Update:
Well after a month and some silly amounts of fucking around, I finally received my Roose breathers. I ordered them from FST motorsport who had a huge back log. After abit of a push via email, I received them last Friday only to find they sent me BLUE Turbo coolant hoses :@ Not want I want so I called them and they assured me a phone call the day after. Heard nothing. Threatened them with negative feedback and a dispute and I had a call Monday. Apparently they called me, I answered the phone and said OK to everything but I never. Strange story but basically FST automotive are a bunch of useless, lying cowboys. AVOID THEM!
Anyway rant over here they are:
The car is going back into the bodyshop Monday to have some minor repairs done to side skirt that got scratched when it flew off in a puddle! Then back up to Bailey Motorsport to try and push this power out after I have fitted new Cossie 2wd FPR. Hopefully done for PVS and I can stop putting Dougie off 
Cheers!!!!

Cheers lads. Yeh I wish I would of now but I was watching them for a while on ebay and on the auction it said 'fast next day delivery' Only until they took the money did I get an email saying they're going to be 2 weeks. Not happy but in future I will be going direct!
The car is going into bodyshop Monday so once its back, I will wack them on

Update:
So the Corsa went into the bodyshop Monday to have a few things touched up before the mag shoot. I know Rob well and he knows my car well and its pretty much the only place I leave it with. However, he left the fuel pump on overnight and now we're having trouble starting it so either the pump has burnt out, the reg has gone or the plugs have gone.
I checked the plugs and they were totally caked black obviously from all the times its been forced to try and turn over. Also the plug clips on the leads keep coming loose. Therefor I have got a new set of leads:
I will be trying them tomorrow as Rob foked off to Scotland so cant get in till tomorrow. The car was supposed to be going back to Bailey performance yesturday but obviously couldnt go. Dissapointed is not the word.
Maybe I'll get chance to fit this new Cossie reg soon?
It'll get sorted soon though. Just a minor blip.
Oh yeh, and the car is sold.

I've got various reasons for selling. Basically I built the car as a project car and had a Total Vauxhall feature as my aim. I have recently moved out so need to start thinking about other things to spend my money on as the car will always cost me money and I cant afford to run two cars anymore. I have done what i want I want to do with the car and its time for me to move onto something more practical as Im sick of driving my Metro.
Dont wanna sell it because its my pride and joy but I need to do the right thing and be realistic

Part of the reason why I'll never get a car resprayed as I won't want to use it everyday like I did my Corsa Turbo or my Vectra Turbo. Shame to sell, just hope the new owner looks after it properly.

Yeh I mean I have spent a small fortune on this car getting it looking the way it does. Best thing I ever did was buy a run around so I can focus on the project without worrying about running cost, practicality, comfort etc. The lad who is having it is a sound lad and I know he will look after it. I wouldnt let it go to a rough c*nt.

That's a fair reason! I agree about it being nice having a second car, but needs must, house is for life.
