I've heard of bulkhead fouling issues too with carbs/trumpets on the x14/x16 too.Quote:

I ran an astra x16xel inlet pipe on mine, much smoother/direct than the oddly shaped corsa/tigra item.
My sell the 40s on then, and make plans for a inlet box.
Nice thread Ad, just sat and read it all. If I was to redo mine it'd be very similar to this!
Cheers Paul :)
Later this summer i might see about getting two arch lip repair panels fitted to completely sort the bodywork :)
Superb thread and update mate...car looks stunning...all the money spent in the right places;)...
Cant wait to PV to see this little beast in the flesh:)

Cheers mate.
Just ordered some new number plates(the old ones are fooked, and mouldy(nearly failed mot on them,Lol)
Also got a Flat F13 type Flywheel to replace the hefty pot one that came on the 16v, saves about 4kg in weight.
Ive also made up a wiring loom, using the car side of the corsa ecu plug(so it plugs in), also spliced in the immobiliser pickup. Now just needs to be wired into the car(6wires), and everything should work. Might do the wiring sometime soon, as thats one less job to do when engine goes in, and it'll then just plug in :D
Just got to have the tyres put on the white Cesaro's and respray the bumpers, and it'll be sorted for pv.
Ive just refitted both wipers back on too, in place of the single wiper, got a bit annoying with the wiper half way up the screen. I might refit it if i can find a nice looking single wiper arm.
New plates have arrived, look much better than the old original ones.
Front bumpers been resprayed(haven't really got the weather to do the rear one :( ) So that'll stay as it is.
Got to get the mobile tyre fitter out here in a bit to get the tyres swapped onto the new rims.
Also, engine is completely built up, sorted the alternator situation, so it now runs a single V setup :)
Just need a gsi exhaust system now to make the downpipe hopefully bolt up when the engine goes in :)
nice work mate, cant wait to see it at PV
and as for the 40s, sell them me ;)
40s will be for sale after pv ;)
Might ebay them tho and hope for stupid money lmao
Just list them with a bonkers power claim... They'll go for a song!
