To be honest they stick out a little bit more at the bottom than the oe ones, but its not noticeable unless you get right up to them.

Busy again this week :)
Energy Suspension ones from Zcentre, £85+VAT.Will only be using the ones that fit in the hub carriers (bottom shock, upper arm and traction arm bushes) as my new arms are all rose-jointed and have a Driftworks Hicas eliminator to go on........but buying the full kit eorked out cheaper than buying the individual bushes I need.Also got rear wheel bearing grease seals and new PCV valves (and hoses) on order.

Busy again this week :)
Have done a few more jobs this week.......got my crystal rear lights fitted, stripped my spare rear subframe and repainted it, pressed all the bushes etc out of the hub carriers ready for the polybushes, got my reverse light switch wired up,done some more waxoyling underneath, change the windscreen trim strips and given the old girl a wash and polish!......oh..and washed my Fairlady Z mats! Once I get my polybush kit for the rear I can get my subframe rebuilt with the new ajustable arms etc and get it bolted on, the on to the front end!.......once I start to rebuild the subframe i'll post up some more pic :) Must say a big thank you to Lee Dent of L.A Autos in Shrewsbury for use of his workshop, a real star and highly recommended for anyone in the Shrewsbury area that require servicing or repairs :)

TT Conversion real cost - TT vs TT conversion
One thing to consider is a n/a converted to a tt would probably cost more to insure than a tt from the factory as it would be classed as modified.

few questions about about my.new zed lol
The main part of Hicas is the 'steering rack' bolted to the rear subframe, which is connected by pipes to a pump mounted under the bonnet in the area next to the powersteering fluid reservoir in the engine bay.You can delete the hicas by removing the rack at the back and replacing it with a hicas eliminator (driftworks do a popular one), fitting a powersteering pump off an n/a (with a tt pulley) along with a n/a powersteering fluid reservoir (i believe you can modify tt ones as well) and you can remove all the pipework as well.

EGR Valve on Corsa?
under the upper tract of the inlet manifold, on the right as you look at the engine from the front.iirc you need to remove the inlet tract and the expansion tank for the coolant.often a good clean out with an aerosol carb cleaner will sort it out, as the valve get gummed up especially if the car does a lot of short stop/start journeys and is a common fault on vauxhalls.Failing that it can be blanked off, have a look on migweb or vauxhallownersnetwork and you are bound to find a 'how to'.hope this helps :)
