ano, was two days after xmas this year, had just put new yoko spec2's on it, full janspeed coilies, water pump / timin belt and breaks. then ended up getting 250 insurance pay out, haaa. but got a new one on the way soon :P

Save the trees, wipe your ass with a owl!
aye mate. just painted them white before the (unts took it.
Im guessing all your mods werent declared if thats all you got
just using this thread for updating now........
Hey i am going to be building my first XE corsa soon, i am getting the car on friday, i have the Late type XE witch i am cleaning up and stuff just now.
I have had 2 redtop corsa but never built one yet, the problem with the corsa's i have had is that they both had stock shocks and weren't the best of built cars, having leard from them its time to do my own i think,
i Have drilled groved and vented disks, bilstein B6 front shocks, (the piston is super chunky!!!) and janspeed high performance rear shocks with spax 40mm springs all round. i am getting a set of toyo proxies t1-r to stick it to the floor, just need to save up for a quaife atb differential.
i am going to be emptying the car but the problem i have had with that before is that it seem to be tail happy some times, i have thought about weighting the rear axle, this in theory will add the weight to the back of the car and lower the center of gravity at the same time, ruducing the body roll of the car?????
My new shocks and discs
got my shell yesterday!!!! the project begins

Started to take the engine out the day, got offered some slabs, so started slabbing some of my drive, got bored of that, then decided to dig a pit!!! we at least finished that!!
amazing to work under, and this is it with out any ramps!!
Cant beat a pit mate. Looks a good shell too. Sorry to hear about the other one being pinched. Easy to work on now mate, even if it rains haa. Will keep an eye on this.
dont fancy the pit much with our weather
looks like a good project, any further on yet?
haaaaa, pit ftw!!!
not yet, the weather has went pretty bad, i have got a big tent/garage thing i need to setup, first i need to put the x10xe that is in the corsa b into my mums corsa c!! shouldn't be to hard, basically i am going to have the two engines out and put the whatever is different from the corsa c engine to the corsa b one! i.e the exhaust manifold, throttle body ect,
the corsa b x10xe
corsa c x10xe
should not be hard!!
"should not be hard!!" haaa, member the dreaded hex's tho.
this is what happens when you have stock 1ltr shocks, bad brakes, and no commonsense!!!!
engine out time!!!
Dirty engine!! strip it and clean it!!! wooohooo
need to get this tent set back up!!!!
when you coming through with it then bud
might be in the next few weeks or something, i need to get a timing belt and some big end bearings and stuff, got my gearbox and cylinder head gaskit set, do you no what company does good (but cheap) engine paint, i have some hammerite silver paint but as far as i no its not hi temp paint!!! cheers mate
My dodgy thermostat housing!
dose any one no what i can do with the chips that are round the side were the gasket will go!! or were i can get a new thermostat housing from!??
???????
Vauxhall......
a might have a thermostat housein kickin abiout
i may also have one lying about
Alright mate nice little project you've got there where did you ge your shocks from by the way?
i got them from e-bay!! there are a few different variations, the price is a bit of a kit in the balls just for shocks, but safety first. check out the bilstein website BILSTEIN B6
Yeah thats what i was thinkin bit on the pricey side. Bilstein are the dogs b******s tho! Cheers mate good luck with your project!
Hammerite works fine on the block mate, i have never seen one that burns/runs etc. Im going to be doing mine very soon also. Good luck keep up the workOriginally Posted by -shorty-
i have got these pistons, as far as i no they are stock out of the 20xe engine that came into production before the c20xe with a cat?? but i am led to believe that they can handle far more power than the early or late type c20xe's
will these be the same size piston rigs and bearings?? i have had a look for some but there are some variations in size with different people, why is this, bore size?? what is the set size or piston rings and shells for a stock c20xe??
