They are the corsa c one is adjustable and the corsa b and c beams are the same the only diffrence being the handbrake cable brackets so they are interchangeable

early morning start for me today, not good when i only got in bed at 1.30

drove down the other end of the country to waren gs to sort out the codes

turns out the boost code was because i counted the wrong pin and the fan wasent kicking in as i had the wrong wire but he sorted it
then of to tx autosport for a custom map


when i got there they were having problems connecting the laptop to they dyno they tried for 3 hours but no luck, typical the techinal halp place is in aus and it was 3 am there so no luck , they were great tho offered to pay for a hotel for the night for me as it was such a long way home, in the end he put a base map on it so i can drive it down on the vxr injectors and afm, and he is also knocking quite a bit of the cost of the map to cover my fuel again so cant fault that , hes going to ring me hopefully tomorow to say its all sorted and i can get back there in the next week
total milage for today

Bloody hell that's a fair old drive!
They seem decent enough. At least you have more confidence in it after putting that kind of mileage on it
