    Default Corsa Vegas 1.4 Project, College Runabout

    Thought id start up a project thread as its going to be a long running one :D

    Bought her like this on 23rd of june for £80 cash, has no keys currently but hoepfully itll be running soon, its a 1.4 5dr corsa vegas, cracking little car, and will do me ideal for getting to work and back in rather than abusing the nova :D

    As i bought her:




    Today i fitted my dvd player, astra gsi steering wheel, my nova sri steel wheels, a smalle xhaust tip and de-badged the boot, currently looks liek this:








    Hopefully getting her running tomorrow, apaprently its just had a replacement engine put in, so hopefully no nasty nocks and bangs

    i know, tbh its a pretty solid little car, doesnt run though so ive either got to change the module, ecu and key off another 1.4 8v corsa, or just get a key cut for around £40, but seen as how Mally gives me free bits, would be silly not to try the pikey method

    You will need to replace ecu/ignition pickup/key chip,as they are a matched set.....
    And you dont have the chip for the ignition key.....
