Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

looks mint dude need a bit of chrome here and there to finish it of imo

hehe thanks man, the whole idea of me doing this was to make a factory look installation as if vauxhall had done it, do if a put in any chrome that will ruin what i went for.

Iv being trying to design the external bodywork and i think the only thing thats really going to suit it is the GSI kit .... but i feel like this is a bit overdone now so i am looking into other ways

Hi people,

quick update here removed the ripspeed gearknob that the previous owner had fitted :S and refitted a standard one :



And i got round to getting some more tidying up done in the engine bay :



Im picking a powerflow up tonight from garner90 so i should be able to get that fitted tomorrow and hopefully get a exhaust connected up this should make it run and sound 100% better.

I also have all the parts for my gearbox and sloth welded up my linkage for me as my welder is out of gas so ill get that all fitted on friday along with the shafts and hubs etc then she is ready for the road test




And a few pics of how sleeperish the car looks :




Ill also be giving it a darn good clean this weekend and getting it all polished up

Thoughts please guys !

looks sweet mate

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the lack of updates over the past week or so, iv being busy trying to sort out all the little problems and getting big jobs done, i have not really taken any photos of the work due to the fact i get stuck in and forget to take pics.

Anyway the major update is that the car is finished ! She is running and driving i just have a few bugs that i have to iron out first.

The things i have left to do are as follows :

1. Get gearbox sump plate
2. Fit gearbox sump plate
3. Fill with gearbox oil
4. Fit air sensor
5. Fit lambar sensor
6. Gum Gum exhaust joints
7. Polish entire car
8. Clean inside and detail
9. Final overhall & polish
10. Get tax disk
11. Declair change on logbook
12. Insure it

Anyway here is some pics of the final result :












Powerflow full system



Well ill be posting up some more over next few days thinking of attending PVS as i did not expect to get it finished this quick tbh ....

anyway gys i hope you like it ... please leave your comments

Hi guys,

Ok so a wee bit of a update this morning.

Still no logbook from DVLA so still cant drive the darn car atm, but iv being collecting some more bits & bobs to do other things on the car in the mean time.

Took a ride to scrap yard the other day to pickup some electric windows from a corsa that was there last weekend but sods law was against me and the car had being crushed and there was no other corsa's with electric windows there.

However 3 new ones came into the yard while i was there and i spotted that one of them had a spoiler fitted. When i inspected it closer i noticed it was the genuine Imry spoiler with the break light fitted into it. While taking it off i managed to break it in two places, the breaks are very clean however and i am in the process of repairing it today

Also got myself a set of genuine GM mudflaps + Fixings from the same car so it was a good day for me

Other jobs i have being doing it removing the LED washer jets that someone had fitted and fitted some genuine ones in there place thank god !

Also managed to snag myself some GSI clocks from a Tigra, the car they came from had 72,000 on the clock so i had to remove my millage counter from my old clocks and transplant into the GSI clocks , While the clocks were in bits i removed the gray front to them and then fitted the black front from the old clocks.

I have not had chance to take many pics but here is a few of various bits :

First off im getting her flaps out :





Flickr is playing me up atm so ill post more pics up later when i plug my phone in.

Hi guys,

Right thought with today being a fairly nice day i would take some pics of the car and i had to give it a quick blast round the block :thumbs_up:

STILL NO LOGBOOK !!!!! Arrrrrr DVLA are a right shower of s**t being waiting for 5 weeks for the logbook after sending it the V62 from to claim it from when i bought the car .... so untill i get this back i cant declare it as a 2.0 16v so i cant tax it correctly and obviously no insurance.

So enough of a rant here is some pics :






That's all i have taken for now still working on bits and bobs but i have being really busy for the last two weeks so the car has just being sat there .... still started first turn of the key this morning though

What do you think.

Quick Update :-

With standard airbox the engine kept cutting out due to oxygen starvation ... so i have got a new air filter for it for the time being :




Improved the acceleration and general smoothness of the engine a great deal ... please ignore the horrible battery ... collecting a battery jacket later in the week so that will be nicely hidden away. Also the new bonnet lining has dropped alot of brown dust onto my engine iv just this minute sprayed engine down with engine gunk and ill go out in 10 mins and rinse off.

also got round to starting to paint my calipers and drums

finished up the passenger side tonight when i got in from work, here is how its looking :






Will finish up the drivers side tomorrow its just such a slow job getting the gunk off

Right guys ... update time

First off this morning took a drive to see Rob, where he handed me leather seats and springs/shocks and off i went happy as larry.

Anyway I got the front leathers fitted today along with the rear shocks ... thinking of stripping the back seats out totally now to be honest as I never really have passengers.

Here is todays progress pics :






The only bit on the leathers thats even close to bad is this :



Being told will cost me about £40 to fix so thats not too bad to be fair

And here is the car with the back shocks fitted :







Tomorrows plans are to get the front shocks and springs fitted, clean and polish and finish the de-rubstripping on the drivers side

Thoughts guys ?

Another update :

Got round to fitting my front shocks and springs today its now sitting very low !

I also removed the front splitter as this was catching on every bump i went over haha.

Pics :





And with splitter removed :



Also took a trip to paint shop and picked up some primer, White paint, and laqure so the next job is to spray the wheels nice and white

Future plans are :

Smooth out front bumper and colour code
Fit GSI arches and skirts
GSI Spoiler
Strip out back seats

More to come !

looks mint dude being look for a set of them seats for mine

one thing though...i dont like the way it sits that stance dont look right to me, its bit tooo low on the rear tbh

Engine looks mint matey! Done a really good job,i love how standard the car is aswell

I can just see you driving and some nobhead come alongside you on dual carriageway or somet and then them acting clever and you just boot it and watch there faces
