Thanks fella, It had 3 washes in two days plus a quick detailer session on the sunday morning too LOL... its a clean example, Still needs a little tlc imo.

I was quite proud of the oil cap, never seen another fitted to an x16xe and plus the fact i hate the BRIGHT YELLOW cap

Please dont touch your corsa, its a great example, I want your front seats soo Bad

No worries about sunday fella, only too happy to pitch in

Thanks for the comments

Corsa Gsi has made it though into the Final 13 of the SFS performance hoses contest in order to win a full bay of silicone hoses.

If you could click the link, like the sfs page and then the picture of my Corsa Gsi i would most appriciate it

Right time for an update...

Thanks to all you lovely people here on CS... I recently won a competition run by SFS performance hoses and my prize turned up this Morning.

Wasted no time in getting them all fitted and giving the bay a quick clean, still got a few little bits to paint and clean, but its coming along nicely..

As always, comments welcome

Little Update 23.11.12

Now after a few comments such as this:

they ruin a truely awesome car

I decided to pull my finger out and get back on with the OEM+ feel of the car...

Out with the old and in with the new:-

Id liked the old non-GM items, but these suit so much better imo and the fit is perfect

Now some of you know that i had clearance issues with the Stainless 4-1 manifold and i was forced to put some original sport springs to be able to drive the car without issues, I was sick to death of it looking like a 4x4 on the front.. so after months of searching forums, facebook groups a 4-2-1 mild steel manifold was in my hands

You've probably seen the attention to the engine bay throughout this thread, and i couldnt just swap the manifold without giving it some TLC

First was a full clean down and then painted with some high temp paint :-

After i was happy with that I set about heat-wrapping, After several itchy painstaking hours i finally had something i would be happy with bolting to the car :-

After the wrap had dried out it was time to remove the stainless 4-1 and fit the prepared 4-2-1 manifold, dont want to bore you with the fitting pics so heres a few of the Bay :-

You may of noticed that ive also added a Baileys alloy PAS bottle, Thanks to Corsajay88

Gave it a full clean down and polish before fitting :-

Now im not 100% sure if the baileys PAS comes with a blue cap. Looked arden to me, for the time being ive used the original black cap and will be spraying the lid Candy apple Red in the near future.

Might aswel give you another Bay shot

Finally with the manifold sitting sweet, I could turn my attention to the ride height and get rid of the 4x4 stance..
Again no pics of the fitting, but im sure we've all seen enough pics of spring fitting to last a life time

Now these are said to be -40mm springs, but it looks to sit alot lower, not that im complaining...

Might aswel whore out some more pics :-

After a Wash and wax last weekend...

As always comments welcome

Spanking.

Looks good Mark! You thought of dropping the rear a tad more?

I really do like this car

Done a great job on that manifold and the baileys tank blings up the bay that bit more!

Keep it up!
