Gutted!

Update



Fitted all the suspension back together, will finish my rotors at work on monday.

Also cut bulkhead for M Tech power cap. And fitted all of the power steering parts.





It does look a mess at the moment be will all be sorted in time. New rocker cover will be found, bought, cleaned, painted and fitted soon hopefully!

Update

Cleaned up my rotors at work today. They have only worn to 23mm from 24mm so still plenty of life left in them. Got them fitted up then fitted my rather sexy calipers and pads. I think it's going to look boss behind the softstars.






Also sorted out my gear linkage and can get all gears. And OH MY GOD a quickshift is amazing, the shift just feels fantastic no play at all and the throw is about 40-50% of what it used to be. Highly recommended for all corsas!!!

Good progress sean
we'll have to get some pics together soon of the two cars

Although i will say, those pads are utter wank... Mine went in the bin as all they did was make more brake dust and fade loads under abuse i found standard mintex bads to be better, although i have some 1144's now.

Oh well that doesn't sound too good! Will give them a try for a few months, no hassle to change them.

Thanks DRS, it's getting crazy how much I want to drive it. Getting closer everyday!

Got my Oil pressure and Oil temperature gauges fitted and wired up



I'm dead pleased with them and the pillar pod is a perfect fit

Plugged in the wiring loom as well but got no pictures of that. Also did all of the wiring/ installation in the foot well, ECU is in place and looms are attached together via my 'twag' conversion loom.

A loom that the user 'twag' on here makes, one end plugs into the C20XE engine loom, the other straight into the 9pin corsa loom plug. Makes it dead easy!

Edit:



knew I had a picture of it!

Just had a good read of this thread, gauges look ace, how did you wire them up? did you use one of those sandwich plates?

Very clean and detailed work, nicely done
