My 2.0 corsa build

[shane corsa]

coilovers turned up yesterday fitted them last night, and booked in at autotest next week to get the camber and everything checked. My brother is a mechanic like myself works at a place called R&R Engines in beccles, so i took my block and crank to be checked and he couldnt believe how good they where for a car thats done a hard 145,000 miles have ordered my piston rings, main bearings and big end bearings so will take some pics when they arrive!

Glad to see that all is going ahead as planned

yeah its getting there took the block to be blasted and acid dipped today, along with the rocker/cambelt/spark plug cover and inlet manifold. jobs for this week are order piston rings and big/main bearings and finish changing the valve stem oil seals and clean the valves and combustion chambers up.

the wheel alignment has been put on hold til monday, due to a wheel bearing gone which i replaced 2 months ago! so that will be getting replaced under warranty on my lunch break tomorow on the plus side my block should be back from being acid dipped and blasted!

all sounds good Shane except the bearing of course noisey buggers when they go aren't they

yeah this one is ridiculous, one of the lads i worked with said hes never heard anything like it in all his 17 years of being a mechanic
