I like these spring loaded corsa turrets, don't have to use an allen key with lining gears up
No mention of who put you onto the stick and turret mods, I am disappointed :(
A few more direct comparison pictures of the early and late turrets in my build diary over on Astra-mk2.com click me.
Get the pics up from Monday then slacker!!!
update?
Have either you or Harvey actually checked that Part Number on EPC?Quote:

Figured the '90' number would be a Vauxhall part number? Hmmmm.
Went to Blyton Park on Monday and only just got round to sorting an update. Over-all successful day, new Millers brake fluid and Wilwoods felt epic with DS3000s in, and the rear discs performed excellently and did exactly what I wanted of them as an upgrade.
One slight off (vid below) where the rear brakes locked up on me, but I adjusted the bias on my inline adjuster and they were perfect afterwards. Also did a session on a totally flat tyre and all that happened was it understeered a bit turning right, crazy Michelins they must be pretty strong to not rip it off the tyre!
Oil pressure is dropping off after about 10 mins despite the temps sitting still at 110c so possibly looking into a better oil pump (z20let upgrade?)
Prep wise, I set it up with 1mm toe out and trial fitted the slicks, that's all:

10 minutes toe out equates to 1mm:

Couple of videos of the day, nothing too interesting though!
Spin out when the rear brakes locked up and sent me off:
