    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);







    Revised rear anti-roll bar fitment commences;

    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
    If Carlsberg did Motor clubs, then IDMC would probably be the best motor club in the world.

    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....

    The bump is for driveshaft clearance.

    V bands are amazingly easy to use, highly recommended.
