Thanks Dan much better aint it and me too!!
Mark  cheers!!
So today I done the Oil and filter. Used Fuchs Titan Pro S and a genuine Nissan filter. The old filter was as absolute nightmare to remove! Seemed massively over tightened. Got it off in the end though and safe to say I didn't over tighten it again lol.
Also whipped off the holey cold pipe for repair lol.
The old man is dropping it in for repair tomorrow and ill get it fitted back up as sooon as .

Do it. 13s are good! Just tend to be abit rustier etc dew to the age. And the CA18 isn't the most reliable of engines, cheep enough to fix though .

Yeah I think there awesome but like you say the SR20 is a lot more gruntier and reliable. Sometime you can get lucky and pick up an SR 13 or you could just do the conversion yourself

I have an idea how either or could be fitted in the imp.... However the ca18det is far far cheaper and can still easily manage 300bhp

Got my clear front indicators today courtesy of Sean-B. Really well packaged and a top man! Didn't hang about swapping them over from the horrid amber ones lol.
Before
After

Looks loads better with the clear fronts. Are you able to remove the orange inserts in them and replace with chrome bulbs? I did that on my MX5 and it looks much better.

Cheers for the comments .
Got my documents threw for my reg on Thursday. Didn't hang about with ditching the brick off the front bumper! Had a cut down plate laying around wich I had on the corsa so fitted that!
Looks a whole lot better IMO! Just new wheels after my holiday and abit lower all round and it'll look better again.
After help from people on here I think the turbo to manifold gasket has gone  . Haven't had a chance to have a look this weekend dew to the weather today and having a little bump in the corsa yesterday . It's looking like that's the problem though so I'll get a gasket set bought ASAP!

Hi all . Bit of a pants update but here it is. Ordered the necessary parts from Conceptua whilst I was away to fix the turbo gasket failure. Wich for some reason haven't arrived .
But I did also order a lovely little Stack carbon gauge mount so I could relocate it to the steering wheel cowling. As in its previous position it kept coming unstuck and falling over lol.
Looks much better/neater IMO and it's no where near as obstructive as it looks! On the hunt for some new wheels now and it'll be looking better ready for the weekender  !
