But of an update on my dust collecting corsa b 9/3/15
Bought a new gearbox off one of my good friends tim - an electrical f28 with a quaife in it.
Just needed the f20 speedo ring and pickup fitting. Quick trip down to see Mr Beard at BNS autos and he fitted the speedo ring and pickup , I even bought a new bolt for the speedo pick up ha ha ha !
Can't thank beardy enough agaon for helping me out
So took it up to fit it, not going to lie I couldn't do it myself so I got my mate to give me a hand
Comparison of the old box and new box
The new f28 feels a much better box the gears are of easier to select and feel very definite
In it went
Scratched the casing which I'm gutted about so I'll be touching that up ... With some paint
Cracked on fitting the driveshafts, gear linkage clutch cable and subframe then called it a day, just need to mount the intercooler and its much closer to completion
Bit the bullet and ordered some new gauges , really like aem gauges so I bought some
An air fuel ratio one (wideband)
And an oil pressure one
Only got the oil pressure one today so I havnt fitted of yet
Bought a new steering wheel
And on, With gauge pod aswell
I've done a bit more elsewhere but no pictures

Ha ha I'll be pulling it out of the garage in 2020 to wash it and probably put it back
Jason thanks I'm a massive fan of it took me ages to find !
The sport seats in because im going to be driving it soon to test it , the bucket seats need the subframes adjusting and drilling to accommodate the new seats. Buckets will be going in though

Thanks guys had it on all four wheels today, filled the gearbox up with genuine vauxhall oil takes 1.8 litres if anyone needs to know , that's a proper vauxhall measurement aswell
Fitted two new track rod ends
Also two brand new vauxhall bottom ball joint bolts and nuts
Starting to look more like a car
