Re: Silver corsa b envoy 12v
Been busy with other things recently and haven't been bothered to getting round to finishing the corsa the weather is terrible a lot aswell atm.
Being doing more research on the bike carb conversion seems a lot of 1.6 bits are usefull for the 1.8 Rods exhaust manifold etc can be used need sump and pick up swapping if using a sport manifold but on the plus means a full standard corsa exhaust can be used without cutting welding etc
So a seen on a Facebook post about fk automotive doing good deals and managed to get myself some front coilovers for 12pound there actually for a c but I know they fit a b as helped a mate do similar set up while ago just need to order springs from rally design and rear shocks from fk

Going be miles better than the current cut springs its on atm lol

Re: Silver corsa b envoy 12v
Managed a few more deals off the fk website crazy how cheap buying them in singles is [emoji23][emoji23]


So that's springs and rear shocks sorted and had an idea has anyone thought to use helper springs for rear springs these are of a bmw and are a lot harder than corsa ones? About the same size of 120mm springs that folk fun in corsas anyway and could run the adjuster for height ajustablity or am I just being stupid??

Re: Silver corsa b envoy 12v
Helper springs can nearly be compressed by hand?

Re: Silver corsa b envoy 12v
I still think polo rear coilovers would fit a Corsa B

Re: Silver corsa b envoy 12v
I was going try a set but springs look a lot larger than the ones I've seen on proper corsa rear coilovers

Re: Silver corsa b envoy 12v
Is that right? What if you got shorter springs on the polo coils?
