Well I totally forgot about renewing my premium until now so my old project thread has lost all its pictures.. Kinda annoying but I spose I'll start again

Firstly as some of you may remember it, this is my flame red corsa..

Had a couple of things done to it already ie;
Full respray
15" Irmscher Softstars
lowered 40mm





Then got to work taking parts off my old arden and putting everything on the red one.



Cav slabs, Steinmetz grill, smoked Depos, astra GTE steering wheel, and Irmscher interior parts were put on.









Arches painted and Sported oval backbox fitted



Last pic before GSi bumper was put on



GSi seats





Then Speedlines and GSi front fitted, lowered 60mm rear







That pretty much summarises what the flame reds been through

Now for yesterdays purchase which will either be a donor car, or a project/toy that ill use in the summer when its running smooth..

Black sport with 20XE in, lowered 80-110mm, full stainless exhaust (very loud) , Vectra LS wheels and few other mods, I got this quite cheap its not running properly atm but hoping to have it on the road by summer..











I'm baaaaaaaack

That black one looks a bit rough

No doubt whatever it ends up as it'll be good knowing you

So done a couple of things to try get the redtop running right the last couple weeks, changed the spark plugs, ICV, started it up and left it running for about 5 mins, thought we'd fixed it but turns out if you slowly put your foot on the accelerator it will rev past 5k without popping and spitting flames, so we were quite confused

So we thought we'd take the exhaust off and take a look and turns out theres a massive split before the lambda sensor, managed to get a standard good condition manifold from VBOA yesterday so hoping it cures it! Also ordered a new TCS as mine was in a very bad way, fingers crossed after we change them both saturday it runs smooth!
