My 1.8 (z18xe) Corsa C on Jenvey throttle bodies

[peester]

The first day at my new job Monday so getting stuff ready today. I'm always knackered the day after a car show so didn't think it was a great way to start a new job...

lol! snap.. tho i was tired for my first day today without having to have gone out friday night.. good show tho.

Just thought I'd sling up a fresh pic. I've taken all of the modball stickers off now and paid to have the car polished properly with an orbital. Really pleased with the results.





Then I put the Ronal Aeros back on



I'll be at Trax on Sunday

not sure on the wheels

That's ok, they are very marmite. As odd as this may sound they do look better in motion... lol

Just found this on another forum from Trax

[MikeITB]

Not sure if I ever made mention in here of my owning a Lancia (Other than when I tried to steal Lee's spoiler)

Well I sold it on Saturday and to mark the occassion I took some photos. The Corsa is in most of them so I thought I'd whack them up here for people to look at.

Check out the new bonnet prop :lol:

[Valesidecc]

The corsa Owns those shots!!! nice Mike!

[peester]

why u sell dude? x2 projects are to much eh..?

[MikeITB]

Cheers Val

Basically yeah. I never wanted it to be a project as such but when I bought it the engine blew up, then it was all downhill, lol. I recently took a rather hefty pay cut and so can't afford both any more. It's for the best really

Lol, don't do it!

[MikeITB]

Putting money from the Lancia sale to good use already...

I'm now £940.32 lighter....

2 x Sparco Pro2000 black bucket seats
2 x Pairs of sidemounts
2 x Sparco subframes for '05 Corsa C (10 day wait from Italy )
1 x Pair of Aerocatch Plus Flush locking bonnet catches
1 x Pair of Aerocatch Plus Flush bonnet catches

The seats:





The seats should be a fair bit lighter than my current ones and sit lower.

I'm going to get the bonnet fixed and mounted up on aerocatches

have you sat in a pro 2000 mike? they are quite wide from what i remember, and again, from memory you’re not a fat bastard so might end up sliding around in them, i do! also, if you want them low, don’t use subframes...

[Valesidecc]

Awesome buys there mike! those sparco's are nice looking!

That I have not.... Hmm.... might be a bit late now lmao

I guess I'll just have to wait and see but I would have thought, once harnessed up, I should be ok. You do remember correctly, I am rather slender lmao

I want them lower than the ones I have at the minute but that shouldn't be hard as the ones I have are bulky and bottom mounted. I went for a manufactured subframe out of convenience and laziness if I'm honest. If I decide they need to be lower at a later date I'll do away with them.

[lee303]

my pal mark had a set in his nova, even fully belted up, i could slide fairly easily, order some extra lumbar cushions now if i was you lmao

[lee303]

or ring them and see if they will swap them for the pro race ones, same design but skinnier, should be ok with that if un used...

[MikeITB]

Sure his wasn't the Pro2000 plus?

Sparco Pro 2000 Plus Fibreglass Seat | Seats | Seats & Accessories | Motorsport Shop | Demon Tweeks

Only if the Pro2000 is wide and some fat ****ers warrant making somehting even wider I worry that we're turning into America, lol.

Dimonsions listed here seem pretty reasonable

I think I'll wait and see what happens when they turn up. If they're THAT bad I'll see if I can swap them out and pay a restocking fee.

Cheers for the heads up though, I'll make sure I trial sit before fixing them in, lol

[lee303]

nah they weren’t the +s, they’re proper huge, but yes, have a sit in them with the plastic still on and make sure you’re snug!

[MikeITB]

Just spotted this "• Available In 2 Sizes, Standard Or Large "

Maybe I'll give Tweeks a quick ring, lol

[MikeITB]

Standard size coming.... not extra fat boy

Compared to all of the other buckets it seems among the most narrow :¬\

Ah well, I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Am waiting to hear back on prices then I'll be ordering new front discs (Mine are warped) New pads and Hel braided lines

[lee303]

think he had the large, but they weren’t the +s thats for sure, always a hard thing to do with seats, try before you buy, but worth it, still, sounds like you have the skinny ones coming so should be fine

[MikeITB]

Phew, thought I was going to have to put some scatter cushions in the Corsa, lol

[Valesidecc]

Nice those are smart.. now get them mounted rofl..
