Well, new project time

Bought this 1999 S reg corsa from arbroath:

Goes well, loving being back to vauxhall

So, soon as I got home I got a badgeless grille ordered, and fitted:

Also ordered coilovers, which should be here tomorrow, so it il be decked on 14"s for a while untill I sell my 306, then I can buy decent wheels

No many plans for the exterior:

Lower it - Done - Janspeed Coilovers
Wheels - Done -Speedlines
Depos
And a general tidy up, get rid of little bits of rust etc.

Engine I have a good bit planned for:

Filter - Pipercross XL - Fitted
Inlet (Lexmaul ideally) - Fitted

Full stainless exhaust
Chip of some veriety
Cams possible at some point.

So thats it for now, will keep this updated as I get new bits

Dont think you can get chips for our sports Chris, thats why im selling my chip.

Early ecu's have an inspection cover, under which the chip goes.

Later ecu's dont have an inspection cover and even if you take it apart there is no pins for a chip.

Car looks nice though, nice colour too

Quite a big update

306 is sold, so will be buying many bits soon, cant wait

Got the coilovers on, tad too low at the front, will leave it till I get new wheels and see how it looks, then raise/lower to suit.

Janspeed jobbies

Finding them far too hard atm, car skips all over the road when my right foot is heavy, going to raise the front and get the tracking done, then see how it is.

Big update

Coilovers have been rasied a little, and had the tracking done, brilliant handling now.

Also bought some new mudflaps which have yet to be fitted, and have a lexmaul inlet on the way, along with a pipercross filter

Need wheels now
