble with the car since i bought it a couple of months ago, Spent around £6-700 on engine parts as the head was porous! So its had new head gasket, cambelt, rollers, water pump, radiator, thermostat, CTS, plugs, rocker cover gasket, porous head fixed, fan switch. Think thats about it

all was bought from vauxhall too

Now its running sweet as...nearly

got two ecu faults, nothing major. sooo much comfier than the corsa was, much better car.

Anyway heres the pics.

thanks

They're quick cars, but you dont feel like your going very fast when your in one as they're big and comfy.

Will more than likely be up for sale once i get the two faults sorted out.

very nice!
like them headlights
think they would look good on mine but im thinking of selling her again
dont lower it without the camber kit on the rear
or say bye bye to your tyres!
I fitted some rear mud flaps to make it appear lower lol
its on irmscher suspension from factory about 20mm lower than a standard turbo
what fault codes do u have mate?

not a problem on mine
its got a sports transfer box
perm 50/50 split
makes a hell of a difference
but not heard any problems with a standard t box and the correct camber on the rear
as long as a t box is looked after it will be fine
I would recommend changing the accumaltor bulb as this is the cause of the transfer box blowing the main seal

accumulator bulb is easy to do mate
whats wrong with the turbo?
mine smoked a little from start up but it wasnt the turbo it was the valve stem seals that had gone
my cav turbo prop was well siezed too when I fitted a new t box to that
also the joint going into the t box was mashed!

the joint on the prop i got 2nd hand look worn,
turbo had oil in it when removed so would rather it stripped and checked before fitting it

im atm fixing a fiat cinq then when thats fixed and sold im gonna use the money from that into the cally
