Ok Ok enough about the pink wheels.

They did look good when they were on the car and my miss's was driving it but I dont really think they would suit it with a bloke driving the car. lol

Yeah it is a really nice car, going to have it rollin roaded at Thorney Motorsport in a few weeks, the seem to think it could be pushing out 250-260bhp and 290-300lb of torque, all I know is thats a handfull to drive on full boost (but loads of fun).

Ill tell Lu that you said hello and keep your eyes open for her at PVS cause we're going in the turbo and the corsa.

Its a piece of cake mate,

The rears take about 10-15mins to do and the fronts about 20mins each side. Need a deep reach spanner for the top mount nut though, makes life easier.

Longest and most frustrating part is setting up the camber and the ride height.

Use a tape measure to make sure both sides are the same.

Little Update:

Went to PVS and thought it was a good (seriously HOT) day out.

I did have a look at the cars onthe CS Stand and they were all excellent.

While I was there I bought a set of New OE Vauxhall Rear Mudflaps for £10 and a bunch of stuff for the Astra Gsi.

Anyways so heres waht I have done recently (which ain't a great deal).

The Mudflaps I bought


And them fitted to the car. Took all of 5mins to do.


After looking at a some of the euro style corsa's there so I went home and lowered the front of mine a bit more. Now sits 4cm off the ground




And the usual side pic

Just I need some -90mm rear springs and the ride hiegt will be sorted

I finally recieved my euro style plates this morning so they will be fitted soon.
Ive also fitted an 8ball gearknob and a few new graphics but ill take a pic of those soon too.

Got a lot of inspiration from the corsas at PVS so im now sourcing some more stuff to start on the semi euro style of the car.

Will do when its finished but im also saving for a phase 3 remap and VXR turbo, fuel rail and Injectors for the GSi Turbo at the mo so that gets the most of the money.

Had a half day yesturday so I went to the local scrappy to see would goodies they had in and to to find a knock sensor as mine is knackered. Straight away I found a tigra with the same knock sensor so after half hour of hunting for the wire connector I had the sensor off.

Then I thought id have a look if theres anything in the tigra that would be usefull and I found this.


I also took the electric sunroof motor from a Vectra too.

So when I got back I decided to fit the new parts, fit new euro plates, clean and polish the car and take some pics of the various mods that I have done but havent showed anyone.

Tigra Tray Fitted


8Ball Gear Knob from Ebay


Electric Sunroof


8Ball Valve Caps


Piston Heads Sticker
s

Few Subtle stickers on windscreen


Few pics of the car clean with plates fitted





I also got a bit bored so I started to photoshop what I would like the front to look like eventually.


Thats all for now but more to come soon.

Cheers

Really!! small world. What car has he bought now.

He wanted to buy my gsi at one point.

I just looked in your gallery and noticed that your the one who sold him the black venoms and black cav sri wheels.

Are you the mate he talks about with the 2.0l corsa?
