[dinglec20xe]

time to spend ages making the build thread on my corsa, please bare with me!

the car currently is a 1.2 8v shell with the 1.4 sport engine in it, its still running the 1.2 gearbox (rapid as hell for a 1.4).

spec:
fully stripped
lexan polycarbs (boot and both rear windows)
1.4 16v running 1.2 8v gearbox
calibra leathers
14" steelies with yokohama A539s all round
full front coilovers lowered 120mm
shortened rear shocks with 80mm springs with 2 cut coils
straight through centre exhaust and decat
flamer kit!
cotton green air filter






and on to the redtop
fully stripped to be rebuilt by myself it came with a courtney sport 'group n' chipped ecu

acid dipped and painted with new core plugs (has been painted red now)



before honing


after honing


then these turned up


main bearings/crank in



pistons in


inlet manifold and fuel rail back from paint
