With a huge dollop of TLC from MattB, 1800ed and myself the Thunder Turbo Corsa is getting back to its former AP Racing glory...
latest things that have been sorted :
Cobra Sidewinder front seats
Alternator fully secured now
New Battery
Found where the oil leak is from.. thank god its NOT the sump.. just some stupid pipe.. so that part has been ordered and is winging its way to me
New vacum hose to the dump valve (old one was splitting)
and it does feel a little quicker (dunno why tho)
so there are just a few more things to get done and it will be time to start tarting up the engine bay (chrome and colour coded style)
Then it will be back to Power Engineering to get a R/R session in so that they can sort out the over fueling problem (its a little rich)
Then some other little touches to the bodywork and it will be finished
Just some more time and money, hope to have it finished by Feb/Mar next year
and a couple of pics for the hell of it :
This is an old pic of the engine bay.. It now has the bettery, bailey header tank and looks generally cleaner

The log book has finally been sent off after i dont know how long.. so it will come back saying "Blue and White"
No luck with snowy yet either but i am going to EBay it next week, so i might have more luck there.....
corsa-crazy.. i know what you mean mate, im starting to go off the wheels and rear lights too.. might be getting some clears or standard rear lights then dust them over with the same blue
as for wheels, im gonna get my blaggin hat on, and see if i can scoop some rimz from somewhere

Anup (the guy who i bought it off) Killed an M3 up the motorway, was still going when the M3 hit its 155mhp limit
so this means the car will do 155 already
so why not now
£50 fine english pounds, i will sort out for some time to come with GPS
we have a bet?
WHY NOT NOW...
Bcos, anups brother (who i bought it off) cut the diagnostic socket off when he had the alarm removed and it needs a retuned BAD.. cos its only running 230bhp.. and it should be running at least 260bhp..
plus im only going by what HE said i have only owned the car for 3 weeks So there
thats my Hotel payed for
