well I've been speaking to ian (beatz) on tgtt and he reckons he can sort out my current bottom end so that would save me hassle. means i could stick it back up for sale in a week or 2.

aye hopefully this is the end of my bad luck lol. engine will be mint after this lol top end was done 2 months ago lol

looks better than i imagined jezza! my favourite GT!

thanks jezza your sum man! I've been speaking to some1 who might be up for fixing the bottom end for me. im also doing a job for a guy with a recovery truck:D he picked up that forged corsa for us. could get him to take the car to ian to get fixed:D hopefully get it back next week, sort out the fuelling and put it back up for sale and get my hands on a 4wd beast!

i think im just gonna replace the engine and rebuild the other 1 for the 4x4.. if i buy 1 now! just gutted really after just having the top end done and all the bodywork sorted and a lot of other bits n bobs then getting a fresh mot on it and finding a buyer. now the fucking bottom end has gone!

i know what you mean mate but with the way im feeling now i know if i do say anything to the guy he will annoy me and ill end up rolling about with him. cant be arsed with that. i couldnt care less about there reputation nor does he as he only works in the place hes still getting paid.

but lets be honest i cant prove they did anything to it or took it out. theres no way id get them to foot the bill. i could break his nose but thats not gonna fix the car

but i dont know if he has been out in it thats the thing. i obviousley drove it that night and everything was fine. the next day i drove it to finish off a little job and as i pulled up at the job the car cut out, i started it up again and parked and it cut out again so i popped the bonnet and had a look to see if i could see anything wrong, gave it a little rev and heard it knocking a little but not very loud. got the car home and now its getting louder but doesnt knock on idle or smoke or under 3k rpm. Took it today to see greame for his verdict and when i got there it was getting worse and louder as but still not on idle or until around 2k rpm.

i dont want to break the car i dont have the patience for it and tbh i cant be arsed, i just spent a lot of time and money fixing up all the niggly bits on it plus renewing the mot a couple of days ago. things where looking good and the car was running mint then all of a sudden it sounds like a lawn mower going over stones

after spending a lot of money getting my car up to scratch to sell it, and passing the mot the other day with flying colours the engine has now started knocking from what we believe to be the bottom end:( i had a buyer for the car and everything and was sorting out buying an ep95 for which i have a backroom full of parts and loads of shit on the way for it from the bodykit to a turbo kit. Gutted is not the word. Now i need to make a decision. do i rebuild the current engine? or buy another engine and put that in then forge my own engine for the 4x4? or do i sell the car as spares or repair or break it. i still cant understand what has caused the bottom end to go, the head gasket was just done 2 months ago and its been regularly serviced and ther is fresh oil in the car, even with the knocking im not getting any smoke or anything, the car doesnt get thrashed at all either, ive barley drivin the car since the head was done but i did have it out for a blast the day before the MOT and everything was fine, dropped the car off the next morning for MOT and went to work, finished late about half 7 that night and picked the car back up at around 8. makes me wonder what the mot tester has been doing, hes a young guy with a 2ltr corsa. anyway ill stop rabbling what do u guys think i should do?

i used to have a radio code generator on my computer years ago, u type in the radios serial number and it gives u the code. i cant remember where i gt it from tho mate but im sure u could find something similar

thanks mate, aye hes a big boy now lol

top work on the rocker cover mate looking great and the intercooler will look awsome there but pipework could be a bit of an eye sore. i remember a little nova with twin C20LET's and part of the roll cage was the intercooler pipework. that could be an option to keep things tidy?

about time u changed your username stevie wonder

what happend to my post in here?

i would speak to your tuner about it before you turn up for the mapping sesion, maybe he could sort out the mani on the day as well as map it

keep up the good work ryan this little car is coming on really well, wish i had a car like that for my first car. wont be long now till u can actually drive the thing.

defo get a new mani mate, I've rewelded mine about 4 times now and it just keeps cracking its not worth the hassle, i wish i baught another 1 rather than repairing it all those times

I've got shit loads of work on today but if i can get finished early enough im going up for another look at it, if im going to have to pour money into it ill prob leave it. dont want to throw money at a corsa that i could throw at my next starlet. but if its not too bad ill take it, will let u know graeme

ohh u dont know the half of it sparky you cant even see the glittery paintwork in the pics or the black painted dash also with glitter haha

im not too sure where it was dyno'd rory ill have a good look around it and the paperwork on saturday, i will obv insure it for what it is im no that stupid and i wont be taking my son anywhere near it! i will prob take it anyway its worth a lot more in bits than what im paying and the engine is in properly and it was a solid little car. my mate ross kicked its hole for a year solid after he rebuilt it but it needs a lot of shit for the mot.

i should have mentioned how i found this lol, the car belonged to a mate of mine, his mate did all the work to it and there are reciepts, he ran it into the ground and had to replace shit loads then there was a wiring problem (which the current owner has sorted) my mate was also running a 225 megane and the corsa was just for a laugh then it came to mot time and he didnt have the money for everything to be done and it sat about for a while, got clamped then he sold it. i was speaking to him today and he took me up to see the guys new evo and i spotted the valver up the drive, asked if it was forsale and he said yes!

i dont really care what it looks like tbh its just for a laugh. as long as the clamp situation doesnt cost me money im having it. its only for a runabout till i get the next starlet plus i could tart it up a bit and sell it on and put the money into the build need to tint the front windows so no 1 sees me tho lol

lol im pretty confident it would beat most starlets if its running right, its 186atw

you can when they have no brakes,no mot and angel eyes and lexus lights and glitter in the paint lol
