Corsa C 2ltr Turbo
Before i get wripped to pieces i will start off by saying i am a fordnut at heart i just havnt got round to buying one yet (ive had this corsa since i was 17 lol)
Its been converted to a 2.0 z20let engine out of a mk4 astra GSi (about 200bhp)
Engine mods are:
FMIC + custom boost hoses
Custom intake system
Air feed from morrette (stole this idea off a cossy i seen
)
2 1/2" exhaust system with decat
Painted rocker cover
E-tec strut brace
Exterior:
Glossblack CC and refurbed gloss black SRi rims
Morrettes
Lowered on FK coilies 100mm+
Astra GSi 308mm discs and callipers up front
Interior:
Cobra Imola bucket seats retrimmed with standard SRi cloth (stole that idea off Twins lol)
Sparco 4 point harnesses and stripped rear
Raid HP rear strut brace
Custom mounted Boost and Air/Fuel Gauge
Momo Team 280mm steering wheel
Future mods:
Ive got different AFM, Turbo and injectors to go on but will need mapping, should see 280-300bhp and 320lbs/ft torque. SRi rear beam with disc brakes on. Backs of seats colour coded to car. General tidy up of bodywork
Pictures:-
Please dont rip it to bits, i will be looking in to selling up next year for a cossy :thumbs:

The ladies love it French
Yeah really nice mate, had a few cars in my time, had a brand new Corsa B back in the day, was gonna go down the 2ltr route with that but didn't bother in the end. Quality of the work looks top notch on that one though, good work.

Bit of an update on the corsa hinger, changed the front bumper to an irmscher item to keep to the OEM+ feel and upgraded to a VXR turbo, got some VXR injectors and 80mm AFM to go on but will need mapping for them to work, so a little more saving is required 
lol
Made a trip down to the fast show at santa pod sunday gone (22nd march) and had a bit play on the strip, my first 2 runs were pants i was having trouble selecting 2nd gear! but in the 1st video i reel the clio 197 sport in like a fish!
some of the videos:
Run 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdgSDMP-zcc
Run 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdgSDMP-zcc
No videos of run 3
Run 4 (my best of the day)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdgSDMP-zcc
and a scan of my slip:
Couple of pictures of the journey down:
and a picture of the new bumper:
ive got some good pictures on the strip so will hopefully get them uploaded as soon as possible.
got quite a bit interest at the fast show and a certain vauxhall magazine are now wanting to do a feature
oh and ignore the windscreen sticker it was to p!ss off some bellends i upset online at the show
