Progress thread of my Corsa D

Suppose I should have put Aussies not included! Lol!

No Va is Spanish for "It Doesn't Go"

"No" meaning "Doesn't", "Va" meaning "It Goes"

"presente - Then go along to "Ud./él/ella" and notice the word "va" - to make it negative you just put "no" infront of it = No Va

cavalier, signum and the senator too

That corsa is stunning!! How come you got rid of a VXR, and then made a non vxr, actuallly look like a VXR if you dont mind me asking?

Nevertheless, it looks awesome!!

I loved everything about the VXR except for the £13 pound a day I was on petrol.

So making the diesel one look like a VXR seemed the sensible thing to do. :thumbup1:

Decided to restore the Corsa back to its former glory as its been neglected the past wee while (Really since the 200 came along lol). Have taken delivery of some goodies this week to start the restoration off:





KW Inox V1s.





Forge DTS bar.

These are both being fitted tomorrow and words cannot describe my excitement at finally getting the knackered suspension replaced.

Things are not all good though. Theres a loud humming when driving the car on the motorway above 50mph. Could be wheel bearings (Again) or something else. I reckon something else cause when I press the clutch down at 70mph the noise goes away. So might be a bearing on the gearbox. Tis booked in @ Vxl on Thursday to be looked at.

Cheers bud.

Well they are now on the car.

Well what can I say. Its like driving a new car (If you can ignore the constant droning wheel bearings :lmao.

No more spongey/squigey suspension and boy does it look good. Just finished washing her so heres 2 pics (Taken with iPhone) of how she looks:





Thats them wound almost half way down. Think it looks perfect now. Gets rid of the high rake (Rear end high) angle the car used to have. I've to let them settle for a few weeks then take it back and be adjusted if required.

Will break out the DSLR once the workies have left (Feel stupid taking pics of the car with people watching lol).

The KWs for the Corsa arent as expensive as the ones for the Clio which is good. A whole £150-£200 cheaper.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but..

if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the new indicator surrounds, VXR rear bumper and the colour coded V grill?

Indicator surrounds are like 15 quid I think. VXR rear bumper was 100 off eBay though now people charge a lot more. Was 50 quid for the v grille to be painted at a local body shop.
