A bit of a boring update but haven't really touched the car for a few weeks now.
Anyway the exhaust was knocking on the rear axle so i bought some powerflex rubber mounts and it seams to of stopped the problem.


Also whilst fitting the mounts seen a bit of corrosion under the boot floor so i stripped all the carpet out of the boot and found this



Decided to tackle the job myself as a kind of learning curve as it would be my first time welding, so i cut the rust out. Found out using a grinder is harder than it looks.


This is the finished job after seam sealing, rust proofing and currently in primer.

Got my 2.0L brakes fitted just need to bleed them again later on as I think the master cylinder is leaking slightly. Suppose it gives me a reason to upgrade it. Any got any ideas of a better one to replace it with ?


Lowered the front on FK Coilovers, going to fit the rear springs at the weekend.


Want some lower profile tyres so I can go lower as the ones I have catch on the archs, also got my clear side repeaters and polybushed tie bars fitted just waiting on an anti roll bar bracket so I can get my corsa sport arb fitted :)

I have fitted my Astra CDX alloys will get picture tomorrow when the weathers a bit better, going to take them back off eventually and paint them white and fit lower profile tyres.

A few more jobs I have found that need doing is to look at why the radio keeps losing signal, I think its either the aerial itself or the radio isn't wired up correctly. Also the exhaust is rattling on the rear axle when i go over pot holes or speed bumps so I'm just going to fit some rubber around the rear axle as a temporary fix.

Just bought a gsi rarb so buying bushes to improve suspension will be bottom of the list until I feel it needs another upgrade haha!

Cost me £30 for the tie bar bushes :) fitted them myself so that saves me a few pennies haha

Oh fair enough, changing them all to Powerflex ones would be a big chunk of money considering what they are!

I fitted the bushes to my last corsa but never actually seen the road so I couldn't say. I wouldn't think it would make that big a difference unless you changed all of them.

Ahh it's hard to outline the brand from the pedals but they do look nice

Is there a fair bit of difference to the suspension by getting new bushes?

Sparco Pedals mate :) I like them

As some may have seen I used to have a 97 Flame Red 1.2 8v Corsa LS but I now have bought 2000 Arden Blue 1.2 16v Club which is in really good condition. I picked it up for £350 which I thought was a bargain. A few photos from the ebay advert.








A few bits I have to fit are:
De-badged Grille
Astra CDX Alloys
De-locked Passenger Handle
Powerflex Bushed Tie Bars

Other plans are just a general clean up
