cheers's,

before you say it, i would of took it out the top, but it was a spur of the moment thing, and didn't have a crane to hand

**Benn** · 22-10-2008, 19:29

Let you off then...lol

Ste L · 12-11-2008, 18:02

had a bit of a mess today, didn't really do much, too lazy..

bumper off

tiny bit of surface rust, i'll need to sort out

removed this GAY dirt cover thing

and gave the manifold a lick of paint

**Benn** · 12-11-2008, 18:05

Cool, whens the engine going in?

Ste L · 12-11-2008, 18:14

need to get my dad to bring it from his garage to mine, when i can do all the bits to the engine..

also, need to change the car wiring loom, when i get one, and stick the pas rack on it

Ste L · 14-11-2008, 13:30

these arrived today, chris astley tie bar lowering plates..
should be about £50, got them for £15 off muppetsport, dont think they've even been used

DaveB · 20-11-2008, 13:57

Why you using them? Was told they were needed if you had an F28

Anyway, what date am I putting in my diary for the fitting?

Ste L · 20-11-2008, 14:57

they can help with lift and dive when braking and acclerating...

also, i can still run the arb without the need for spacer's if i feel like it

Ste L · 07-12-2008, 17:27

Picked up an OMP half cage today...

it's not a proper FIA one, but it'll do the job, when it's been welded in

**Benn** · 07-12-2008, 18:36

CAge is cool, was gonna ask about the lowering blocks too.

**CraigGreen** · 09-12-2008, 11:55

Nice work STE. Keep at it mate.

Ste L · 12-12-2008, 17:11

Cheers CRAIG

New Steering wheel

kennybarbour · 12-12-2008, 17:54

Good project, what was up with the old lump in the silver one out of interest?

Ste L · 12-12-2008, 22:51

well it missing a cam out of it, as i sold it, and a few sensors that have been sold...

Ste L · 03-01-2009, 14:45

first off.. i've sold the half cage :lol:

then i bought these

Sparco 3point harnesses

then after an early start and a 2hr 30min drive each way, i picked up a full cage, with X diagonal's etc etc

and built up to see what it look's like

kennybarbour · 03-01-2009, 16:12

thats a pretty good cage especially for a bolt in. much more substancial than mine. nice one.

Ste L · 03-01-2009, 21:36

cheers, been told by a mate it look's like a OMP one, but it's very diff to other corsa omp one's ive seen.. eg.

the diagona's are directly welded on, instead of bolted
the front half is in peices, instead of a single like the OMP's
and it goes to the back of dash, instead of the front like OMP's

anyway, as long as it does what it should do, it'll be reet
