Right then people i fancied doing something a lil different this year as my track 'b' is prob not going to be seeing much road action now.

Since having a Corsa b let ive missed boost so found and bought this:





I bought it quite cheap though as a fair bit of tidying up is required but the main thing is the Z20 LET conversion has been done and its all in and running sweet so the hard work is done.

Firstly the car has been into a ditch or something as the rear quarter is damaged and skirt and front arch trim missing, il get a bodyshop to sort this out soon.







Oh and seccondly the previous owner ripped out and sold the full leather trim and is just generally in a mess so alot to do in here too, just chucked a seat in to drive the car onto my trailer when i collected it.



So the work begined, firstly i fitted a boost guage in the heater vent and wired it all up to my headunit power supply.





Then i decided to refirb the standard Sri wheels myself as i had some time on my hands lol



Also took off the cam cover so i could paint that up



While i was in the engine bay i had a good clean up, tied up any loose wires, hoses etc and stipped out any un wanted shite, such as these unused air con pipes.



Bought a new set of plugs,



And heres the wheels and cam cover painted up, all in silver to keep it looking OEM



Thats all for now theres still loads to do before im happy with the car, got a few bits on the way to me too so should see more progress soon

Thanks for looking

Cheers John-d I was given the boost guage so I will be changing it at some point.

Dave Sri the intake pipe was just off eBay don't think he's got any more, tx autosport is the place for stuff like that though mate.

More progress to report

8000k xenon kit and tax purchased.



This is the half leather interior i picked up, have rear seats also.



Just the fronts fitted for now, and all cleaned up.



So then she was legal to go out on the road, heres a few cleaned up pics (of the decent side )









Thats all for now, just enjoying it out on the road

Theres a few knocks and bumps up front so ive looked into them, ordered 2 front drop links, 2 track rod ends and a front engine mount with poly bush. That should cure the knocking
