corsa B project

[DaveB]

..buy an MOT certificate from someone in 'the trade' as opposed to actually having a test

[fennyLET]

Im always abit worried about doing that as id rather know if my car had some problems. Would'nt want a crash over it.

very true, but if you cant tell whats wrong with your corsa and you're there putting C20lets into it, your doing the wrong hobbie...period lmao

most people fail on stupid things like dearings has, and typically if your cars about to fall apart they probably wont detect it

and for anything really serious they do detect see my first paragraph lmao

[fennyLET]

True. But there is aways that "what if" factor.

well i wouldn't mind buying a mot now as tbh the corsa has never failed over serious things, every year its always emissions or headlight aim lol things like that i think should be let go!

i dont know anyone who will just give me a pass

[neovo16v]

nice work mate

[crombievts]

bloody hell this is a good thread. you have done some good work

[dearing5]

all sorted, passed

done about 50miles so far, been perfect so far.

love the turbo again, aint ragged it yet but around 3k it pulls very well.

[fennyLET]

Thank fook its done mate. Glad to hear it. I take it you've got to run it in?

Well done there lad

[doge5644]

run what in?

[fennyLET]

Going on his last post i thought the engine.

I take it he doesnt need to.

[doge5644]

i dunno, personally, i dont recall seeing an engine rebuild?

so im curious too, why 3k's the limit

[dearing5]

its not a new engine but i just want to take it steady for a few miles just because i dont want to naff it in 5mins off the limiter for its first time...

[doge5644]

poor drivers hit the limiter

Car does look great even for a 5door which ive never been keen on, have been following this on allcorsa. You'll have to get some vids sometime of the screamer pipe, so i can hear what it sounds like

[dearing5]

will do mate, had problems with boost pipe blowing off today when i tried giving it serious boost

got proper clamps to, probably those wank egay hose joiners.

[oli_p]

i noticed the hoses on the front that attach to intercooler look a tad thin, are they ebay cheapies?? I need some red ones for my intercooler at somepoint but there like £45 a pop and apparently my hoses to intercooler are a little weird and different ones were used that rest of engine ones :S
