This is a quick re-post of the images.

You'll need to take the top bolt out of the coilovers and see if the bolt hole is round (no camber adjustment) or oval (camber adjustable)

Always thought tigras were 14s, I've never had a set though [emoji38] and yeah you'll need a 15 spare, a 15 will fit though you might need a low profile tyre just

@ stanc3w0rks I had camber bolts in aswel but there was a good bit of adjustment left in them

Im adding the 2.0 brakes today.

Ive got the driver side on and just checking how to connect the brake hose before i break anything.

then got to do the other side and bleed the system.

As always this turned into a bigger job than it should have been.

Removed the old sold disc and added the vented 2.0 ltr ones.
attempted to remove the old brake hose lines but after so many years it was rusted into place so i ended up snapping the metal steel hose line.

had to go out and buy some new unions and copper pipe and came up with a plan to patch it using a flaring tool.

the idea is sound in my mind but it was very difficult to carry out and steel doesn't like to flare easy.

i still have to test if it actually works and holds the brake fluid , or it may still leak out at the brake due to a bad join.

if this is the case im going to have to fit copper brake line from the servo in the engine bay to the brake hose.


What do you think ? will it work ?

Got the brakes working

[scorpiotn1]

Ordered some new 3mm and 4mm PVC clear hose lines for the washer jets

I currently have 5mm connected and i think its too wide to give enough pressure for the washer jets

im hoping by swapping down to 4mm or 3mm it will create higher pressure in the line, forcing more water out the mist jets.

New battery put into the car and fired it up, throttle body valve was stuck so took it off and cleaned it up.
working like new again.

Think the car is ready for MOT now !

[scorpiotn1]

Am i right in saying,

Corsa B rear brake bleed valves / nipples are 7mm , M7 ?

i tried to bleed mine and rounded them, it took 7mm spanner.
