Re: Vauxhall Corsa 2.0 XE Club

Got up early today to get everything else finished off.

Because they're tapers, and because I have a late (v-grill) style corsa, the left trumpet was catching on the firewall. I smashed the **** out of it earlier in the day to get it to fit, but it was still abit close. So I needed to chop a hole out for clearance

Not the prettiest; but it works so I don't care




Standard throttle cable attached to SBD setup


Fuel Lines all plumbed in - bracket for FPR will be made next weekend.



Coilpack 'bracket' made :lol:


Wiring


Finished


All complete, started first turn of the key


Small video, gotta love lazy tappets when an XE's cold :lol:



Will be fitting the manifold one night next week, then need to get booked in for having the rest of the exhaust system made, and then the mapping :!

Loads to do

Re: Vauxhall Corsa 2.0 XE Club

Exhaust fitting today at Zorstec in Shipley. Excellent company, very professional and perfectionists when it comes to their work. Ј380 from a manifold-back 2.5" mandrel bent system.

Arrival:

Up on the Ramps

Customary Chav Saxo in the wings...


One waiting room...


...the 'recreation' room


...and if there's no answer:


System all done:






It's quite loud; but there's potential for a tailpipe bung if needs be. I think it'll quieten down though after a few miles. Annoyingly my new manifold is causing my dipstick to rattle against my baffle plate, so I need to sort that

Re: Vauxhall Corsa 2.0 XE Club

nice job, i bent my dipstick so it clears the hole in the baffle more, also bent the baffle for more clearance as the 8v one seems a lot closer.

Re: Vauxhall Corsa 2.0 XE Club

I've done something slightly more 'me'

I snapped my current dipstick in half, and put that back in. Then put an old dipstick behind my drivers seat if I ever need to check the oil

at least you didnt snap it with the crank like my mate did after he forced it in knowing full well it had gone over the baffle and not under
