If so how much and where you get them from ?

the shocks are standard, coilovers are the next thing to be getting done hopefully

that must handle worse than paul's omega! V6 in the front wit 60mm springs and standard shocks...forget boat, that must be a ferry!

PMSL!!!!

that engine looks sexual

the handling must be shocking doe

Another forum i'm on organised a rolling road day, so i thought i would take the corsa along to see what it is putting out.




unfortunatly it didn't wanna stay in the rollers, so had to be helped a little



and the results




it doesn't handle that badly considering the rather poor suspension set up! Is rather bumpy though they are not actually 60mm springs at the front but the extra weight takes it down to about 60mm. It is only being used as a temp set upto until i get around to sorting coilovers and ARB's to sort out the handling properly.

189 bhp

hi,did your v6 calipers go str8 on or did you have to change the hub carriers too, thanks, paul

that dont seem alot for a 2.5l v6

standard V6 power is between 160 - 180bhp ish, depending on which model vec you have. Most V6 engines come out up on power though. 189 bhp is fairly good for what is essentially a standard V6 engine.

V6 calipers will go straight on your car however you will need the discs re-drilled for 4-stud. you can buy them ready drilled from LMF amongst others. Was gonna have a look, but their website is down.

Last few bits to get the Log upto date.

Depo smoked Headlights


Smoked side repeaters


Painted Calipers


Made a start on install (this is what i made for my previous Corsa GSi) looks a mess but only chucked in ready to begin when time permits


also fitted a pioneer headunit i had lying around.

Looking nice, I like to painted calipers and those smoked headlights are to die for
