Before I got my evo 7 I had a corsa GSI as a bit of a project car/runabout. I was only 18 and a 1.6 was all I could insure at the time. it was quite nippy, but of course being 18 I wanted more power.....to cut a long story short I spent thousands on getting as much power out of the little C16XE engine as possible.
quick engine spec.
Piper fast road cams
Delphie injectors
uprated inlet
4-2-1 exhaust manifold + decat
pipercross induction
power boost valve
magnecor HT leads
after a few years it finally got to the point that it had to come off the road as all the uprated bits I was bolting on it meant I had to get an Emerald k3 ecu to get it to run properly.
my mate whos a mechanic got half way through the job of wiring it all up and then got himself and new house and has been to busy to finsh the job ever since... that was about 2 years ago now and I just wanna get the car back on the road and get some use out of it as Im using a run down primera as my every day runner.
are there any mechanics out the that can come to worcester and finish the job off for me? Ive asked a few places round here but most of them need the car to be taken to them and wanna charge silly money.
jobs that need doing are...
ecu wiring finishing off.
bonnet pins fitted as it now has a fibreglass bonnet.
ABS removing if possible? (if too much work can be left on, the cars gonna be used on track so I would like it taken off if possible)
may be a couple of other little jobs but just need the car checking over and running again.
if any one out there wants to make a bit of cash let me know.
Need help on Corsa GSI project, will pay cash!!

Re: Need help on Corsa GSI project, will pay cash!!
Soz only just seen your post so ill have to ring tomoz, that would be great if you think your garage will be up for the job?
I have everything to get it going again.
a bit more info on the work that needs doing.
heres a pic of the wiring, I think most of its done just needs finishing off.
it has got some labels on. I can also get hold of the emerald wiring diagram that came with it and a haynes manual for the car.
The ECU is brand new so its blank but I think there are standard maps you can put on it just to get it fired up again
(I will rolling road it and get it set up properly before driving it)
Engine bay, you can see the power boost valve on right hand side needs a pipe to finish it off, also the abs unit removed (Id like the whole abs system removed idealy but if not it can be put back on easily)
Battery in the boot ready to go. There is some wiring for the sub but im not bothered about that at the moment.
Everythings in place just need someone with the knowledge to come finsih it all off
