This my everyday Astra and my toy Corsa

MaTTwO

This is my little Vauxhall fleet

My astra is for everyday, with the Corsa for the fun sunday afternoons. Unfortunatly the astra is standard but i was reading a few of your posts how to get power out of them and its tempting..... the plan was to keep it standard though.

How many of us have said that 😃

I appreciate this is a z22se forum but i hope you dont mind i've put some pics up of the Corsa too

Coupe looks great.

What spec is the corsa it looks a right little machine and the engine bay looks ace. The only thing that i would do the Corsa would CC the Bump strips and other plastics.

astra looks very nice 8)

corsa is mint, the only thing wrong with it is no cambelt cover, I had a stone snap a cambelt because there was no cambelt cover, get one fitted cheers..

What is it with all the clean engine bays around here? You guys have way too much time.

Do you not have women?

That little Corsa engine bay looks sweet.

Bloody hell, that's a right list of parts you have there for the Corsa. What BHP is that pulling then?

The standard XE makes 150bhp. Aslong as it makes that i'll be happy, anymore will just be a bonus.

It took me and my dad almost a year to build the engine and the car all together, its not your typical corsa2.0 built in a weekend. Saying that though it was a learning curve as the last engine swap he did was when he was my age and that was on a mini 😃 and i had never done anything like this.
