Hi everyone!
I am new here, and i am norwegian, so the english may not be the best.
I just wanted to share som info and pics of my corsa b c20let project.
The car is an 94 model originaly with 1.4 8v, that bekame mine in 98.
I had it stock for some years but eveyualy the mods had to come.
started with vectra 2.0 16v brakes and koni coilovers, then came rear disk braks. whn the 1.4 finaly gave up life it was time for what has now taken 3 years (i know i am slow), and alot of £££....c20let
the engine is stock with ARP conrod bolts, Gearbox is an F28 6 speed from a calibra turbo with Quafe lsd and speedo correction kit, Front brakes are from Clibra turbo, and rear aksel is prepared for disc barkes by EDS in germany with vectra 2.0 16v brakes. The convertioan is done with an M-tech kit, its got an EDS intercooler kit, Mtech 2.5" stainless exhaust, M-tech radiator, M-Tech shortshift, all poly bushes, 15"x6" Compomotive MO 5 spoke and 19-50-15 Goodyear Eagle F1. I also have the M-Tech info display unit. (just couldent resist this gadget)
these are the old wheels 16" Rial LeMans
The intercooler is now black for a "stelthy" look
Pics are old, but not to much has happened since then. Changes are new wheels, and the exhaust was missing on the pics.
Found some pics on my phone aswell, from fitting the big M-Tech radiator last summer.
Had it on the roling road last summer and it managed 216hp 335 nm with original ecu.
Plans for the car in the future is to get it road legal this spring (this is no small matter i norway as we dont have TÜv or SVA or anyone sane to do this), but hopes are high it will get approved in the end.
it will get EDS Phase 3.5, and will be be resprayed in Electron blue (colour stolen from corvette)
please take no notice of the old people, the colour is the importent bit.
Thanks for a great site, and please post qustions/ comments!!
Regards
Ċsmund

Welcome Asmund! Car sounds great, you don't happen to know of someone who calls himself kiv_tuning do you?
He has a black LET corsa, crazy engine, also from Norway if I remember correctly...

Bergen is on the coast, right?
You could bring this car over for shows this summer? 27 hours on the ferry

Yupp! should be possible to pop over for a weekend yes
The car is more like a sleeper then a show car now, (going for the grannydriver look) and i think i like it best that way. The looks you get when flying past Audis and BMWs are priseless!!
