    Nice brake set up.

    I want to able to drive the Corsa a on the street and to make it street legal I need to get the car registered with an 2ltr engine.. Over here(NL) you need get the car inspected by the ''RDW''. The RDW don't really like aftermarket(tuning) parts so to make it easy i want to use as many oem parts as possible..

    this means:

    -oem opel brakes(284mm front brakes)
    -as many oem brake and fuel lines i can fit
    -OEM. ''style'' front sheet metal
    -OEM style front suspension
    -OEM fuel cell
    -OEM nova exhaust
    -OEM glas
    -etc..

    first thing on the list: The tube front

    Because of the tube front, the oem stuff doesn't fit. So the Corsa needs an ''custom'' OEM style front .

    Just been reading about your snapped exhaust stud pal .
    Top trick for next time throw the nut away its not needed and causes more problems than its worth . Turn the power down on the mig welder and keep spotting the head of the stud dont worry the mig will not weld the alloy . If you keep spotting the stud you will end up with a bit that is long enough to get mole grips on . Not only that but the stud will now have been glowing hot so will come out with ease .

    The nut worked eventually and the stud was glowing hot after welding the nut on. Problem was that the stud took the alloy part behind the stud with it when removing the stud. So ended up with an opening to the cooling channel in the cilinder Head..

    It's just to get the car registert with an 2liter engine to avoid problems with insurance etc..
    I will be putting all the aftermarket parts on when the registering is done!

    update:

    Mounted the seats and seatbelts.
    The replica seat dimensions were different to the originel sparco pro 2000's, so i had to adjust the seat an seatbelt mounts.




    orderd an chinalesium handbrake and exchanged the replica mastercilinder(absolute rubbish) for an original AP cilinder.



    mounted all the brakelines etc.
