Charlie

i know i priced the other day as a student being passed a year with being lowered it was about 2500 fully comp:/ but cos i aint been driving a year no one wants to know :(
 
Not got any pictures at the moment but I've been stripping some important and not so important parts to put in the vibe.

Also been stripping parts off the engine with the intention of removing the whole thing and putting it in the vibe
 
Little update

She'll be mappable now :)
 
Really not happy, went to the garage today and all the fabrics are moldy and the car is soaking. Looks like I'm going to have to go leak hunting :(

Right so this was the last real update....

Yet again plans have changed but this is for the better...

Going to putting almost everything back to standard and use Charlie as my daily, so everything will be swapped back from the vibe in/on to Charlie :)

Charlie lives :)
 
She never really died :) I was going to use her as a track car but why destroy a perfectly good car, ok except an oil seal that needs fixing still

The fabrics need a bloody good clean.

Started putting the engine back together again...

AND I still need to do the oil seal lol
 
been looking at corsa b coilovers, even though I promised myself I'd never use them again... Other options are stock k11 shocks with matiz lowering springs or stock matiz shocks with lowering springs... Oh the choices
 
ahh i get you now, no my current setup which I swapped to the Vibe is standard matiz fronts (shocks and springs), standard corsa rear shocks with k11 80mm springs.

I'm looking at getting some uprated front and rear shocks with lowering springs
 
Honestly Karl? Different wheels between front and rear? Multifit? Not my cup of tea, I would prefer to get a set of cheap steelies and paint them silver clean; and get money back selling the rear black alloys (I hate black alloys).
 
each to their own, personally I like them that's why i bought them and for £30 it was cheaper to buy these than to band my steels
 
If it doesnt work then I reckon you could get rid of they wellers for the same as what you bought them for if not more, take the risk ;)
