This spec should give 160+ hopefully, the tourqe should be over 240ftlb which will help it shift
More power next year though

Thanks Steve, this won't ever be broken though lol.
Corsadonk is selling a beam at a very reasonable price. If I was to do it again though I would just bolt the stub axles to the B beam.
Yea should be at pvs

Not updated this in awhile.
Moving units again at the end of the month, this is just around the corner from my house though so there should be more updates.
Not really taken many pictures but the exhaust system is now complete





Had to get it rolling to get it onto the trailer.
So ive fitted my modified tie bars and lower arms, equal lenght driveshafts and hubs. Got my corsa vxr front calipers on with fiat coupe discs and got the wheels on.
Then pushed it outside to sample some fresh air

does the 17td turbo bolt straight onto the 15td engine or does it need modding?

bolts straight onto a 15td you just have to rotate the casing on the turbo to face up to fit onto your boost pipe

Don't mean to be rude but that exhaust looks a bit of a bodge? Surely your going to want to a get a proper piece made up for that section? Look forward to seeing it all done

Nah its just cut slithers to make a bend instead of buying bends in at £10+ a time. Will be alright for now, it would have been better to get it fabbed properly but i dont have the time or means to get it to an exhaust place
