Not to critise another excellent thread but that passenger side looks a lot more powerful than the drivers

If anything it should be the other way round as the drivers side jet is nearest the pump - I think its just the angle the camera was at , which caught the spray in the light from the headlight. In real life they spray about the same.Originally Posted by Graeme
Sunday update...
Got two of the back seats out and cracked open the fuel tank. Reinstated the intank filter to see if this stops the cutting out under low fuel levels. I also directed the return fuel pipe into the swirl pot too....
Once all back together I replaced the poly spring seats with the normal rubber ones...
Also sourced some 5mm spacers for the rear....
Can't really see they make that much difference at the rear....
Also put these on which I sourced last year, the jury is out , not so sure....
Also needed to fix my lighting in the garage. I'm running T12 tubes, which were last made in 2011, so having to replace the guts so I can run T8 tubes ...
This is where the new ballast lives..
Once all wired up ....
I've done 2 units at the weekend, I have 3 more to do, once another T12 tube fails another unit will get done and so on until I'm fully T8 converted.

All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one PepsiFar from suicidalStill I get them tendenciesBringing back them memories
That I really miss when I reminisce
As mentioned the jury is out on these - I'll have them on for next week then decide at the weekend, however I'm currently leaning towards removing them.

I thought it must be something like camera trickery
We're you happy with the nova mirror covers you won on eBay ?
any updates?
Quick update,
I've decided. The decals in the rear window are going.
I also ordered a new crank oil seal today from Vauxhall in preparation for the gearbox and flywheel removal. The oil leak is still present so will need to change the crank seal over Easter, weather permitting. It's using about 1/2 a litre per 250 miles, whilst although not drastic, needs fixing as I can't run around with it constantly dripping, plus the underside of the car is getting quite moist in places!
Also picked this up last week off ebay - a Corsa VXR dbilas flowmaster - it has the inlet and outlet in just the right places to make it mate up to the pipes in situ, just need to make a bracket up.
I've already cleaned the K&N filter inside and re-oiled it with K&N filter oil.
On a side note, the wife's Meriva is now at 107k. She does about 18k pa due to her job so next year we will need to change her car. The Meriva's have been breeding...
(We now have 5 3/4 Vauxhall's at our house now!)
Picked this up from a chap in Scarborough at the weekend...
It's a cat C and needs some front end work, but generally a nice and tidy car and has done about 47k....
Believe it or not the aircon system was still gassed and holding pressure!
I stripped the front end down to make it more presentable...
Engine bed has a dint, but the chassis legs are straight. Just needs a wing, bonnet, bumper (and bar) and headlamps. I already have the bumper from my Meriva and the rest of the parts I will round up over the coming months.
A collection of bent parts...
