As most of you know, I've thrown the towel in on my throttle bodied XE Corsa.
Today a nice man came round and took him away, since I've stripped in down.
I think he could of used a bigger truck, but hay. lmao

Fly by wire.


And this dirty Jap has taken his place.




My plans are just to tidy it up, and back to almost factory fresh.
I'm very impressed with how well it drives, everything still feels very tight.
But I do want to freshen up the suspenion, and bodywork.

New car looks spot on but does need a good clean by the looks of it.
Always had a thing for DC2's and wouldn't mind owning 1 some day.Prefer the UKDM cars too.

Its a shame they don't have the pace to match the way they handle though.

Yeah I also prefer the UK cars.

I had just washed it My main aim is to get the bodywork good, along with the suspenion, and brake back to factory fresh. It's not long had engine rebuild.

I think it's why they handle so well, it's so well balanced. But I know what you mean in a straight line my Corsa would of pissed on it.

The big test is Castle Combe next weekend.

I know he parked it out on the road, like miles away.

Best bit was when it came off the stands it dropped to the deck.

Thanks for the comments.
