Well my GSi dials and my centre console clock display arrived today...gonna give them a good clean and get them wired in tomorrow

so more pic's hopefully.

also got quoted for 4 Eagle F1 tyres at 180 quid so next month i'll be getting them for the alloys

dj_woodster · 30-08-2008, 00:06

Fitted the clock display today, went nice and easy apart from the plug at the back was a little iffy so, tweeked it a bit and all's well. Gonna fit my GSi clocks tomorrow hopefully and maybe finally replace the bumper with the new one sat in the back garden

muppetsport · 30-08-2008, 00:19

looks really nice and clean

dj_woodster · 30-08-2008, 08:47

cheers mate, it's clean but i'd say it's a clean rat look

Jack · 30-08-2008, 09:11

Awesome project.

dj_woodster · 31-08-2008, 10:13

cheers Jack

dj_woodster · 31-08-2008, 10:23

Well yesterday fitted the clock, and glovebox, and GSi clocks but couldn't find the ash tray 12v feed so didn't fit that, then gave the Corsa of justice a quick wash and 2 coats of the new 'autoseal' wax.....

Pikey Motorsports · 02-09-2008, 21:16

let me know how it went with the gsi dials, wouldnt mind chuckin a set in mine, is it a pain in arse to do? should be sweet with the nova wheels on dude, great find! cant wait to see more

dj_woodster · 03-09-2008, 18:56

dial's went in quite easy, had to disconnect the speedo at the gearbox and cut a holding cut so i could pull some of the cable through

the rev gauge doesn't work put i've put that down there being no sensor the other end, which hopefully the red top will have when i eventually hear back from mate so i collect the damn thing!

and the new glovebox too

Pikey Motorsports · 03-09-2008, 19:23

cool, well ill put it on my massive "to do" list!

it'll take a while but il get there in the end... thinkin kinda euro outside, stripped out racer inside...at least i should be able to do lots of it myself... or get help! volunteers? lol

dj_woodster · 04-09-2008, 18:07

wow

well i'll be happy with just a standard ish 160 bhp out of a red top

Pikey Motorsports · 04-09-2008, 18:16

if i can hit 200bhp il be happy... thing is i love my music so want to keep a decent sized install, just have it tucked away under false floor or somethin to keep the stripped out look.i wnt it 2 LOOK stripped out, but there's still gonna be the luxurys, ie electrics,install etc so she'll still have fair biut of weight...200bhp should keep her quick!

dj_woodster · 28-09-2008, 23:28

Well picked up some FK coilovers and a sportsauspuff exhaust system today off Chris XR

just need to locate an adjuster tool for the coilovers and hopefully have them on the car by end of next weekend

dj_woodster · 04-10-2008, 16:36

well last sunday i picked up a few bits off chrisXR not fitted them yet as i've spent up and need a few other bits as well

and i have man flu

threads are all mint

and this was the filter fitted last week

dj_woodster · 12-10-2008, 22:10

Well with the weather being so nice today i decided with the help of my mates to fit my replacement front bumper and my FK coilovers. The front went on very very easy, but with the bolts missing from the strut tops for the back and a fruitless effort to fit any in my collection of junk, we fitted the standard shocks with the lowering springs

didn't get chance to take any good pic's the light ran out and i was knackered

got to take it to have the tracking done tomorrow morning as it's now seriously out and we couldn't get the damn nuts to undo on the bar so gave up

dj_woodster · 12-10-2008, 22:14

nah it's ok now, it's only my mates that moan i'm not bothered

dj_woodster · 12-10-2008, 22:47

next will be the full exhaust system i've got, get set of 4 new tyres and get my vaux alloys on and gonna treat myself to a new strut brace

.dean. · 13-10-2008, 17:14

the wire to make the rev counter work is already in you just have to extent it, you can find it next to the ecu there a conector with 9 wires in and one is bright pee green that doesnt go thought onto the tot of the conector, you need to extend this wire to the back of the clocks no sure which bit it goes on on its one of the empty pins on the top in the middle of the plug that the clocks clip on to

hope that makes sence hehe

dj_woodster · 29-10-2008, 17:10

here's some better pic's of the corsa with the coilovers on....

Jack · 29-10-2008, 19:27

Looks fantastic like that, what sort of drop is it?

Dell Balallan · 29-10-2008, 19:35

Ye looks sweet, will look wicked on a set of wheels!

dj_woodster · 30-10-2008, 12:33

roughly just over 70mm drop, and my Vaux alloy's are just being powder coated this week

dj_woodster · 02-11-2008, 12:17

here's the alloy's just waiting for next payday to buy the tyres
