astra coupe edition.

[corsaZ22se]

seeing this gets me thinking about a 2.2 turbo corsa

 

[figo126]

get it done pal , hopefully it will be done for pvs rockingham, crossing my fingers,,,,,,,,,,

 

[corsaZ22se]

need working legs first!
i have ordered another B207R though

 

[figo126]

while waiting for my ecu to come back from holiday ? ive made a plate for the rear engine mount that fits to the sump on the b207 and welded to the astra g subframe , hopefully helping the other engine mounts with the extra power ,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

[evocarlos]

Is it ready yet? Lol

 

[figo126]

got her running Friday afternoon , got a little helper ( tofferson) , but water pump shat itself , so stuck hose pipe into header tank , we got her running really nice , just when revved over 4000 rpm it started to run 2- 3 pots ??? , turn engine off restart ticked over lovely again , guessing it needs me to down load the info off the ecu and send to peter in Holland, I'm guessing hes set it up rich for first start up, new genuine water pump coming tomorrow , so hopefully I can get it running over weekend, and what a pain it is to remove water pump still in the car , and the special tool that fits where the little cover is held on with 4 bolts ,,,,,,what a pain , need hands of a 4 year old , wont be making that mistake again new waterpump on new builds from now on,,,,,,

 

[evocarlos]

i have huge hands and i hate doing the water pumps on the z20nets some idiot put a turbo in the way lol
bet its going to be a right pain in the astra now you have that saab rear engine mount on to

 

[figo126]

yes pal , I removed the rear mount and the drive shaft , and yes youre right some daft twat put a turbo in the way,,,,,,,,,,,,

so engine is running but needs a learning session to fine tune the fueling but mot ran out in march , so booked in Friday for mot , I planed to use my genuine wheels for a while but ive fitted my brembo 4 pots and its not going to happen , so had to unwrap my gsi alloys that I had reconditioned and had to buy a 10mm spacers for them to fit , not much clearance but they fit,,,,,,

According to hearsay the second pvs show figo126 has been cancelled ian, and well done looks good n i bet it shifts just as good as it looks.

 

[corsaZ22se]

not surprised as it's so close to Trax date and late in season.
