Here it goes again, im back in here again :-/
My last and first project wasnt good at all, well it was my first and i wa doing all on my own so i try to do my best with limited money fund lol, anyway the 1.2 16v corsa b was smashed after a women didnt wait for me to pass while i was driving straight ... never mind , still got parts for sale from it ..

SO i saw i nice corsa b 1.6 16v for sale and decide to go and buy it .... well i didnt expect much , i wait for the guy about 4 hours in his town, was raining cos it was a big mis understanding but after i found out that the waiting was worth alot, i bought an amazing W reg corsa b 1.6 16v, its a very very good condition for corsa b's models...
So here it goes ...

- It was very very dirty inside, floor, mats, dog hair, its all cleaned , all washed... engine washed, will post photos soon ...

1) ORdered some blue pre-wired LEDs from ebay cos most of the illumination on the dash not working and will do it properly ..
2) BUyin a paint soon to re-paint the black wheels plus paining the calipers ...
3) DONE - Installing my 6x9 Infiny on the parcel chels + puting the amp on it too, done it today ...

many pictures too soon

195/45/16 but i do believe that if i put 185 45 16 in the back they will fit good and wont touch the arch plastics :-/

STart testing 2 kinds of Plastic primer, start painting the 2 piece plastic where the wiper blades are and the door plastics too, will see how the come out (im paiting the plastics from my old corsa 1.2 16v just dont wanna ruin the original ones yet cos not sure how they will be good or shit lol

45s will be too big
youll struggle to get 185 16s

the offset is way off what it should be expect issues and make sure your rear end is stiff or youll scrap all the time

i dont know how disc conversion effects the track,

depepends how low you go, if you go 60mm down the archs should sit just abouve the tyre

where as 80 like mine and the tyre is in the arce and i cant fit a finger in the gap, i essentially have a stripped rear end aswell
