I have (or rather a pal has) some 13x6 Compomotives in an Alleycat style that might suit it:

Yea those wheels are nice. I still think you should keep the ones you had on their to begin with but paint them white.

Had a chat with my mrs's cousin tonight (who I had a load of bits off)
regarding the knocking shock. he said he had the same on his mini so he
replaced the shock, so the shock must be knacked, and its not bottoming out!
So a pair of shocks are now required..
Had half an hour on Ratty tonight so decided to wire the back lights
up on the water/oil gauges, heres a pick but you can't really tell

Ratty loves them!!!!. will be even better with the new shocks...

Had a bit of a breakdown yesterday at work, when I got work
I noticed that I had water dripping from the engine bay
After closer examination I found that the dreaded bypass
hose was leaking coolent.

Left work a little earlier, topped up the coolant and headed off home.
due to the front end hinging from the scuttle it gives superb access to
the pump side of the engine,





so I stripped of the radiator, fan ,water pump and found the hose had dropped
( noticed when I fitted it it was a bit short but I fitted it any way)
bought some hose home from work but the bore was too small , decided to
re-fit the original hose but using Jubilee clips from work...

I also modded the speedo sensor so it was a more precise fit, pic
( notice I have utilised the original cable fixing nut)



While I was working on Ratty I also fitted the new G-Max gas shockers to the rear
and sorted out an issue with the rear brk lights.

Well took Ratty out for a spin, no knocking from the rear end Yipee!!
corners ace, even better !!! BUT!! when I got home noticed the bypass
was still leaking GGGGRRRRRR!!!. I have now ordered a Kevlar re-inforced
hose off fleebay, should get it tomorrow...

Mean while Ratty is home bound And the Corsa is on the road again....

Seems like a perfect time to fit a stage 4 head without the bypass hose and block off the w/pump... not like I have one lying around or anything.....
