Just a random urge to post pics of my corsa to get some feedback from others.
wasnt built to look particularly pretty as its a rally car but all the same ive tried to keep its appearance as presentable as i can.
Edit to include spec :
X14XE engine with induction kit
Ashley cat back 2" bore exhaust system
F13 gearbox with close ratio cluster and altered final drive from 3.7:1 to 4.1:1 no lsd yet
Bilstein rear shocks with -30mm springs
KYB ultra SR front shocks on standard springs, for now, Bilstein to come soon.
13 inch GRP A revolution RFX rims
Mintex heavy duty front discs with mintex M1144 pads biting them.
OMP 10 point rollcage
Cobra suzuka bucket seats
Willans 6 point harnesses
Brantz Rally timer
Cibie turini spot lamps
Works spec sump guard (11mm thick)
custom made tank guard
all pipework underneath skidded with alloy for now until i get time to pull all of them off and run new ones inside the car.
Future plans include :
ZF limited slip diff
4.5:1 crownwheel and pinion
Bilsteins coilovers for the front
Disc braked back beam
Vertical hydraulic handbrake
Quickshift linkage and a few other little bits 
Yes it has been rallied, only once though as it was finished friday night and competed saturday night, next even will be 14th and 15th of april hopefully.
new pics to be added tomorrow hopefully

lowering the rear but not the front has nothing to do with rallying and will make it handle crap

i do have to admit, not many rally cars still have there interiour, let alone the rear seatbelts
but with the front lower it will look very IMO

this conversation popped up before, i had it lowered 60mm all round but it handled like shite so i lifted the front as that was my main problem, had no feel on the road. its since been lifted at the rear.

indeed the rear seats and door cards etc are only there because they have to be, road rally regulations.

good point mate, gonna happen soon, as soon as i know how to keep the warning light off and wether itll feck something up on wiring side of things, i.e will the car start and run fine with the air bags off if it thinks they have been deployed.
Air con system coming out soon too.
