[rossgamble1987]

Bought a set of dampers on ebay today brand spankin new,
They look like there for a nova/corsa but the seller wasnt sure,
Do you fink this was a good move and if they dont fit much you fink id get for them if i was to sell them on???

Plus uve placed an add in Flat to the Mat this week or next for suzuki and other parts wanted,
Anyone else have anything interesting this week???

[fatboymotorsport]

what sort of dampers ? i might have a set of bilstein sport dampers there fixed platform struts seem to be in good nick let me know if ure intrested ill root them out.

[rossgamble1987]

Yeah no problem much you want for them would they do for motorsport??

As i was say i think they dampers i bought for the rear will fit if not was wondering much id get for they they are bilstien brand new?

I am interested in those front dtruts PM me or ring 02871398020 im up from 6:00pm till late tomorow lol

[rossgamble1987]

hoping to run my corsa/swift kinda standard for a few sprints around ahadowey forty quid entry rallys to see what the car fells like if everthing goes my way ill have the car finished october 05

[fatboymotorsport]

have you come across anywhere selling cheap stuff to kit out ure car
im in the process of building a corsa as well and looking for cheap stuff
sick of ebay there is too much shit$ on it and its too popular anything good goes for way to much money

[rossgamble1987]

same problem sir nothing no where just you man at www.eurorallye.co.uk is alright has a good tranx f10 5 speed gear kit for sale 500 quid im going for a cc standard one for a few runs first any word on those struts or are you for keeping them

[fatboymotorsport]

i'll have a look at them tommorow im at work 4 d night now i dont know if there is a full set or only the front but the look new enuff i ran the same setup on a 205 and the were grand.
going to have a look at the gaz set up that pro-tech do it looks good a good bit cheaper that bilstein
have you converted ure axle to discs yet i have caviler brakes on the front only drums on back looking for a handy way out dont like the whole cutting and welding as its a very critical area

[rossgamble1987]

Thats where i made the ,istake go for Rear golf Gti calipers as ive been told that the corsa rear stub axel is the same as the gti Golfs im only after front ones anyway but if you have a full set no prblem if you get any give me a ring anytime on 07814219515.

I got mine converted for chav brakes it was a good job but i should of went for golf instead what size of engine are you usein ?aslo tell me everything about your corsa so far anything you need gimma a shout i may have some contacts or seen somethoing around good luck

i didnt get most of that last one but did u buy a engine did u make ure mind up if its going to be a swift or vaux there is a lot of work in changing it to swift im getting my car done in a few weeks ill let you know how it goes

[rossgamble1987]

Im sending payment for the engine on friday the 2nd or 9th and it will be a week or two befor ei get the engine delivered!

Im going for a Swift on 40 webbers and getting it remapped reprofiled cams and a racing Clutch assembly,
And thats about it really, getting adapter plate of walden Eng and a Compitition engine mounting to suit the swift engine swap!!
Prob run a CR box for a few events till i get the cash for a pro Quife my bet is there will be a few striped cogs lol finger crossed!

As i said the car is getting resprayed soon so all money at the minute plus Drivin test is on monday week!!!!

[fatboymotorsport]

what type of a cr box u getting the quaife box is the only cr box out there i take it you mean a standard box out of a sri or gsi.
i heard bad things about that crowd heard of a lad waiting 6 months for an adaptor plate so make sure the have it b4 u give them any money.dont waste ure money on a competition pressure plate and release bearing just use good quailty oem stuff and fit a solid centered paddle clutch montgomery is the best value on these.
Good luck with the test.

[rossgamble1987]

Thanks trev yeah the gearbox i mean is the f13 out of a sri but they are cr (am i wrong)???
Thanks for advise and Luck my need it lol
