Pure corsa porn

Is that dash flocked, or something else? Can't wait to see it in action.

[robertkassner]

Hi,

Yeah the dash is flocked, i did it myself with a kit i bought from Frost Auto. Its come out ok but next time im going to get it done professionally.

The shell has a Roll center cage with added trianglation (such as extensions to rear beam mounts and front strut brace. It was built buy Old School Engineering in Rhonnda - south Wales. Byron has done a fantastic job and is a great guy to boot. Have a look on his website for examples of work!

Cheers

Rob

That suspension looks awesome. I'm trying to decide what suspension to put on my Nova Tarmac Car when it's done in the Summer but I'm not sure the budget will stretch to some of those bad boys!

hi, I bought the suspension from Proflex uk in Preston. Another set of top lads which will take time to talk you through setting and such like.

Its very expensive, only the engine being the more expensive part of the car.

If i havn't had the budget for Proflex then i would have had bilstein without a doubt!

Just ordered a bonnet and carbon air intake kit!

cheers

thanks for that fella i'll give them a ring on monday, with anything with cars if you want the best youve got to pay for it lol

[robertkassner]

Ok here are some pictures of my latest buys.

Went to see Iain at Eurorallye to buy a fiberglass bonnet with carbon air intake....well it turned out to be an expensive trip as he had managed to get hold of some wide track corsa B parts which never come up second hand!!!






Also bought another flocked dash which came with a trip meter. This one has been done professionally so im alot happier. That leaves with my old one to sell to raise some cash to pay of the rest of the bill from mr Bowyer.
Got a call from him today saying my engine was dyno'd yesterday and is ready to pick up!!! Cant wait.........

Byron is a top bloke well worth a visit!

Kev,

Hope to see you at Manby mate.

[robertkassner]

New brakes have arrived!!!! Well impressed with them. just need to get them sent of to BG developments so that the can make up some bells and caliper brackets.

Ap racing 4 pots which a specially made so that you can fit big rotors under 17in wheels
Ap racing 356x28 floating rotors (Kris Meekes spare ones from when he used to drive a s1600 corsa c).



Might be a while until a further update as i have no money!!!!

[DaveB]
