1999 Corsa Envoy 1L

Post by LSKSK »

So this one is going to be a very long one because i'm a student but i'm determined to get it looking good and proper, so to date, i've:

Replaced mass air flow - Other one was buggered.
New air filter - not brilliant, got it for free from a mate but it's helped a lot
New Discs and pads
Painted calippers red
and got most of my sound set up with Infinity 6x9's and alpine door speakers
Bass bin is next on the agenda and alloy's

Image

I'll upload more pics when i get stuff done

So been a while because i haven't actually done anything to it in a while
But now I've lowered it, cambered the back a little and got some corsa c sxi alloys sprayed black
Next is to add a bb bonnet and smooth boot
Also want to do something ridiculous to it that makes it a little unique but no ideas yet so any recommendations welcome

P.S sorry if the photos are wrong, I did it on the Tapatalk app.

Also forgot to mention i had a bit of a bump a few months back and only just realised i still have photos

Its all fixed now thanks to c16secorsa and the help he gave.

I also ground down the exhaust hangers on the body as they were rubbing on the back box since whoever put it on before i had the car decided to pull it as close to the back as possible.
It made a horrible noise when the metal expanded with the heat and started rubbing.

Took the engine out today as it has been blowing blue smoke for a while now and been burning plenty of oil.
Image

And once it was out its pretty obvious the number 2 cylinder was to blame

So now just on the lookout for a c16se if anyone knows who has a good one?
Motorhog in doncaster let me down saying they had one when they didn't :'(
