[moffat]

[vaughanmc]

Not too bad looking fella, plans sound nice as well :)

[moffat]

cheers man

[moffat]

anyone know if a digi dash can be fitted to one of these?

[let_nova]

yes but looks untidy

[vaughanmc]

Told you that!

Corsa Sport 1600 16v clocks with orange needles look the best in a Corsa

[moffat]

quite tempted to fit one as i had one in the nova looked really smart

[moffat]

aye vaughan i couldnt find ant at scrappies lol al keep looking

[vaughanmc]

Thought you weren't going to bodge anything else lol ?

[moffat]

im not. in total vauxhall im sure a seen a corsa with a digi dash fitted lol. ill look for tigra dials

[vaughanmc]

I was talking to a boy who put one into a Corsa - He said it was the biggest pain in the a*se of a thing to do ever

Had to be moulded into the Corsa clocks and some of the dash cut away to make it fit

Tigra/Sport clocks are on eBay all the time and I think your car will be electrical drive clocks as well (No speedo cable) ?

[moffat]

not had the time to check. nearly had sxi clocks but couldnt remove dash couling due to steering wheel being in the way and didnt have tools to remove it lol.

getting a passenger door on saturday now too :)

[vaughanmc]

You should be able to remove a Corsa dash/clocks without taking the steering wheel off

[moffat]

bottom of the couling got stuck behind the steering wheel ill be down on saturday so will have a look and see what a can do.

whats peoples opions on irmscher splitters - thinking about getting one.

[vaughanmc]

Aye batter one on it mate :thumb:

[moffat]

be mint. archs will be going gloss black, more pics at weekend when i cba taking some

[let_nova]

cheers craig

[moffat]

running my sr steels atm, really cant wait to see how shes going look with my softstars on it, think it will be mint.

[AlexW]

Sport/Tigra clocks WONT work.

You need clocks from a 3 cylinder. Else the rev gauge wont work.

Orange needles are a bitch to see at night.

[moffat]

got the softstars fitted looks awrite atm, fitted my new doors complete with black sport door cards finishes off the interior nicely.

got an induction kit fitted from my old nova for some more noise lol

also fitted sum astra mk4 side reapeters

and painted my v grille black, boot lock silver and fitted rear quarter rub strips.

future plans are rev counter clocks front light eyebrows and a laguna splitter and just drive it daily.

p.s should have another nova soon :D

[Dave.]

It seems alot of people are turning to Corsa's atm lol

Looks good dude, shame its not a more-whore, im the only one supporting them atm :(
