Early warm up session laps on low boost (12psi)
http://youtu.be/ZJ98aQVzBqc

Went for a cool down lap after as the fuel was getting low hence the lift pump noise entering the last bend.

Early sessions 3rd lap meet a radical on its first lap so decide to see if I can stay behind it, all going well until I ran out of talent and had a lift off oversteer moment on the last bend :cry:

Looks like great fun and the motor definitely shifts! Bet you're dead chuffed with it!
Does it sound a bit rough when changing down to 2nd gear or is it my imagination?

Still on the look out for possible wide arch options and I think this is now my favourite due to it still looking like a Corsa gsi or be it let itself go a bit and put on some size msl:







What I like the most is the fact I've never seen another Corsa with that kit on in person and the arch gaps aren't as big as the option 3 I was looking at.

Thoughts please

The seller sent me the pictures as the white one is his own project and the purple one was just an image I found on the net

Yeah the ball joints aren't cheap I paid around £250 ish. I couldn't find a link for the non butted ones either which is strange as all the sites used to sell them, might just have to send them a email containing a picture of the type you require.

p.s who's Gaz?

Looks like it goes very well on track! Love the mount where you have the Camera

Wide arch will look awesome! Always loved that kit on these

Thanks! Yeah the go pro is mounted on the diagonal on the cage, gives a view of everything and helps me critique my driving as I can see my legs and steering input as well as the track.

Kits due on Friday so can't wait to have a look at it!

Shit just got serious!



Thankfully the filler cap is in the correct place not like the previous pictures

From quick measurements it makes the wings front and rear 4"s wider each side so that will be plenty for some wider rubber
