Got this back near the end of 2009. My 1993 Opel Kadett 1.4 :bubblegum: So it doesnt have a massive engine but it still moves.   How plain and old it used to look...  Put some LED park's and Xenon's in it...  Back when the engine was close to "stock"   Got bored of the rusted drums and calipers after I got the mags..  Threw some primer and engine block enamel on the drums & calipers.  After spraying..     How the engine now looks with the 36DCD

Thanks Corsa Addict, Unfortunately im back on steel's again because I sold the mags. At some point soon I may be getting a new set.. About the dials, I found this post on the Opel Owners Forum SA with info about it. http://www.opelownersforum.co.za/forum/ ... ?tid=15070Although I switched those LED's with those superbright blue ones which are normally used on house alarms, aswell as resistors. And a friend offered to help with the soldering/self burning with soldering iron job luckily.

Decided it was about time to get some good quality bulbs, got a set of Nightbreakers..   Comparison of stock halogen vs Nightbreaker  Stock bulbs  Nightbreakers Pretty pleased with those bulbs, will have to give it a test later on when its dark.

After endless delays and problems, the carb was leaking/getting air in and just never tune-able, it seems to have been solved, had to create my own gaskets for the carb. Just waiting for the emulsion tubes from the UK now.
