Good to see you back Nic.
One question though - that hose from the air filter - does it collapse at all under vacuum? Doesn't look particularly sturdy, that's all.

Nic what are you using the SBD inlet mani and TBs, then just a custom back plate and trumpets which mount onto the Pulsar plenum? Would love to see what difference it makes to throttle response.
Also where did you get the baffled sump plates from?
Cheers
yep exactly that. jenvey inlet and tb's, small trumpets, blacking plate then pulsar plenum on the back of it.
baffled sump was made by a mate of mine. was copied from a photo i found on migweb.
Ah sweet, keep looking at TBs thinking if I should do the same, im not after peak power, just drivability and quick throttle response for track work.
Dont suppose your mate wants to make another? You on z20let oil pump? Noticed much presure drop running the squirters?
Sorry for all the questions, im about to send my bottom end off for machining and balancing and want to get the last little bits now before it goes if it needs it

Treated the high powered corsa c to an oil change as it hasn't been done or at least stamped since 2006.
First modification for the corsa c
Got some bass as well.
The power plant. Oh it's fast.

got some 205/45/16 pirelli runners as 2 of the tyres had a flat spot in them, which i did in 2001 when the wheels where on my old nova. decade ago plimsole. i dont think they will catch although they are a 45 offset with the 205's on the front. arch really needs sorted on the passenger side front. been like that for over a year and ive just never bothered.
the mo's im gonna send off to pristine for a re-furb through work. hopefully wont cost too much.

Yep should be. Looks odd on silver wheels. Hopefully have the mo's back by then.

I will get a better picture today in the Cumbrian sun. I kinda like them. Although they are the wheels from my nova back in 2000 so perhaps it's more of memories of my first car that I like them.

Corrado still sat there I see. What are the plans for that
I think your wheels look fine mate. You don't need pretty with 500bhp
