Right then people i know its been a long time but im back on the case with the corsa , been working away and that so been to tired to touch it rele.
Its all legal and on the road now, eshaust is being done 2morro, definatly this time lol.
It seems to be missing on high boost thow been told this could be the lambda sensor but with the exhaust blowing the way it is could cause the reading to be false hence messing up the running. Does this sound about right, any 1 had troubles like this before? Il find out 2 morro i gues once the exhaust is sorted.
The only other prob i got with it is the petrol guage, found out this is just the aftermarket dial covers has pealed slighty and rubbing aganst the needle therfore not going up past the red, easy fix once i get time in the light
Any way heres some nice piks of it now, the front will be dropped more once the eshaust clearence is sorted and want 100mm springs for the rear at a later date too.
Il get some piks up of the eshaust once its all done .

Cheers all for the kind words and thanks also andy,
Well the car went to sheffield on saturday. Exhausts uk did the exhaust there for me and im really happy with the job, great work and definatly recomended. I had my polo exhaust done there too
Here she is on the ramp before work began
The system installed was: 2.5" stainless steal from turbo back.
Fitted with a flexi joint, midbox, rear box and 3" outward rolled tailpipe
Cost £370 all in which im happy with as the job is spot on.
Heres a quick pik from the rear
The missing is still not sorted however ive found out that its the positive to the coil shorting accross to the lead outlet, Will be shortly buying new leads, dizzy, rotor arm soon though as its had plugs the other week. Also as ive gone so mad with it so far im also gona replace the hydralic tappets and stem seals as its slighty tappy on a cold start.
The car is not being used yet cus still a few bits to sort, the tax runs out at the end of the month so il tax it agen once its all sorted.
Getting there with it now thow didnt think id ever be this thorough with it but i want it right

Make sure your spark plugs are set at the correct gap. Incorrectly gapped plugs caused my car to miss on boost
