few goodies turned up today

new fuel can for mixing the race fuel

more fluids

and got it all back up and running

few jobs left , droped the oil on it today going to do another 2 changes as my mate has robed me some cheap oil from his work so gna make sure all the coolant is out the oil system , there is still oil residue left in the water system as i never drained it fully so need to do that , cracked one of the spark plugs today so need to go get a new one as had to throw a old one and its running a bit lumpy , got a leak from the sump ffs

so need to look into that and need to go pick my flywheel cover up of greg as dont want the leaking oil to get into the gearbox and fuck the clutch up

Good stuff Ben! Hopefully you will get all these niggles sorted quickly! You must never grow tired of a mention in tv as they have just said it is one of the best examples of a ground breaking "b"!

its not just the case of buy a clutch and get it back out , its trying to find a clutch company that will do a clutch that will take my power/torque, as most wont , plus the engine has a oil leak so its engine out again and have every surface skimed so it doesent leak , but its not just the money on it , i dont have the time to spend on it and i just dont want to atm

Could you get sponsors for this Ben? The car is known "Everywhere" and I'm sure manufactures would give parts to advertise on the car.

It has to be one of the best if not the best IMO corsa b's going, the fit an finish of everything is exceptional !

And the thing is you've made it known and got it up to the standard it is now off your own back so i would say now relax and take sponsors

been wating to move into my new unit with my mate who works in vauxhall(so thats all there stock doing walkies) and moved in yesterday , have found some more love for the corsa since having time away

problems with it is the clutch is slipping at only 2k and i think oil has got onto it causing it to slip, engine is still leaking oil, and also when fitting the manifold last time, it snapped a corner of the ally of so that needs addressing , so plan is to get a decent clutch sorted , have the block/girdle plate skimmed and a new sump from vauxhall so it cant leak, then have the corner bit on the head welded and rebuild with new gaskets so i can have another go at the 9 sec pass, will prob have it done before christmas but it wont be out till next year so no rush , will prob put it back on the road this time to bet the new parts in
