Stunning, again top work, and those brakes

Going for a repaint in black again? Would look stunning with a new paint job, plan to do the same with mine some day.

id rather not be known as a little green thing, and im getting it painted to tidy it up not look cool, i think it will more than likely go black again though tbh.

so heres todays antics

take 1 fully built up corsa


take the front off


then take manifold and turbo off


push it to the back of the garage until i decide what path to take next.

then get my f28 from under the bench which i thought i funcked the other day and take it apart,bam theres the culprate


its a slither off the end of my driveshaft how the hell it cut off so clean i dont no, it had lodged itself between the diff gear and the outer casing, luckaly it spat my driveshaft out when it did it and i lost all drive, so towed it home and ripped the box out


where it came from


the only damage it did!


so.........

cleaned the box up



fitted a quaiffe lsd lol


bit of sealant and banged it back together jobs a gudden


then the postman came!!!

1 tial wastegate
1 tial blow off valve
1 apexi avcr boost controller





quiet a constructive day.
