waterpump etc is all done and laguna splitter is on, but now i have a new problem, after taking it out for a test drive with my dad the car started making a dodgy noise between 2.5 and 3 thousand revs :/ at the moment my dad thinks the timing is slightly out, and thats whats causing the noise, so once again the car is off the road as we dont want to be doing any internal damage :@ been wanting to go out and have a play in the snow but its all going to be gone by the time i get it sorted the depos get bad condensation and the adjuster motors were clicking so had to unplug them, im really sick of this car once again.. so just a few pics before i fake its robbery and go set it on fire sorry for the bad pics its been dull and havnt been able to get the car to a more lit place




also.. 206 front splitter has been cut down ready to go on when the weathe gets better

Love how there is so much arch gap that snow can settle on the tyres

I meant that might be the reason it sits higher than other corsas you see about.

thats a good shout! myself and another fellow heavy person in the front should bring it down a bit only need a midget to get in the back and it looks like i have lowered the rear 60mm. i think the reason my headlights blast people in the face is because the rear is low and the front is so high

the noise is a vibrating/rumble noise and the faster you go the worse it gets under your feet :/ we thought it was the timing but we set the timing, replaced the fuel pump relay and its still doing it. the engine sound great, and it runs great even when the rumbling/vibrating gets worse which makes us believe that the problem is on internally on the engine. all suspension and brakes etc is all good, only think we can think of it being is the rear engine mount. the right side one we just replaced, the left side by the gear box one is solid so will check the rear one tomorrow. this car has been costing me so much more than its worth! also got a new knock sensor and need tax aswell now.





i did a quick edit on paint messing around with different wheel colours and ride hights, this one i thought looked wicked aha

Cheers guys! hopefully when the car stops having problems i can spend my money on getting it lowered! if i do spray the wheels it will be in the summer some time. my dad spent the morning checking for where the viration is coming from and he says the rear engine mount is on its way out -.- so new one of those is on order, but he also checked the oil and the camshafts didnt have oil on them which means there could be a problem with the oil pump now :@

Once it's done mate it'll be like a new engine no point in outing it really as you may end up buying a car with more problems then yours I'd just stick with it and make sure it looks like the corsa slammed with the silver wheels

there isnt much of an update from me but shadyche has done a bit to his car which may be of interest, and another one of my buddies passed his test the other day so got a few pics off the drive we went on

start off with me spending more money on my car, new rocker gasket because the one we put on not to long ago has been off and on quite a bit lately, also got a new rear engine mount, oil filter and oil pressure switch which are both now fitted so hopefully that has fixed the lack of oil getting to the camshafts, also got a knock sensor but its in a right dodgy place so will be putting it on when the new alternator gets here.




shadyche has had an opel boot lock badge and a opel front grill which look sweet!



he also got himself some clear depos, yellow sidelights and yellow bulbs, was not sure how they would look but they do look good. havnt seen them in the dark yet though




went on a drive with shadyche and our buddy with the mito after he passed his test and got some pics
