Multiple projects by Johnny

Got boot all tidied up and 6x9s installed



Next is belts and get seats bolted in

[johnny]

As of today the corsa is taxed and insured just waiting on a date for test

First run out this morning and after about 5 mile the mid pipe broke [emoji38] so hoping to get some pipe tomorrow and make up a new race tube and start to tune the engine in

Forgot how scary standard corsa suspension is [emoji38] But once the new rubber arrives for the gsi stepdowns it'll get lowered and tracking sorted

[johnny]

Exhaust was completely bodged together and smashed in to make it fit, the mid pipe was a very bad 'custom' made pos

I was in such a mood about it I didn't take pics or anything but I had to just cut any f*ucked pipe and welded my race tube straight on, probably regret it later on when I go to change it but I just wanted it sorted

[johnny]

Pic of exhaust work
the wire was just to keep it still while the weld cooled
sitting abit tighter to the bumper than I wanted but it doesn't seem to be burning it so I'm happyish


Just a quick vid of how it sounds

[johnny]

Cam belt snapped [emoji24] [emoji24]

I'll update later on whether I'm a lucky bastard or not

Going to go fit a new belt at the side of the road at lunch time and hope for the best

[johnny]

Well got the belt fitted and sadly today wasn't my lucky day[emoji24]

so 4 hours later it looked like this,



14 out of 16 valves just shat themselfs, bit disappointed I didn't get all 16 but it'll make a nice table anyway

Hopefully be up and running by Friday

[johnny]

Finding a cylinder head is proving a lot harder than I expected, can't even find a 1.6 vec b starting to notice the B's getting scarce now

Even worse I can't find anywhere that sells inlet valves

Going to keep looking over the weekend and then I'll just buy a z14xe head and take the valves out of it

[stanc3w0rks]

Got a 1.2 8v head that boiled over really bad [emoji38]

I've a 20ne here you could throw it it save scrapping it [emoji14]

[stanc3w0rks]

Shell is a bit rusty. I have a 2door 1.2 16v though that might be getting a conversion so that could be a plan. Is it just a bare engine you have?

It's in a calibra , but couldn't say if anythings off it, might ruin my sale here but I've never heard it run, when I got it I was told it ran but I never even tried to fire it

Do you have a key for it? Im going to try get a b204 but if not I will keep you in mind as a 20ne would be a much easier swap. Just a shame its not a turbo [emoji14] wont be getting anything for awile yet as I need to find a house with a garage first.

I did but I'd need to search for it [emoji38] it'd want a fresh belt before its started because it's been lying up for a while now

I'd love to do a saab turbo but I know I'd just get fed up with it and it'd take a year before I'd finish it [emoji38]
