4x4 would be cool, has this been done before in a corsa?

how much torque can the transfer box take before it shits itself? A lot of people with Calibra turbo's seem to have issues back in the day and were all running around in 2WD iirc.

yeah seen a few of them, don't think the transfer box will last although some scandinavian man i think or somewhere like that had over 600bhp through his, although it was modified somehow.

i much prefer the red intake pipe lol.

last thing to do will be to attempt to slightly clean inside, although a lot of it is fucked really, then I've also got rose jointed bottom arms and tie bars to fit and set up on wednesday. bit of a rush.

oh, got to wire up the tow bar relay thing as well into the bmw.

there is to fit the parts, just maybe not get the arms and tie bars set up properly as id need to use the stuff at my work to do it, and one of the delivery drivers is off next week so I'm covering his round. won't be back to work until about closing time, so doubt its going to happen.

All these years and I've never noticed the green towing eye!

New red intake pipe is cooler by far also..

adam from vauxhall powered sierras set about wiring up the can bus by pass box thing



quite simple, works well, no dash lights on, no errors or anything and trailer board lights all work spot on. nice. so thats the bmw ready for its towing job this weekend to pod and back.



wondered what was in the blue tube in the boot, appears to be a triangle, lovely stuff.



i edited up a photograph. smart.
