| "Corsa LET build diary" Its alive....!
Picked up this little beast yesterday nice and cheap, always wanted a grey corsa gsi..... drives real nice and is great fun too...
Once ive finished rebuilding my LET ill slot it in, between now and then i have some work to do here and there so im gonna use this as a build diary..
Main purpose of the car is abit of fun and for trackdays so any input from folk in the know about whats best and parts etc would also be usefull..  
I have what i want to end up with 80% planned out, it will probably end up completely stripped out etc, but for now im quite enjoying it as is.

| Not really mate, its just more noisey. lol
I havnt really stripped it yet, just threw out the back seats.. tbh it probably wont be completely gutted, but i have a cage, buckets, harnesses, flocked dash etc
Ill put pics up as i get the mods done.
My feeling is that when it has the LET in it, its going to be too quick to drive hard anyway, so making it uncomfortable and noisey would be pointless as it is still a road car too. It just depends how keen i get with my trackdays. lol | |
