just thought id start a thread with my corsa b. so it sarted off life as a 1.7 diesel that has been well maintained for last 12 ish years, only done 105000miles the man said, so i bought it cheap as chips on friday. i also named it cherry haha.
i bought it home and had a think what to do should i leave it standard of play with it ???
it took me about 3 seconds to think low and slow. i went to work on the saturday and had a look in the back room as thats where all my and my friends corsa spares are, there was a set of fk coilovers we took off because one of the shockers had slight play, so imediatly i thought there goin on, i also found a magnex back box so that had to be fitted aswell.
i have lowered it as much as i can all round, just untill it doesnt bottom out on the shockers, looks frickin stupidly low but as my friend said BE RATE. i got the machine polisher out on it today to take it from pinky to cherry as my boss was taking the pizzle saying it looked like used tampon haha heres somne pics
heres some pictured

got it in the workshop today and took the top inlet off to see how badly clogged up it wasup it was, was fookin thickso took the inlt completely off and cleaned it out, also chopped the baffle out the top par of the inlet and bypassed the egr valve by welding a bolt in the pipe. whilst there turned the pump up slightly, about a quarter of a turn.
took it for a test dirve and what a difference, doesnt smoke one bit (had a friend follow me to check)
