marcAB10 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 i'd say a brake upgrade would be a good idea there, looks pretty damn cool though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I think you will kill it before you get a chance to give it to the lad, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Im thinking i might give it to a lad that works for us when ive cleaned it up (and had a bit of fun myself) he is a good lad that works hard for me and i think he deserves a decent bonus, some of you will have meet him at suprapod, he knows nothing of what im thinking about. Very kind gesture that!...I'm sure the lad would be over the moon with it... My mate had a C20LET (until he got questioned by the cops who realised it wasn't a 1.4) ... they are pretty -fast for such a small car, and a crackin' laugh!

JamieP Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 It now dont look like spencer can get insured on it, im going to buy him a little van. After speaking with Courtenay Sport the vauxhall tuner today i ordered full set of new shocks today from allparts only £85, got some custom made springs from Courtenay that are made for my car and designed to take the extra weight of the turbo 2.0L engine, should make for a nice ride, the intercooler has been moved back behind the bumper but this means i now need a new bumper as it has a great big hole in it, Think Ive found one local I'm going to chase up tomorrow, the car has Irmscher tinted front and rear lights which i think look terrible, Ive ordered some OEM new ones, once all thats done its off to the body shop to get looking mint, im undecided on what to do about the wheels yet, i want it looking as stock as possible but the stock wheels wont clear the brakes that are on it, i may just refurb the wheels on it in silver, pictures soon.

Just last weekend we took 2 cars worth of various bits of crap that we had been walking around for months to the trip, including a pair of front corsa b headlights !. I am pretty sure that I still have the rear light clusters around somewhere if you would like them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Ultimate sleeper there, it is fits the term pocket rocket perfectly. Has it been lightened in anyway or is it still stock weight + extra engine weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to sell or keep it? Do you know what its had done to achieve 300 BHP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Good prices on those parts! I remember taking a trip to Courtney when i had a Calibra 16v red top. They fitted a full exhaust system, intake, fast road cams and what they referred to as a group n chip. Was a totally different car, it flew Look forward to the updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 That will make one hell of a town car, Jamie? The horrible thing about the Corsa is that I really want to hate it but I find myself liking it lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt i will keep it long, i just enjoy messing about with different cars. I dont have a clue whats been done to it, all the paper work is in the car still, Ive not looked through it yet.

supra matt Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 any updates on this mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Ive been using it for weeks, starter motor packed in yesterday but its so light i can bump it by myself, ive been so busy with work ive not had a chance to drop it at the bodyshop yet, supra comes home from Baldy saturday so will get the corsa sorted soon. Been a hoot driving it, I dont think its got the claimed 300bhp but is very fast, in the wet it wheel spins in every gear. Im going to sell it soon though.

a98pmalcolm Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 My mate Jamie has one its usally a Z20Let engine that goes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 C20LET engine iirc, not sure what i will sell it for, depends if i do any work on it, as it is now about £1600 id guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I have a dead 1.6 ecotek engine in my drive with a good starter motor. I have a feeling it may well be the same fitment as the C20LET. If you want to find out if it is and want it its yours foc. I will only have it for another couple of weeks though as planning a mass clean up over the christmas break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 C20LET engine iirc, not sure what i will sell it for, depends if i do any work on it, as it is now about £1600 id guess. Not bad price that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thought you were giving it too a lad who works for you? IIRC he couldn't get insured on it. I have a mate with literally a back yard of spare C20XE and LET engines/parts, so I imagine he'll have a starter kickin' about somewhere bud if your after one!
