little update picked up these today

so after everything something went my way, means i can get the pistons and crank back in. So tomorow night me and my brother are going to re-hone the block, put the pistons and crank in, then get the clutch and flywheel on along with bottom pulley and its ready to be balanced!

gave her a clean at the weekend and took a more up to date pic of her with the coilovers on, i just caught coming over the speed bumps at snetterton

all the block has had new core plugs fitted and been painted blue, going to order my oil pump this week, then get the sump cleaned and fitted along with a baffle plate and thats the bottom end done.

Looking good buddy..

Are you intending tracking the corsa?? if so think twice about 8j's with stretched tyres

bennyboy yes i am planning on tracking it and i wouldnt use them bandeds, i would have different wheels for track use, they would be show only (i'd be to scared to get them dirty)

just a small update pistons are in

next on the list is oil pump, lightened flywheel and bottom pulley, clutch kit and then get the bottom end balanced.
anyone suggest any good places that lighten flywheels?
