    @wackedoutdude 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That is one impressive Corsa. My friend had one with a standard 2 L red top and that was pretty scary to be honest. Once you get the bump steer sorted it will be a real weapon.

    If the bumpsteer is on the back , then get rid of the original uprights and fabricate your own with no steering arm , just two lower rosejoints vertically , similar to the lower wishbone on an MX5 .
    Great job so far 👏

    @BlueXonar 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video mate. Lots of information, and the bit I loved was the complete lack of bullshit and total honesty. Very humble, you seem like a likable bloke.
    I hope the new suspension setup allows you to make a quick quarter mile pass!

  • @bmcshane80
    @bmcshane80 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These were sold here in Australia as a Holden Barina and back in the Sex Spec/Auto Salon days (Max Power equivalent, time wise) were considered an absolute Joke and no one would even touch them, let alone consider modifying them.
    But this is FUCKING INCREDIBLE!
    The amount and quality of work youve done on your own, purely because you wanted to learn is utterly OUTSTANDING.
    Subbed!
    PS: Its still wild to me to see Cars that we here in OZ got at the same time and we completely ignored, be Modified to this extent and utterly loved.
    I had a very expensive Subscription to Max Power back in the day, shipped directly to Oz so i love all this stuff

    Brilliant car. If you want to talk and learn suspension and eliminating bump steer. You could do a lot worse in the UK than talk to drifters. Contrary to popular opinion, we run as much rear grip as possible. While trying to maximize front end grip across a huge range of steering lock. All while getting rid of bump steer and having maximum adjustability.
    As a very basic example. A lot of us with 200sx/skylines/z32s run a bit of positive rear camber and VERY soft spring rates... When the car loads up, the suspension compresses and on throttle we get a flat contact patch and max grip. The soft springs help soak up some of the power transision (obviously this is a trade off when it comes to response but worth it).
    With us not having much of a drag scene here, you may find it easier to talk to people who know about these things. A lot of American drifters talk about drift cars being effectively drag cars that go round corners as rear grip is what makes the difference. Especially in a Motorsport where 1000hp is now considered totally normal in national level competition.
    Thanks for the channel. I'm off to watch more of your videos!

    Im sure the suspension can be sorted with enough effort.

      Hi pal.
      Do you have a gearbox company? With you saying make new internals?

    • @markmall7142
      @markmall7142 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@TwinEngineCorsa No, I am in engineering filed. I was asked to look into changing the F28's ratios years ago as 1st gear is extremely short. But internally it is not an ideal donour to redesign the internals and keeping the selector forks in place. So as strong as they are they not ideal for the forementioned reasons and the losses are pretty high through the box, though in your case you can afford the loss but on say a NA engine it's a noticeable disadvantage. Just my 2cents worth. Still like your car though and it is an accomplishment to complete a project of this nature.

    @paulhope3401 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Geez... that suspension looks freakin dangerous... thats almost undriveable at max. Its going to be huge task getting that all sorted... I'm sure he will get there one day though. A mechanical link between both gearboxes would add a lot of stability rather then both ends losing traction seperately... doesn't really look possible though.. or at least not easily. Very unique and interesting project.

    Awesome build and great to learn but ur skills. As shown by the gear lever design and the charge cooler system. I know you like the look of the standard Corsa but for the drag strip, would it be better to fitwider rims on the rear and tyres to help with the grip and have you got full adjustable toe links and control arms on the rear? Love this build 💯👍
