Vauxhall Corsa 2.0 XE Club

[DaveB]

Drizz; not on this car mate

Picked up my custom stainless tophat last night. It looks lovely Can't wait to get it fitted to the car this weekend.

[breeze_blue]

Come on i want to no how the car goes and handles after all the mods compared to when you got it! and whats bin the most improvment etc

[DaveB]

Very little updates I'm afraid (not that anyones really bothered). Thrown my dummy out of the pram with it tbh

On driving home from picking up my tophat I burst a fuel line in the engine bay.




A week later I pretty much got that back together. Then decided to fit my new top hat last week, but managed to **** up the TB in the process. Got a new TB for it last night so will fit that sometime next week probably

[Benn]

I'm intrested, and thats not good, shes not been happy over crimbo then.

[Dave Dempsey]

Right Binns stop feeling sorry for yourself, www.earlylearningcentre.com go get some new toys.

Know how you feel though, there seems times when for every problem you sort 3 others appear, chin up chap.

[DaveB]

She hasn't turned a wheel since the 18th! tbh though; it's a waste of time anyway in the condition the roads are around here at the moment, so it's not like I'm missing anything anyway

[wazpaz]

get it fixed mofo, then when/if we get a dry day we can compare how much quicker my car is than yours

[Benn]

Funk me i didnt see that pic before, thats a big old leak!
Should have said i have a spare pair of xe fuel lines.

[Melv]

just read this start to finish Dave.
Top work - keep it up.

[vxlgsi]

looks like your inlet or top hat has been beating the **** out of your fuel lines fella, id re route them if i was you!!

[Jack]

From the way it's rubbed the paint off the bulkhead, there's been some serious rubbing going on.

[DaveB]

Wooh, another long time since any updates. I've got a few pics to upload; mainly of my custom tophat, which is awesome

Bought an Omex rev limiter/launch control (just for the fun of things) and fitted that. It's good fun, although it doesn't pop and bang as much as I thought it might

Took the car out for a jaunt last weekend, and low and behold it had a word with itself again. It seems that there was another airleak somewhere I'd had enough with messing about so decided to remove the inlet. From start to finish only took me 20minutes Bought a new inlet for it, and new icv complete with gasket set. I just need to get it all back together now.

Oh, just ordered my polycarb window set, complete with sliders in the front. My GRP tailgate should *crosses fingers* be coming next weekend. And I'm getting a mild form of sponsorship for the car, so within the next fortnight it's going to be covered in livery

[CraigGreen]

What are you getting out of the sponsorship?

[DaveB]

Free items and product discount. We (Wazpaz and I) are both being sponsored by www.Autovaux.co.uk

[Mark_F]

<subscribes interest> Always interested in your motors Dave, except that bloody RS van and that horrid jap wagon you had. lmao Nah, the teg was cool, preferred your Astra though. It was you that got me into Spec blue Mk3's

[Benn]

Nicely done on the sponsoring...

Whats the custom top hat all about then?

[ddiorazio]

that looks spot on

[DaveB]

Again, no updates from me for a while. There'll be one tomorrow.

GRp tailgate has arrived, and bolts straight onto the standard hinges, which is nice Just need to get that painted. Livery has arrived and is half fitted, will finish that tomorrow. Tophat is all now fitted with silicone hoses so looks abit better too. I'll get some pictures up tomorrow

[Benn]

Livery has arrived and is half fitted, will finish that tomorrow.

A wha?

[GTE 16v]

A wha?

Stickers

[DaveB]

Update time then. Still no tophat pictures as I've got to get some new hoses to finish that off, so onto the new bits.

Firstly, GRP tailgate; this has been taken for painting today. This came from www.agmotorsport.co.uk and bolts STRAIGHT onto the standard hinges. They come HIGHLY recommended.


Now onto the livery. www.autovaux.co.uk have sponsored myself and wazpaz, in return for covering our cars with their logos, amongst others. I personally think they looking fapping awesome, although my sleeper-look has now gone totally out of the window lmao

I've never fitted vinyl before; not to this scale anyway, but managed pretty well. There's just a few tailgate stickers to fit, but I'm waiting until my new one gets back from the bodyshop. Enjoy

(not quite convinced on the Team Autovaux thing yet)







Finished

[Drizz]

Awesome!

[ben21]

That looks excellent, I wish I had the balls to do something like that to mine, how much does it cost to have something like that desgined for your car dude if you don't mind me asking?

[DaveB]

&#163;150 the stickers cost (although I didn't pay for them; autovaux did). Purely depends on the quantity of the vinyl that's on the car though etc etc

[Benn]

As i said, love the stickers, needs a mig one too tho.
Love the yellow ness of the cage to the blue.
