What have you done to your car lately?

If you get the stuff from https://www.mycarperformance.com.au you can just get the pipes in mm rather than inches aswell.

Thanks for the heads up about these guys mate! Best customer service team out.
Ordered my stuff yesterday evening (in WA), got a call early this morning saying they only had one of the bends I needed left and it was scratched (which doesn't worry me) and was it okay if they sent that and they'd throw some stuff in free. All good. Called back 20 minutes or so later to double check on my clamps because I'd ordered the size down and they wouldn't fit and organised the right size for me. Most places would have just sent me the wrong size and left me to sort it out.

10/10 would recommend!

Currently performing a much needed engine autopsy.



No idea how to get the loom off the injectors



For @andrew :
This is the location of the knock sensor

cool thank you for that pic,
the injectors should come off easy, there is the one clip that holds them on the fuel rail and a wire clip that holds the plug in just need like a small flat blade screwdriver or a little pick

Nice mate, I am still on the hunt for 4pots. On a upside I found out the corsa nur brembos are the same as the Renault Clio ones and use the same pads. The Clio pads are less than half the cost of the corsa pads for brembo ones so may do that upgrade.

Yeh, Clio, Alfa mito, fiat 500 abarth and the corsa are the same. Only difference I have really found is the pad prices vary alot not so much the calipers.

I got the calipers brand new from some guy in the UK. They are Renault calipers and they were cheaper than buying them from Autovaux. Thing with buying the ones from Autovaux is that they come with the Corsa Nurb mounting brackets, which are useless to either of us. Sure, I paid through the nose for the brackets from M-Tech, but they're the only ones I could get off the shelf. I believe there is a couple of different suppliers for the Astra brackets, which suit the larger 322mm discs.
