I think corsa's look so much better with a spoiler.

Find yourself some MHW's too

Thanks for the comments lads! Yeah the front end looks way too high at the moment but i rekon it will sit alot lower once the redtops fitted as it will weigh a lot more!
Thanks all for the advice on the spoiler but atm im liking it with out, as i said in a post a few weeks back, i MIGHT consider a mint gsi kit so il be getting a spoiler then if i do end up getting 1.

Finally got round to doing some work to the engine. Thought id change the cambelt n walterpump for peace of mind, although it has just had a rebuild but no proof

Firstly, got a new plug cover off lil_g. Its broken n isnt exactly mint lol.. but it will do untill i find a proper chrome 1 with the writing on..







Ive just whipped the belt n cam cover off atm, ready for the new parts on the weekend. I couldnt get the crankshaft pulley off though :S Usually its held on by 6 tourqes bolts. but its held on by 6 13mm bolts.. n i cant get a socket onto them because the bolts are to close to the wall of the pulley :S Guess il have to try an open ended spanner on it :S lol Any ideas how to get the off if theyre F tight ? lol
Need to get a new tensioner bolt aswell cos this 1 is funked getting one made up for me tomorrow because vaux dealer no longer service the part which is gaaaash.




Will get more pics on the weekend once ive got some parts, also orderd new gaskets and manifold studs and nuts
