Hi all, thought i would get a project thread made up now that ive had the corsa about 2 weeks, sold the other one to get a 106 quiksilver as i fancied a change but drove like shit so got a corsa again

went for a 1.4 sport the same as my old one seeing as im used to that power
paid abit more than i wanted but with pretty good bodywork and 51000 miles i couldnt complain, all ive done so far is fit the cesaros off my old one, also bought a c20xe but wont be fitting that just yet seeing as im only 17 and insurance is a killer as it is, and before anyone asks how much the insurance is, its a fortune thats all im saying
pics of it standard havnt got no pics of it with the cesaros but im sure you all know what they look like




am trying to do a few things to it this week before the horseshoe pass meet, so will be some progress pics sunday night most probably to show you all how far i got on

comments welcome

horseshoe pass pics to show you the progress i made last week sorry the pics arent the best as they were taken on my phone and im shit at taking pics







as you will see the fronts sitting abit high because it was a rush job for the meet but the helper springs will be coming out when the weather starts to get abit better, the rears getting raised in the next couple of weeks for the MOT next month . thats most probably it now till after christmas when their will be some decent updates

update:

Due to the old exhaust looking bodged, thought it was time to get it changed for a nice new one, after much deciding, decided to go for a hoffman racetube and a peco stainless steel backbox, pics




peco backbox was a terribe fit tbh so had to do abit of work to get it right, but it was worth it for the rasp, already had people shaking their heads also fitted a punto rear wiper and a tigra scuttle


also raised it up a few threads on the rear coilovers for the MOT, which failed so needed abit of work to pass but all sorted now bought some vauxhall wind deflectors and rear strut brace off Darryl H also so will get some better pics of everything when they're fitted comments welcome

Love mine with a racetube. As loud ifnot louder than a Subaru at my work.

This car is fantastic. I'd run it a little lower and take the centre caps off the cesaros
