Re: Corsa b project log 1.0
Exactly as digger said, you need to find out if it's the battery or the cold weather aswel
The life of a battery is generally 5 years, they'll last longer but after 4-5 years the weather starts to affect them a lot more

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Hi guys, noticed my rear window tints had were starting to lift the other day which just looked messy so I ripped them out, I think it looks better with out them. To be honest, looks a lot cleaner what you guys think??

Re: Corsa b project log 1.0
So was digging around in some old photos and found a one from when the car belonged to my missus and was totally standard so done a little comparison of how it's changed in the last year when I took on ownership

Re: Corsa b project log 1.0
Huge difference there Nath! She looks absolutely mint with the angel eyes and the custom bonnet. Slabs reaaly change her as well.
Just goes to show you how much you really can improve a car! What's your plans now for her? Suppose you'll maybe wait to everything settles with the house.
But must say the motor does look mean good man!

Ahh got a few things I want sorted that just bud me like I need to colour code the bumper tops and the passenger side door handle, because my last one broke so had to get a new one, need my roof repaired as well coupl if little dents and then get the passenger side painted because I haven't done that yet [emoji20] and try and tidy my boot abit with there being a sub and a Amp in there now. ahhhhh so much to do!!!!Rían P wrote:Huge difference there Nath!

But once all that's done might look into a engine swap, perhaps Saab turbo, or just leave it as is and tidy my engine bay up [emoji4]

Saab turbo!!! Now that'd be some wagon! Is that the diesel one Nath yeah? What litre are those? Think the saab would be a bit more unique than the typical c20let, and still suprise people at the lights lol
Keep up the good work

It's the Saab b204 mate as stance said. 2.0 turbo petrol they are unreal with them in but it's a pretty big job, like you say everyone does a c20let or c20xe that said there's a few Saab conversions about but not as many

Re: Corsa b project log 1.0
Havent even touched the Corsa yet just stripped the Saab and bought an f20 box, custom engine mount and remapped + deimmobilised the ECU so far. Went to strip the Corsa sunday but it wouldnt even start on a jump so I gave up as I was very hungover lol. Need to get back in gear and get the engine out of the Corsa.
