Most of you will have seen this but we have a Tutorials & Faq's Forum.

We need your help to make this the most extensive information listing CorsaSport has ever seen. If you have done any work to your corsa or are planning to do something, no matter how small, I need you to send me what you did, how you did it, what tools you needed and if you have a digital camera then some pictures would be even better.

So if all of you can send me just one tutorial or an answer to a question that gets posted on our forums everyday then we would be looking in excess of 300 suggestions. Now that means your pretty much GUARANTEED to then see something that you need help with yourself, all for that 5 minutes extra you took to write down the problems you encounterd and how you overcame them.

So remember:
Get sending me your D.I.Y guides, no matter how small they are (even changing a bulb in quad conversions) and you can help us build up a huge file on Corsa's that could be even bigger than we ever imagined.

Cheers

does it have to be just for corsa's? As i'm doing a big DIY project at the moment on my civic, but some stuff could be useful.

I suppose we could make another Topic called.

"Other Cars", and put information in there.

I'll check, but send me or keep what you do just incase we can.

Thanks

We ran a section on our website during the building of an Opel Corsa Tarmac Rally Car.This section was called Corsa Development and due to this,we received unbelievable hits on the site.
This was updated every two to three days as the car was being built.
We have now won the class again in the car and have started some "alterations" to the car for this year.
We have called this section Cosa Re-development!!
Hope this is of interest to you all and please free to visit the web-site for a look,if there is anything we can help with then please do not hesitate in contacting us.

sorry for any delay, did post a thread ages ago regarding making the digidash fit in the corsa, as anyone who has seen mine will know I have done a pretty good job of it.

I will be sorting out a guide on doing this conversion, and also the blue leds for the MFD, will take a while tho as very busy at the moment building a couple of trikes before the new laws for them come in in June, I can make over £2000 profit on these each so pretty imprtant that I finish these asap, if anyone else does a guide to the digidash in the meantime, then Im willing to offer any help that is needed.

Pete, i may get a disposable camera and take some interio pics of D4, show how to make a custom install with little amounts of money and a bit of searching (well, bar the equipment ). Take the pics while from the start of the install till i complete it?
