after selling my last zlet corsa c i always wanted another , it was just the last one the shell was on high milage, the color was not the best and i just wasn't 100% happy with it , so when i project poped up at the right time i decided to go have a look, it was advertised as needing a few bits , when i got there the old engine had been removed and the new engine was in on 2 bolts thats it , the car was in great condition, 2 owners, full service history , 63k on the car (60 on engine)and it was previously a 1.4 sri with air con so one of the best models to have , as always the spec has developed down the way to more than i wanted but the plan with this car is to use daily and i also want to do track days and some santa pod action , power wise im hoping for 320/330 bhp but the engine will be the weak point as its not forged, there will be a forged engine going in there at some point but got a wedding to pay for atm so that will have to wait ,

want to get it all up and running then want to do a few changes before i do a track day, like full set of tyres, new proper brake pads and a external oil cooler, long term im hoping to get some corsa vxr seats in it before pvs 2015 then ill take all the parts of underneath and have them powdercoated

some pics of how i picked the car up





as you can see the engine is sat over to one side and the mount twisted

















car already come with 308mm brakes , had had new droplinks and lower arms and new calipers and brake carriers

droped the fuel tank to run the new lines and found it was full so £50 better of there too



new vs old pump



wiring done



rear beam on







forge actuator









braided brake lines ,



old vs new











aem wideband gauge



changed the door as it had some rust along one edge



helix 6 padel clutch to take some proper launches



new gauge pod



new gauges



stud and nut conversion



engine back out







new seals







all parts of for powdercoating



and cleaned it





painted block up





ecu mounted











engine loom all striped back



astra to corsa loom joined properly



and re wrapped







sump had started leaking but car came with a new one so changed that





new water pump vs old one





cam fitted


all timed up



painted inlet up









new release bearing



vacume hose



ttv billet flywheel



arp flywheel bolts





wheels of for refurb



stud and nut fitted







vxr injectors



all new bolts for engine







was still waiting for a few bolts in this pic





wheels all done









adaptor for the gauge





irmscher splitter















new cool thermostat





fmic



cupra splitter





forge dv



slim line fans



ally rad should help on track





bumpers, mirrors ,splitter, side skirts and arches were all painted







re fitted with new clips



new grill



















then had the gearbox rebuilt and blasted, its got new bearings, syncros and seals and had a quaife diff in it to should be a bullet proof box new







heatshield



gearbox fitted



fitted the engine and tried to bleed up clutch (clutch fluid is blue) and it started leaking out the bottom of the box

so engine back out and box back of



decided to take bearing of and try bleed it up out the box to see whats what , turned out the seal on the top had the wrong seal on




anyway got it all back in









ic fitted















new air filter

Ha ha that is a good reply Ben.!

Does look like a really good shell you've got hold of.
Really nice bits you've put on , how hard is the Cupra splitter to fit ?
The Ecu you've fitted aswell is it from an astra gsi? Think it's the 1.2"s you can use the standard Ecu just need a different map.
Does it go well ?

Cracking work as to be expected from your threads! Only thing I'm not really keen on are the cut down plates. Don't look right with the number plate recess still being full size, but obviously I'm just being picky.

When are you planning to get the turbo on?

Tom yes its just one of eBay think it was about £40 delivered

Yes just weld the front mount on alto tx autos port now do a bolt on one, bearing wise there the same as the corsa b conversion , you can use audio ones but there more expensive I might upgrade to then at some point

I know what you mean about the short plate and was thinking yesterday about getting other bumpers and shorting the recess around the plate
