Been on here for a while now so decided its about time i made one of these .
After the much regreted sale of my 306 i decided it was time for another corsa (number 3)
306 (May not be everyones taste)
Bought this in january 2010
So now was the task of putting in some personal toutches
spec when bought
2litre 8 valve engine
56k on shell  with all mots
softstars
coilovers
pollybushed all round
goodridge hoses
full m-tech conversion kit
First thing was to get shot of the standard 1.6 exhaust , picked up a sebring oval with racetube to ad a bit of noise
A set of dealership plates to tidy it up
With a bit of good weather decided to give it a wash and take a few pics
De-badged grille
Was bored one saturday so decided to take a trip to the local scrap yard to try find some goodies . To my surprise there was a polish corsa fresh in so i was first to get tore in . managed to pick myself up these
Opel First Aid Kit
Opel Breakdown triangle
Fast and modified car show was fast approaching so got myself some new plates, plate surrounds, h/lights, tail lights, mk4 astra smoked side repeaters and some irmscher badges. A full day machine polishing never done no harm either. Then it was off to jn developments for a full 2" custom stainless exhaust with 3" outward rolled tailpipe
Another polish then show time
Some time passed with nothing exciting happening then picked myself up a irmscher splitter .Prep'd sprayed and fitted
Bought this back in august
After a short time it the spray booth turned out like this
... And after some very tight installing looked like this
Since buying the car i have also put on ;
Piper x filter
4 Branch manifold
courtenay sport chipped ecu
Kent cam
Hope i havent bored anyone, all comments welcome
cheers
