Hey mmm its called goodna im lodging with the oldies for a while saves me some extra cash for a couple of months

[SAopelgal]

Hahah as for changing the gearbox to auto it needed a new one so i got the auto transmission for free all i needed to get was the correct ECU so i got the last correct one in the whole of South australia :cool:.

I cant wait to go driving up ther mmm i was wondering does the cars have to go for yearly checks at the transport office over there?

I would love to go on the cruise see how everythin works out before i make any commitments thanks for the invite.

[auzvectra]

nah, just for the initial rego, and if u cop a major defect it needs to be checked again ;).

welcome to the site, hope you enjoy ur time and dont be shy to come out on a few cruises i know a few ppl have said it already but come on sunday if u can...nice tidy car and the point is u love ur car thats all that matters..going Auto? never heard that someone wanted to do that but im far from gonna say n e thing as i have an auto hehe


Hey mmm its called goodna im lodging with the oldies for a while saves me some extra cash for a couple of months

OMG DONT DO IT lol, i use to live in redbank plains (which is next to goodna) then brought a house in bellbird park which is closer to goodna u would prolly drive near it without knowing) but i left my partner so not living there, shame could have had another opel girl near me hehe

[SAopelgal]

Ok thisss is how its is ppl,

Little snowflake has already had a Manual to Auto change done on her.

It took me and the old man two days to put the gearbox and thingies in but took us 3 weeks just to work out the electronics ( all we needed was the correct ECU since the 1994-1998 Models have 13 Different Manual ECU's and the Automatic has 3 different ECU's- mmm the haynes manual never ever mention it in theyre book ) since my model is the base model so had to install lots of new goodies.

I would strongly recommend that no one tries to do the change over its like going to hell and back.

i think i had over 200 coffees that month and i spent lots of monies since i had to get a brand new (the only one in adelaide left) heavy duty radiator i had to use my charm to get a bit off the price paid $200 for it instead of $260 god i love being a girl. :)

So the next goodies i am lookin at when i get to brissy is:

Lowering her a bit just a wee bit above legal
Finding a GSI model(stealing the spoilers front and back bars and side skirts sanding them down and respraying to casablancha white then fitting them to snowflake)

Changing snowflake over from being lamo to a GSI.

I am also busy with the interior respraying the dash white.
I am saving my money for some angel eyes (so if anyone knows where i can get them cheap pls let me know)

I am then thinkin of gettin the popout sunroof.

All this will be done in due time and when i can find a GSI Corsa up in brissy.

Since i am planning to have her for atleast 5 years i thought i might aswell make her look good.

She will get a total respray on her too as soon as i can confince my old man that it neccesary to have a car without scratches damn you old ladies and your car doors.

cya

Haha yeah SA always has the better models might get gramps to see what he can do for me over there might be able to get one shipped over mmm shipping costs.
