first day march 08: brought my new corsa 1.2 8v spin 1996 n reg, full service history, years mot, 1 lady owner, from a garage, just been serviced and only had 56k on it. for £1200 i know it was quite deer but my 1st car blew up within first 2 months cos it was modified so had to buy this 1 standard and low mileage and not been ragged so it wouldnt blow up, so i brought this 1 from a Bristol garage:
Then after a couple of days i started to get annoyed with driving a standard car so started looking for some alloys, then managed to find some off a m8, 16's just been refurbed and brand new tyres, and they were cheap, but had 205/50/r16's on but they were only £60 so couldnt lose out, got home fitted them up: n f**kin hell, monster truck it was:
was funny going offroading though lol.
Then had my brand new jamex 40mm front and rear shocks and springs come through the door and noway was i going to lower that, so started looking for some new alloys, and managed to find some more cheap 1s with brand new tyres, off a mate again, who just wrote his corsa off so was selling everything, did him an offer for my steelies and abit of cash for his ripspeed(shit) wheels and pipercross, next day fitted the shocks and springs and alloys:
liked the look of that abit more than the other wheels, so left it like this for abit.
Then PVS 08 weekend arrives, and thought ill take my car up but knew id get laughed at with my ripspeeds, so got the good old black marker pen out and away goes the ripspeed badge  , then fitted my front calibra leathers which i got from scrappy. so me and jack (unionjack30) drove upto santapod on the friday, took us about 3.5 hours to get there including stops, set up our camping and camped the weekend:
 .
couple of weeks on after looking for bits, managed to buy some black angel eyes off ebay, and got them fitted as soon as they arrived:
new pics will be coming up soon of what it looks like now with new bits off dan

Irmscher rear lights ---> 
Did you adjust the coilovers at all Daz or just put them on how they were set?
If so its sitting about 70mm / 75mm Front and 60mm Rear
I have high hopes for this, going to be a tidy wee corsa some quality parts and ideas going into it already

cheers m8, and when you had the coilovers on, they were only lowered about 20mm lol, so ive took them all the way down and we reckon it is about 90mm cos back is 60 and it is well more than them.
