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

Still waiting for some nice weather to come along to get my engine out which isnt good for me as while im waiting and the money increases im spending it on parts for the car.

brought for the car

Strengthening Plates
Heko Window Deflectors
Roose Motorsport Coolant Pipes (Red)
82 degrees Thermostat

and trying to get a rear disc conversion beam. one going for a cheap price and not far from me
ordering some polybushes aswell

So got the engine fully ready to be dropped but stil waiting for crane n parts to get from my mates garage to my garage to do the conversion so while i waited ive done a bit of online hunting and shopping and now waiting for a few deliverys

Front Whiteline ARB
Fully Front End Polybushes
Coilovers

Still got a few things to get that i would like to have inside the bay

Roose Pipe Work
FMIC
Mocal Oil Cooler
Alloy Radiator

anyone point me in the direction of a good front strut brace at all?

nice one, get some pics

Got a phone call today from work was told i had a small package and another package that looked like handle bars according to work collegues



i need to spend more time on the car, less time on spending my money on the car over the internet i think.

Finally, i got off my arse and got the engine out of the bay, xe out now time to assemble the let and then get it in , get some pics up tomorrow as im going to do all the poly bushes today

Nice how's it getting on now? Managed to fit all the prolly bushes?

nah not had chance to im working on all that stuff this week, just waiting for my coilovers to turn up.

few updated pics. not got much to do now, even tho i found a few snags i got to do before hand

so ive put everything back on now, driveshafts, hubs, oil cooler etc the other day and all i needed to do was put battery in and do the wiring before starting it up but coz of my 2.5" boost pipes i couldnt fit the orginal header tank in its orginal place so moved it across slightly which then ment i couldnt fit the battery so i missed out starting it the other day.

i went and got a corsa c header tank, which i hope will fit in behind the boost pipe in the picture above giving me space to put the battery in its place then i can start her up, also had my new bonnet resprayed and drivers wing that the resprayer sold me as i needed one after i bent the old one out of shape which only cost £150, which i fort was good as some of the filler on the eyebrows cracked or wasnt smooth from the guy that did it before they will be going on next week after it starts up as i hvent had time to go start it up this week and change the header tanks over

nice one it'l be a beast

will be nice to see it when she finished

Sell me this bonnet!!!! Hehe car loks mintt

that bonnets been resprayed mate, and it wouldnt of matched your silver, as it was from the darker shade of grey gsi.

so little update.

bonnet & wing got delivered last thursday before my wkend away in blackpool so there sitting around waiting to be taken up to the garage but will do once i have all the engine sorted and dont need to go under it as i dont fancy scratching them up, went garage yesterday and fitted my new roose water pipe i needed which to me seemed shorter than the standard pipe but oh well, went to fit the corsa c header tank that i read up you could use in replacement for the orginal header tank but it just wouldnt fit so i had to for now get the corsa b header tank in place which is squeezed in between the boost pipe and battery but is not fixed to the rear wall as its sitting too low to mount to it this will only be temp til i can get it on road or get a alloy header tank to get custom brackets on it, im only worried if it moves slightly il get a air lock in the water system but i will bleed it before hand but just keep an eye on it. its now just 3/4 wires away only have 3 of them wired up for now as the electrics is my weakness like most people but a mate maybe coming round to do them and then its just the downpipe and exhaust but im going to try start it, im sure the residents of the flats above my garage will love to hear my car start up lol but that will be going on shortly as i need to get the downpipe cut down and in line with my centre section etc then it will be off to bodyshop for last part of paintwork sooooo close

So yesterday finally got a friend to help try jump the car for its first time, i ended up getting fuel coming thru, so fuel pump works, ignition live worked and heard the ecu turn on, but no spark so now i got to fiddle around with the ignition side, dont really want to but going to get some new parts like rotor arm, dizzy cap and leads for now and then work on looking at the coil/ amp after
