James827 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 One of my friends Noticed I Had a rubber bung on my back window. 'What does this doo?' - and then he Pushed it in. I could not find the bung so stuck some fuzzy thing over it till it stopped raining. he fell off leaving his feet Re Wipered now. also, due to this weather I've been unable to Clean, and with the Mucky welsh Side roads its a bit Minging.

caryleighton Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Corsa B shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yep!hopefully it will take up the slack on my new springs and it would be comfy. my only worry is the opposite of popping them from being too low, but ripping the tops off them! il find out tommorow mind.half tempted to get the rear springs and adjusters as-well (corsa but i would probably get mad reverse rake!there a pretty close fit on the bottom, the bolts got a Minute amount of play but i think ive got a way to sort that, and ive got a bag of washers to make sure it dosent move from side to side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north wales loop Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Corsa springs won't fit. And you may find those shocks too soft ( i talk from personal experience) I am now waiting on a set of corsa gaz adjustable dampening shocks witch should work .

James827 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 im not looking for it to be super track stiff, i want everyday comfort i think it would be okay for that i guess. i was offered some corsa b Avo adjustable ones but i cant afford it ahahdo you think il pop the tops off them? (Ta tehcnix rear springs, so adjusters or cap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north wales loop Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 ey? don't understand what you are trying to say lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 ey? don't understand what you are trying to say lolwhat about popping the tops off the shocks or the other stuff? im worried that the springs will be compressed more and put the shocks under pressure (with the wheels off the ground - shocks at highest point and springs under compression)and one day I will go over a bump and the shock will just fall to bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 right o. got some bubbles in me fuel so i changed the filter and there still there but much smaller. (could not cause a change in MPG)also now my alternator belt has started slipping which is why my battery died the other day.i have a new belt and i will fill up the car to the brim.if i do less that 400 miles on that tank then i will be seriously considering returning to standard, selling and buying an Ibiza 6K2 TDI. much more power and not much difference in price.Might talk myself out of this but this cars really Pee'd me off in the past few days. I love driving the thing but if its not one thing its another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thooooom Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 It's the same for everyone dude, my cars never wrong, something's always broken, I do 230 miles to a tank so find yourself lucky. Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Righto. little updateI've been doing some math. To run my car (minus fuel and other problems)And also to modify and touch up it to how I want it is going to cost me in the reigion of £1600. so..Do I carry on with this, just enjoy the economy, build up my Ncb and do things properly second time around? OrrBuild up a turbo diesel mk2. Which would cost what I could get for this and my insurance would be a bit more (1200) but I would have a bigger faster car.I seem to be having a full car quite often so a bigger car would be better, but I can see me missing the lupo. It's become my trademark. HmmAlso I'm picking up my new wheels on the weekend gunna do a quick DIY and run them for a month and see if they sit how I want, and either sell them on or refurb them to a higher standard....Who knows what's gunna happen. But either way im going to start saving now. Watch this space I guess.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James827 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Yeah man you too, and i had to shoot too, i got home at 9 ahaha been driving for 8 hours. ishi did 300 miles and used 'Quarter of a tank' and I was not being as steady on the way back ahabut yeah, il be trying them on tommorow.. and then raising the car up and running them for a bit. i think people can tell what ive bought now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Busy day. Spent most of the day fighting with a vento. and then tried on my new wheels. Also, ive Lowered it a tad since any last update needs a wash and tracking..lol lopsided8j fronts loooli also need to raise my car back up, so i can have my rear seats back, because I seems to just bung everything in there with the seats down. and its a bit messy..FYI. corsa B rear shocks hold the springs in very well, but unless you get uprated ones your wheels will be rubbing on the top of your arch liners like mine! the wheels were also swiftly removed as they need spigots, and they did not clear my brake calliper so i need spacers!I also need a tyre of two as some of them are Questionable.they will probably be going Black or Grey centres and Polished dish! i have plenty of time over winter to sort this might also swap for the RH Classics on my buddied vento. so who knows. both will need a bit of tlc before im happy with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
