Re: My Corsa Turbo 4x4

you should have put the pics in a list not a row as they would have been better for people to look at, looks good though, is it just a standard engine?

Re: My Corsa Turbo 4x4

hope that prop has been balanced, also I don't like the look at that prop angle as it exits the transfer box

Re: My Corsa Turbo 4x4

nice engineering work, shame about the bodywork IMO. If you like it though thats all that matters.

the prop came from just novas and corsas, sum one shortened it for them so i would say it is balanced, as for the way its coming out the box there is nothing wrong with that its got loads of grease in the joint and it turns fine.

Re: My Corsa Turbo 4x4
