I should have a bit of an update within the next few days.

Things have been sidetracked a little as I decided to tackle some changes to the rear end of the car, which I'd been thinking about doing for a long while, to save a bit more weight and relocate the anti-roll bar, which will allow me to fit a bigger rear diffuser;

That's all been cut away now (still to comply with the Modified Production Regulations for hillcimbs);

Got one of these as well, so more modifying ensues;

Up on sill stands to make it a little bit easier to work on (in the absence of a 2-post lift);

Looking good Colin, where are you mounting the RARB, back to the body?
Love the CAE, have been looking at one for mine for a while, it is a proper opel one or another model adapted? Love to know what you think to the shift quality and feel
Hi Ben,
There's a couple of options for mounting the ARB, but I think it may end up being attached to the original rear spring platforms.
The CAE is the proper Corsa A set-up, installation isn't going to be quite as straightforward as it should be due to my engine/gearbox being lowered.
I needed to remove the exhaust manifold today, so thought I'd post up a few photos;

What a pleasure to work on with V-band connectors.
Lots of work happening here Colin; some extreme body mods behind the rear suspension - Is it going to be boxed off then some carbon inners?
Manifold is sexytime no doubt! And the shifter too! If / when I revise the manifold then I have V bands to go on; makes perfect sense.
Manifold looks lovely, the bump on the secondary to create an equal length?
Do you find the V band clamps easy to get on and off? ill be upgrading my system in the next couple of months and wonder if these are the best way to go....
A slightly more constructive way to spend a rainy New Year's Eve;
