Are they pulling the L200 too? It has a pretty good market share in the UK, would be strange to drop the commercial side of things

I've had corsa b 's and c and I loved both of them. The c looks well with the z20let in almost factory bet it goes well too. What power is it running? Not sure on the power, probably around 220, it needs a decat and fuel pump then can be remapped for 300ish Next up is alignment following the coilovers then some proper tyres to replace the ditchfinders

Might be of interest to some, others will whinge its not retro...its over 16 years old so chill Anyway, been on with it a while, Z20LET conversion, VXR turbo, injectors, big intercooler, F23 gearbox etc. Everything works as it should, drives like it came out of the factory. It was originally a 1.4 SRI, low miles, no rust or body issues at all, just the usual stone chips. Been doing some things lately, Irmscher grill, 308mm C hook discs with DS2500 pads, AFR gauge, Gaz Gold coilovers, leather interior, flat bottom steering wheel.

This seems well out side the bounds of what is appropriate on a car build fella. Can we steer it in a more vehicular direction thanks. that’s what makes Grizz’s posts so interesting Bloke seems quite immature, probably needs a kick up the but then I wouldnt expect a landlord to be so controlling

I used to always want one when they first came out, we had one as a company car in Kenya I think it was, the interior was made of wheely bins and everything rattled, which was annoying and I remember the auto box being tragic as well as the suspension clattering through every pot hole

Jewish Racing Gold, the fastest color De-cat and side exit pipes in the plans? Assuming you are addressing me, the colour, I get. Not chopping the pipes, living with raucous pipes is not the same as hearing a cool truck go buy and getting a hardon. I love the sound but could not drive 100 miles like that, like Flingstam found with his Deliboy. Yes, it's your thread so... Unless your sitting at full chat 100% of the time it wont bother you. I had an old Ram with decats and side pipes, sounded brilliant when pushing on but just pootling about it wasnt intrusive at all

Bridge 341 has now been installed and trains are running over it. This has been designed, made and installed in about 30 weeks ....and at a cost of about £250,000. There are trains running (book on-line) this weekend and the griddle car service can also be booked for the first time. There is another "Zoom" presentation on the Re-Unification project Sunday Sept 27th, details on the GCR website. Cleveland Bridge built it, remember looking at the job not so long ago

I hate Wasps, hateful little thugs. We have a lot of moles in our garden which I have struggled to get rid of because of the dogs, we are currently in a truce as they stick to one end of the garden and we stick to the other but the mole holes are a haven for the yellow pestilence that is Wasp. Tried many things to get rid of them but can thoroughly recommend home made Napalm. Quite simple to make - get a glass jar, I used a pickle jar, and half fill with petrol. Then stick polystyrene foam into the petrol and keep adding until you have a gloopy jelly. DO NOT GET THIS ON YOURSELF! Get a metal tube and identify the entry point to the evil lair. Administer a pint or two of petrol through the tube into the wasp hole. Then get the napalm - it doesn't stick to glass for some reason but sticks to everything else - and pour this into the hole. I used a long metal rod to force it into the hole. By this time the evil thugs will be recovering from the fumes of the petrol so time too introduce Mr. Fire. I used the metal rod, wrapped a bit of news paper around the end and lit it with my blow lamp. Light the Napalm with the fire rod and stand back. After a few moments the Napalm will light the petrol that is deep within the Lair and with the most satisfying dull thud will turn the nest, lava, and all of the wasps into vapour. It burns for about an hour - well my concoction did - and after a week am pleased to announce that I no longer have a wasp problem. Even the moles are conspicuous by their absence.... Always more than happy to be a part of the slaughter. P. __________________ Did you see the video of the bloke that did this and took out a gas pipe?
