Any updates with this Jamie or you just been hiding this away? Exactly what I’m after, currently looking for a clean white b I can put a gsi kit on and some speed lines and tuck away | |

Listening to a podcast today and they were discussing old forums and even mentioned corsasport in all its glory, thought id treat myself to a quick trip down memory lane. Must be 8/9 years since I had my old Corsa, flick on the project builds and you're name is still up the top :lol: Always had a soft spot for a white Corsa, looks super clean now dude | |

I bought one from a German ebay seller Gm-carsolution, looking at a Ta technix one though it looks identical. I found the the fitment to be OK, it came with a flange with a bit of pipe to join on to the original exhaust, I only did a rough fit though as its going in on Monday to get the rest of the exhaust done but I'm happy with it. | |

What do you think of the exhaust mate? Which one is it? Fitment okay on it? | |

Car has had a blow out in the exhaust from I got it home and found out there was a big hole in the downpipe, ideal because I was debating to buy a 4 branch or not so that decided it, got one of some German company on ebay, feels more responsive and tidies the bay up a bit more. Also fitted some stainless steel bolts for the wings. | |

Ah yea was looking at the Ta technix ones too, there's not much to choose from now. Did you notice a difference with the manifold? I've had one in my watch list on ebay for ages but bit reluctant if the only benefit is that it's shiny stainless :lol: | |

quote: I bought it second hand but I am sure it is the TA Technix one that is on ebay. Fit on the head is fine but I found the join on the manifold to downpipe was rubbish so modded mine to allow me to use proper exhaust clamps but the join to the CAT is the worst part, the angle of the downpipe is off by a few degrees so it won't sit flush. Once things return to a more normal state I am planning on getting the downpipe welded to the CAT with a flexi in it if I don't decide to just return to the standard one and do away with the issue entirely. | |

Which 421 have you got? I was looking at 1 on ebay from a shop in Germany look like good quality, bit hesitant to buy one though in case the fitment is poor. | |

Cheers mate, I've been thinking about doing it and the inlet is off at the minute so probably quite a good time to get it done. I run a 421 on mine but I've had nothing but trouble with it tbh, it's a terrible fit and leaks where it joins the cat no matter what I try. | |

quote: Thanks your build was actually my inspiration when I bought mine :cool: I followed the wires from blue plug down the back of the engine and unplugged them all and pulled it all through the gap in the lower inlet, its very fiddly have to do one part at a time, the injector plugs are on the same Loom too so they need clipped out. Then just re routed it all behind, and brought the plugs that were needed up top back through the lower inlet, its time comsuming but worth it imo. | |

Looking good! How did you manage to reroute the big blue plug? | |

Been tidying up the bay the past few days, finished fitting the Mantzel up and tried to fire it up but wouldn't go, was looking for ages to see what was wrong then I realised I left disposable gloves in the lower inlet to stop.dirt dropping in :facepalm: :lol:, so off it all came again, was able to get them out and turn the engine by hard to tease them off the valves. Re routed the blue plug below the manifold too. | |

That Corsa is beautiful. Done a remarkable job on it, love how low it sits and it really really suits those speed lines. Great thread | |

Your not wrong on that one :lol: arm and hand scratched from top to bottom :lol:, finished it off today and trying to tidy the bay up a bit, just seems very cluttered imo, must remember to take a couple of photos tomorrow. quote: Yea I love them, sadly had to sell it though as it was taking priority over the Corsa, needed fixing on a weekly basis :facepalm: | |

Went and got the Corsa out of storage yesterday to give me something to do while I'm off work, started fitting the Mantzel Powerbox today what a pig of a job that is, spent more time trying to get the intake pipe out from behind the engine more than anything else, have to finish it tomorrow all being well. | |
