Corsa Project No. 2

[Ste L]

bought this little beast today, to replace my white one, as it's cleaner








cost me £340, not bad price really quite good condition, much much better than my white one


Plans are, coilovers, cesaro's, 2.0 16v..
will be transferring my smoked headlight's and opel badges over too probably

not sure then what to do

[DaveB]

Get the XE in, stop pissing about

[Ste L]

all in good time...

should make more progress on this on, as i dont have to take my only car off the road lol


have to buy an extra mount too now, due to being a 12v, and my white one being 8v

[Ste L]

When i got the corsa home, i couldn't fit it in my garage, so needed to do a bit of a tidy up..

just after starting, engine's moved and a few other bit's out..




Car partly in, filled boot up with junk from the back of the garage


fully in


engine back home lol


everything else back in - there's a car in there somewhere




there it is





next trip to the tip, with any crap i dont need, then it should be engine out,
and paint up the xe, some new gaskets, cam belt and water pump change then it should be going in

[Ste L]

not much of an update, but got an exhaust system for the xe now...

Grp A Scorpion cat-back, 3" tailpipe, with a 2.5" bore

pictured with my magnex 5x3 cat back


fitted it to the white corsa for now, so i can flog the magnex system





need's a clean, but meh

Looks good, why the twin hangers?

[Ste L]

Looks good, why the twin hangers?

corsa's have too hanger's, unlike the nova's single on

[Benn]

Ah cool, corsa looks good.

[Ste L]

will look better with engine sat in the bay lol

[astragsi]

[Ste L]

look at the size of that little 3cyl lol

may be small, but it;s still faster than the current 1.2i corsa i drive daily lmaolmao

[Benn]

True. get on with it.

[Fow16v]

you cant replace a white corsa with a silver one just wont have the same effect, really like the white one minimal look. gotta laugh at how much space there is with a 3 cylinder lol, gonna be keeping an eye on this one

[dj_woodster]

[Ste L]

Picked up some new wheels today

[dj_woodster]

look bright lol lmao

[J Sabo]

Astra SRi turbo wheels?

[Benn]

Is the filler cap from the guy on cs? If so i hope its been than joey bs one the guy did, that was crap.
Whats the gen on the manifold?

[Tom Williams]

Astra SRi turbo wheels?

4 stud Corsa C SRi wheels I think.

[rwdmad]

4 stud Corsa C SRi wheels I think.

this is what i thought

it was bought off a guy of cs, not Dan who usually does them, and this aint the best really, gonna do a bit of work on it myself, and sort it a bit, when i can be bothered..

edit - just checked pm's - bought it off a lad called liamgallagher1994 on cs, not sure who be got it off

the manifold, not sure really, it's slightly bigger bore than my standard one, got a zaf cat on it, and bolts to a corsa system.. the latter being the main reason i bought it, as im lazy lmao

4 stud Corsa C SRi wheels I think.

you would be correct

[wazpaz]

[Ste L]

not sure if i'll keep them this colour though...
