Another world 1st???????? (THE MIESEL)

[dekz2uk]

Hi All :D & BIG shout to Dazzler :P

For those who haven't heard of me - I'm the guy who built the trailer that couldn't be built.
I like a challenge so I built a full-size mini trailer with a double bed in it and called it "La B*tch 2" and towed it behind "La B*tch"

La B*tches @ Nurburgring 2008.

Enough of that I hear you say - get on with "THE MIESEL" thingy!!!!!!!

What happens when I put these together?

I get a beast of 130 horsies, capable of 0-60 in around 6 secs and 70+mpg "THE MIESEL" :mrgreen: :evil:

So I've got myself a Corsa 2005 1.7 cdti engine low mileage with all the bitz still attached.

With a bit of trimming I'll be fitting a voxie dash as well.

Thanx for interest - I believe it's a 1st for Vox 1.7 tdi but could be mistaken.

Met Dazzler today and bought some bitz off him - the rad could do the biz! Great bloke, very helpful and good luck with the engine swop. :D

Diesel is tops. I'd never buy a petrol for my main car again. I love the torque it makes for easier driving.

[dekz2uk]

Thanx for the interest peepz - I'll do me best. :P

It'll be going in the front hopefully - with radiator(s) either in boot or I'm thinking about poss putting in doors. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Hey sunshine - try less of the flaming and showing a bit of respect - life is too short to go off on one.

I do things My way and hopefully raise a laugh on the way _ I f you dont like it then that's your problem - TRY HELPING no hindering.

[Dazzler]

Easy girls!

Dekz, evo might have a point i have no idea personally

[Richspec]

Good luck with the build, I'll leave you to it.

[pob]

Is that a Vauxhall engine or the Isuzu one?

[evolotion]

Is that a Vauxhall engine or the Isuzu one?

it sthe same 1.7 you would find in a corsa C for example. have rebuilt one, but no idea whether it was vaux or isuzu :lol: but i have reapired a few dodgy wiring loomz and non-starterz due to BCM/ecm/canbus failurez. theze engines are a pig to start in there native homez, so good luck with it, as they are good lumpz when going.

[pritch]

innit! :wink:

[D361 0VR]

Yeah i know i am a tech at vauxhall and have come across a few problems with this engine. If my memory is right its the isuzu engine. They go for ever but like evolotion said they suffer with control unit failures. Hope you don't have the problems!
