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

hi all not been on in a while as i had some bad news about the red corsa sport i bought it needs jigging its bent the chassis where the bottom arm goes on and a slight bend on the rear axel so after deciding not to get it jigged i have bought another corsa im gunna swap all the bits over including the 1.4 16v engine i am gunna be doing all the spray work myself as im pretty good at it.!
and time to start saving for my 2.0 engine.?
i have already put some new wheels on there tsw modena 195/45/17 what i want to know is how low can i go with 17`z on.??

have sprayed my eyebrows and the plastic boot opener.?
will upload some pics later
any comments welcome
ste

hello again would of uploaded some pics but cant find my adaptor .so does anyone know how low i can go with the 17`s on as the red corsa i have has all the lowering kit but that has 16`s on.??there are pics of the red one on here
and i plan on changing this over to the blue one.
any 2.0 engines for sale please pm me as i dont want the 1.4 16v in for long lol

you cant really go that low on 17's as there mostly the wrong offset, your better off gettin some 15's or if you want 16's get cav/calibra turbo alloys but you need to get 5 stud hubs discs and rear disc conversion, and go on corsa sport or migweb theres loads of them on there, or get a doner car mate

so i have finally found my lead for the camera have done a few bits and got some pics for yas.
so here goes this is the beast lol

so having changed over what i can im now in the process of taking all the electric windows and mirrors out to put in the blue one has anyone ever done this and how hard do you think it will be.??
ste

shud be easy, as long as you have the wires already there in the door plug. if not you will haveto wire them in which might be a pain.

read this:

off if you havent got the wires in the car side of it for the lecky windows etc, then you can swap your whole rear loom with that of the blue one, and that replaces the door plugs aswell because i helped duncanpound on here to do it to his corsa.

thanks for that monday i will be checking doorcards off to see whats behind there

ste

you dont have to take the door cards off you only have to split the rubber connector bit thats between the door and the body, if they have the same amount of wires in the same place then it will be an straight forward swap, if it isnt then you'l have to change the rear looms.

ohh right im with you now
how hard will it be getting the motor out and in .??
ste

there riveted in so u need to drill the rivets to get them out and obvisously a rivot gun and some 8mm (i think) rivots to put them bac in

or some small bolts, thats what we used on duncans
