first car 1.5td project

[CorsaTD]

got corsa-b stickers onnow have a look !



next on list chassis stiffners

[Erny]

car look lovley- to do the colour coding of the arches and the boot lock did u just us a spray paint that was the same colour or did you sand them down etc??

[CorsaTD]

i just masked everythng up and painted it the only problem is that i did not put enough laquer on however it doesnt really bother me as im getting abodykit for it in the summer so i dont really need to lol but u need to put quite a bit of laquer on to get the best effect.
if u put a high build primer on and give it 3 coats then sand it, it will smooth out lot better and not show scratches though!

[KarlP]

Dude get some white alloys on that beast.

[CorsaTD]

im gona get an mr2 mk1 now so im just gona keep the corsa the way it is till i get it lol

[Octane2097]

get a mk5 celica!

(EDIT)

Come to think of it the Mk4 is a pretty nice machine too!

[CorsaTD]

but its the cheapest rwd car i can get and get insured on! and they handle amazingly and they do 0-60 in 7 secswhen im done itll do it in 5 secs lol

[Octane2097]

if your willing to part with some £££ could always make the corsa 4wd or rwd? be alot tho

be an awsome project tho!

[CorsaTD]

how would i get insured on that though>???

[Octane2097]

hmmm probably alot! lol

[CorsaTD]

took out the white ring and puton the induction kit and boost valve on saturday and boy! what a difference it does 0-60 in 9.5 secs now instead of 13 but its not finshed yet ! lowering it alloys and intercooler ! then upping fuel and boost to get optimum performance its beast now in the we it will wheel spin through second just by hitting the accelerator at 2000 rpm mad stuff and it torque steers like crazy and ive only chang the fuel intake by a small amount so far!!
cant wait to get payed woot!

schweet
my friend did this to his old cav engine but it smoked alot afterwads, is urs alright?
i see it as an advantage if it does cus people behind cant see you to overtake

mine smokes like hell since its been remapped when i kane it leaving whoevers behind me coverd in diesel soot! lol

[CorsaTD]

oh yeah smoke just a bit however was racing a honda civic 1.6 that was tunned and a punto that i dont know anythign about! i wasnt sure about the road so i let the civic go in front but when the punto went to over take me i smoke him :P

[Octane2097]

heh its all about torque with a turbo diesel, not just the horsepower
my 1.9tdi has more torque than a evo 9 FQ280 with its remap
and more than a subaru impreza WRX standard!

have beat a fez ST to death,
beat a meggy 225 (which has 55 more horsepower than mine)
altho to be fair the megane was keeping up with me, with more road he would have beat me

more torque = faster you can lay the power on the road

horsepower is only half the equasion!

and best of all because you will get a high ammount of torque at low RPM you will be laughin!

[CorsaTD]

coilover adjustable
forced induction
14" alloys
