    From H&R i get my new shock absorbers in the next 2 weeks.
    The Corsa gets new front and rear bumper and the lightweight doors from fearless wants here way to the corsa, too.

    So any time is gone but now the rebuild is over and the new suspension is installed.





    The Corsa is now 6cm lower than with the old RML (Extreme Technology) dampers and i saved over 6kg. ;-)








    The first race this year is done and the times was good. i was in the top 3 of 12 competitior in my class.


    For the next time, i want to reduce the weight of the corsa.


    So i'm looking for lightweight Bonnet and Tailgate and a Vauxhall Corsa GSI front bumper mk1.


    I need from the bumper the grill with the vauxhall logo. If anyone have a front bumper from the mk1 pm me, please. The Bumper can be broken, i only need the grill with the black plastic.

    I'm in Billing this year and so i can pick up some parts there, if any one have anything


    Thanks

    Are you bringing the corsa?
    If Carlsberg did Motor clubs, then IDMC would probably be the best motor club in the world.

    Hi Boffer,

    i'm sorry, but this year i don't plan it.

    To get the corsa to england i need a sponsor I asked last year a few Vauxhall dealer but no one was interesting for a small sponsorship. If i bring the Corsa back to england, so i want to combine it with an event. Hillclimb, Sprint oder Auto-X. Or Goodwood. ;-)

    Has anyone a good connection to the Goodwood Festival of Speed? I'm thinking about to drive there. A little history has the Corsa, too. :-)

    I made a small flyer for the Sponsors.

    By the way, last week wins Kris Meeke his second WRC Rally for Citroen. The former driver of my Corsa



    I was so happy for him. :-)

    Update to the Corsa and my season




    I finished the season on third in my class and 28. overall in the german championship. With this result i'm very happy. The bigger wheels and the new suspension works fine.


    Now i start to maintenance the Corsa and it get some updates. The biggest update is the new lightweight parts.


    So i will fit new Doors, tailgate, bonnet und polycarbonat windows on it. At the moment the parts are in the building process and i hope that i can fit it next month.


    After this, the Corsa get a new design.
