Cut out the wheel well?

Was thinking more along the lines of autograss cars Stani, cut out the whole rear floor & replace with two wishbones, instant fully independant suspension & alot less weight... then recover the boot floor with an alloy pannel ;)

hmm food for thought :)
i have in mind a simpler 3 point axle like the N16, instead of the 5 point stock axle

Good plan frank, taking an idea from that & saving the boot floor i wonder if you could rig a wishbone from the two trailing arm points & use the turret for a coil over :) maybe join them across with a rose jointed tube, il have to get to the drawing board!

Do the corsa rear dampers just bolt on?

Increases the compression ratio Chris by reducing the space left when the piston is at the top of it's stroke.

Does that mean that when the fuel ignites its in a smaller area squared. Thus giving more power out put. Would that be torque.. no more ... what's the word.. like the force in which the piston is shot back?

4 hrs maybe, 1st timer :) my inlet mani only has the easy accessible 6 bolts in (the 2 underneath are a basturd, and were binned) but you can lift the head with both mani,s attached if you want :)
 
It's not really to clean tho. First you have to shampoo it, then polish it, and then this product (which is not abrasive at all and will feed your paint with resin after an abrasive polish)
 
Yes you will save time and products ;) I think you need at least 3 hours to wash/dry/polish/wax and you can't skip one of those taste if you don't want to waste your job:

Thread confirming Super Resin Polish is just a "filler":

and that it wont remove swirls/scrathes (bottom of the page):

Why does that sound like its going to get expensive lol. :D
 
I've edited my previous reply, yes it's expensive and time consuming :( I'm thinking about buying a machine... but the black paint is so soft I'm a bit scary to mess it up... maybe the white one is less sensitive!
Black cars = sexy nightmare
