Welcome to my project thread. Car started out as a 1.2 8 valve. Came standard and had only covered 17,000 when I bought it.

it's been through a series of mods. Often things that were around at the time... 17"s... Why not?!
U

Then I got rid of them n sat it on astra gsi wheels in black and lowered it 60mm on Jamex springs. Later followed by Jamex shortened shocks because all the standard ones burst!

It stayed like this for a while until we could decide what to do with it! Then came along the E16SE Nova GTE Engine. 1.6 8 valve. It changed everything lol... Keep posted for pics

Just thought id add a few pictures to the first page

Wheels look awesome, like the conversion by the way. When i get bored of my 16v might go back to an 8 valve just bigger than a 1200 next time. Will be keeping an eye on this

Put an espace splitter on my post 97 and managed to slip in a cold airfeed just next to the rad. Just had to cut a 65mm hole through the slam panel.

It wasn't that bad tbf. If you take the regular splitter off there's a lip that goes right the way round the bottom of the bumper. If you try the splitter it sits too far forward so I took that lip off and used peel rivets to fix it. Not too awkward.

How much is your Corsa lowered by mate? I've been looking at getting Parada spec 2's on my Cesaro's but wasnt sure on how it would sit etc because they dont do them in 195/45's like my current tyres.

Car is lowered 60mm mate. If your worried about scrubbing? I think it would be ok but I grinded the lip off the rear arch. Gives you an extra 5mm or so. So if the correct offset wheels are used. Should tuck under nice. Hope this helps.
