Here we have the Corsa B GSi 1993...

Spec:
C16XE
4-2-1 Race Manifold
Gloss Black Morrettes/Roof
Full GSi Bodykit
GSi Fans wheels in gloss black with red pin strip
Astra 2L Front Brake Upgrade
Full Leather Calibra Interior
DVD Headunit
Lowers 60mm all round on G-Max Shocks

Plans:
Another C16XE...
Upgrade most internals
New exhaust system with 3" tailpipe
Fix Speedo
Toad Alarm
Spax Coilovers
Alessi Speedlines in Gloss black

Possibly turbo the c16, but not decided yet! Need to check the money situation as i've drawn myself into a little bit of debt! So plans are just to be N/A with a c16/x16

*UPDATE*

Today i decided to fix the speedo, so off i went to fetch myself one and started on the job when i got home



Jacking up the GSi made me think it might roll over? haha!







My mate getting in on the work, he told me not to get a picture of his face and he wants to be known as the stig?! oh well! hes a top lad and always gives me a helping hand!



...and the reason it wasn't working There is no cable!



All sorted and done and dusted, working bob on! I also changed over the pollen filter as it was black! && i've started to take off the red trim on the wheels as its really not to my taste!


More updates soon

A few updates for today:

- New spark plugs

- Put in the extra light in the morrette and modified it so that it is now the indicator instead of the useless square blocks provided! Had to modify and solder the loom to neaten things up and have the indicators working!

Pictures to come of the indicators working!

Updates to come:

- New inner CV boot on passenger side.
- Re-clip the brake line running from the ABS to the rear. (So it doesn't split the inner CV Boot again!)
- Add the drivers side pretensioner.

Just a small update!

Got the inside morrettes modified to be the indicators and also realised new side lights would be ideal!

Had these delivered this morning



New side lights and an Inner CV boot Also had a belt pre-tensioner but forgotten to take pictures of that lol

Got underway on changing this CV boot, everything went smoothly

few pictures:











Now i have an issue. This light is constantly on my dash but i dnt know what it its...i thought it was handbrake, but when i put the handbrake down it stays on? Also when booting it up it starts fine, but when cold it revs really lumpy and drives awful too. Not a smooth rev curve. Then when its warm its ok-ish. Not perfect but ok... any clues?
