cars looking good
just got my self another corsa c sxi, driven it about 100miles then started pulling it to bit replacing worn parts getting ready for more power
standard 1.2 discs are 256mm vented on sxi or abs models. best thing about sri 280mm brakes is that you can get mintex or ferodo upgrade pads easy

I didn't know sri brakes were 280mm! I might be able to use the sri discs with these new callipers (as long as the width is the same)
Thanks for that info
I'm hoping to get more power soon, I had a scan through your thread you don't mess about

I work for HiSpec and if you get the discs from a MK5 Astra they should be a direct fit. For some reason before I worked here they took the 5 stud disc and re-drilled it to 4 stud .... but the 4 stud disc is exactly the same from a 1.3 life or similar.

And we keep Ferodo and Mintex pads in stock available on a next day delivery

Didn't realise how long I havnt updated this for

I fitted the de cat was far too loud sounded like a Honda

So I put the standard car back on.

Havnt really modified it any more
I fitted my new cesaros the other day (bought them for my Corsa b turbo but as some will know the engine gave up)
So the c now sports cesaros with Toyo t1r proxies on
Anyway I'm using it for pvs this weekend so I gave it a good clean.....














I bought a Corsa c to split a couple of weeks ago I was stripping it the other day to sell the door cards and noticed these bad boys



So out with the old in with the kenwoods



Couple more finished shots

Like the silver Cesaro's thinking of changing the colour of mine

How come you want these for the B what's happening to the alessio's?

Update for once

Drivers side strut started knocking I thought it was the top mount. Upon removing the strut and inspecting it I found that all the fluid from the damper had leaked out. Time for the bin
Got some new FK Coilovers much much better quality
I replaced both drop links and track rods whilst I was there



Comparison of the two



Wound them down pretty low



Wheels need a clean




First thing I did was get it tracked




Got a firm and soft setting on the top of the Coilovers
I went for firm and it is trust me ha ha
