Alright mate. If your talking about the GSi panels then i sold them to make some money for the new panels.

There isn't really any need to use them on the 1.0 ltr shell but since it's getting painted and i've got them, might aswell use them.

Alright guys,

Almost ready to fit the engine, however i'm not sure on what mounts i'm needing.

I've got the mounts to fit both the C20LET and F28 from the Gsi shell but i'm lead to believe i have now a 'type 2' shell. Do i need all new mounts?

Cheers.

How's it going bud

I notice u have GAZ coilovers.what do u think of them?
I have a full set in my 1.2 corsa and to be honest I think the driving is shocking.she just bounces so,so much and its abit dangerous.any bump I hit she'll bounce like mad and tug to either side of the road and I have to correct her...

Anyway what I wana get at is are u able to stiffin up the coilovers.i got a little nozzel with a - and + sign and I was wondering has that something to do with stiffing the suspension

Be brilliant if u could help me out thanks

Nath that is how you adjust the hardness of the ride mate . I guess if you turn in more to the + it will stiffen it up and make it less bouncy !

Not having a dig but all that spending and intentions of a high spec car but nankang tyres is a massive fail imo.

Corsa turbos have hard time trying to get grip and corner on good tyres let alone cheap budgets.

As for the mounts situations, you don't need new ones.

Mieran - Your right. They do struggle with grip. I've tried many tyres on both my Turbos. All of which spun up on boost and as far as cornering, the nankangs hold up fine. I'm not willing to drive round on a day to day basis with 888's or alike and don't see the point in spending £££ on Goodyears etc..when in my opinion will perform just the same.

SCOTTY.1 - Nice one. Cheers.

I'm sorry but no amount of Michelin's or Yoko's will make a Corsa Turbo handle well
