So the story starts when i bought the corsa b off my friend for £200 knowing full well engine wasnt going to last long however for the price i couldnt complain it came with:-
-Tinted windows
-Clifford alarm
-Black cav slabs
-Cd player
-60mm springs all round
The outside was ok apart from a dented wing which still needs changing. after a few weeks of owning the car i bought some coilovers off ebay which went on couple days after purchase the rears dont have the adjusters in so its as low as it can go and i would say front is about 60-80mm and my slabs are sitting a little in the arches front and back. My main reason for putting the coilovers on were that the shocks had gone from having the lowering springs on and made the car very bouncy so i wanted a more stiff ride to make it more comfortable.
Few weeks ago the engine went so i started my hunt for a c20xe engine finally found one which is coming today also got the exhaust system (2" decat) drive shafts, calibra brakes f20 gearbox which came with engine so im set.
Engine is going in in the next week or so being done by a friend. after this ive got my subs to fit which are 2 15" square kickers powered by a kicker amp got one of my friends to build a box but after little while will be getting a boot build made up.

Things to do:-
-Badboy bonnet
-Angel eyes or morrettes (opinions welcome)
new alloys or maybe keep cavs (yet again opinions welcome)
new interior (unsure what yet)
new cd player

I will add pictures later on of the sub box subs amp engine and car etc

Thanks for reading and hope to be updating soon.
