Had another good day at Oulton at the weekend, was very busy but managed to get quite a few laps in though

Rear disc conversion was working great, need to have a look to what bias valves are fitted as It could do with a just a tad less.

Working on a master cylinder upgrade too

Got a few go faster bits in the pipeline now, and need to get some better tyres.

Was very busy what with a few problems with mine, but made the most of the afternoon and got a few long stints in. Just waiting to get vids off my mates go pro camera

Hi mate have you more pictures/details on how you did the harness plates with eyebolts? Have you got the spreader plates under the chassis and just riveted on? Or welded too?
I need to do it on mine but I thought I'd need to cut out a bigger hole than the eyebolt but you've got yours sitting flush with the chassis?

Hi mate glad you enjoyed the day too, not sure on the site for the pics, will have a look though.

Did your mate have to sign a form for the camera and did the marshal`s ask about it ?

Look forward to the vids if you can post them on here.

Hi, yeh the FIA spreader plates are under the tunnel, the rivets are just there to stop them falling off whilst you tighten the eye bolt up, they arent welded.

The rear ones are just screwed into the existing factory belt holes.

thanks mate, best way to do it

Fitted the phase 2 bits today:

Wallace VMAX Evo 2 Ecu
Regal enlarged tophat
68mm throttle body
Late type big bore inlet manifold
Bailey dump valve
NGK BCP7EVX plugs




need to check it with a wideband then up the fuel pressure to 3.5 bar and wind the boost up to about 1 bar

Will be fitting the ARP rod bolts when I find a replacement sump.

Can you please tell me something about rear suspension? I've never seen coaxial springs on rear absorbers fitted on a corsa...

Hi, they are a coilover setup that does away with the separate spring and damper type.

Allow you to adjust the ride height alot more accurately.
