some bits of the gearbox that could get annoying and the motorcode (legallity thing)

ET35 handle's fine btw

babblefish is a verry bad translator the dutch way to way it is "Rook wiet!"

but I don't smoke it (anymore)
It made me do an engineconversion in 5 months instead of 2days lmao

[GSi2.5V6]

Nice to see things done to such a high standard! Good work

[5chaap2k]

high standard when is comes to safety / reliability yes

but i could have done some more small things like spraying rocker cover and other small parts..

i think this would be a funny color:


also i do have some spareparts laying around to make pretty or optimize

- original throttlebody
- fuelrail
- campulleys

and i have a set of catcams cams.. but i kinda like the standard engine as it is.. low fuel usage etc..

maybe next summer

[GSi2.5V6]

Plenty of time for the small bits when its in and running.

hey i can login again \o/

hi all still got the corsa here and it's still doing verry well

some changes made:

- kentcams inlet cam
- RR chip (by the former mantzel chiptuner)
- oil catch tank
- new sump (broke the old one :P )
- mocal oilcoollerkit
- NEW WHEELS!

corsa now pushes 183,5bhp on the crank with some nice revving no strange dips or anything

[Tunero]

Helo,

What strut bar do you use? Where did you buy it??

Thanks a lot.

Strutbrace is from m-tech

Donorcar was rotten beyond repair
