I really like your videos dude !! It’s nice to see someone actually working on there own car and not bodging stuff you’ve got the tools too !! I don’t know if you watch anyone like boosted / Jamie fyd/lee Lockwood and others there good to watch but don’t seem to know what there doing and sometimes it’s cringeworthy lol a specially because I’ve been in the trade for 12years I really wish you all the best in the future and hope you put more footage out and get bigger!!!! Keep up the good work dude 🤙🏼

[@TommyGames97]

Todd Walters I find that too every other KZbin pays to get work done called being lazy I have been doing work on my own car for few years now and love it and I want a 1.8 cov to my car so yes 😂😂

[@TheSavageGarage]

I watch all of the people you mention as well as others, all great channels but I do see what you mean! I like getting my hands dirty but I'm always learning! I appreciate you watching :)

[@Cjrelectrical]

Nice one James good work , one thing I love about your videos there family friendly , I can safely watch this with my son and know every other word won’t be an F or a Jeff 👍🏻

[@TheSavageGarage]

The cjrshop I'm glad you can watch happily with your son dude, I'm not one to swear off camera either so don't worry :)

[@NickHudson2]

Another great video James you made some decent progress there with what time you had, I agree with everyone else your videos are really good to watch looking forward to more and seeing the conversion progress 👍

[@rwallace1625]

Your videos are great. Very detailed in all the right places

[@drivewaydiyer6504]

Those manifold nuts are the worst, I had to get a special stud removal tool. It was brilliant.

[@cmac5110]

Another great vid mate keep up the good work 👍

[@user-bu6iw6zg5d]

I see the corsa is on coilovers,, nice 👀

[@zedman442]

Nice one and the pop up gazebo is a great wa to carry on working.

[@Usy122]

Can't wait for more of these videos (y)

[@marks216]

Well done mate you made a cracking start . More to come soon then it's just a matter of replacing with the other engine. You doing the pump and belt before fitting it

[@Gleb1986Kiev]

Weather in England is sh...tty as always...

[@jasondexter7775]

Ohh yess another vid :)

[@SIMIKINGMOTO]

Nice video!

[@andrewsmith-zi7db]

Looking good lots more to do though bud

[@OTwinSnakesO]

Im really interested to see how this is gonna go, you’ll have a pocket rocket for sure lol

[@andrewwright.]

Nice

[@spyroskatsavos5118]

You really improved a lot since your first videos! Good work! One question: Is it safe to jack the car from the subframe? Is it not dangerous to slip?

[@TeaIP]

On the older ones w/o face-lift the front impact bracket is weldet

[@thetraindriver01]

Great vid, how was the gazebo? I just got one just like it for a car detail next week 👍👍👍😜

[@curtisj2165]

Nice pair of safety boots, good to see you are big on health and safety😃🤣😂😁😀

[@crazynitroguy123]

These videos are going to make it hard to find a 1.8 to convert mine 😂

[@Usy122]

Are those bricks holding the tent or is that some savage garage magic ? 😃

[@TheSavageGarage]

SovetskyCCCP haha we had wind the other day so I attached them so the tent didn't fly away!

[@appletango2424]

what tent do you use to cover it? cheers mate love the videos

[@healthystyle]

Great im using your videos and your previous vids to do the Head Gasket change on my Corsa C which is almost identical to yours including the same colour. I just want to give u some advice, grab youself some strap on knee pads, Dewalt do a nice pair of strap knee pads for just under £12 B&Q. Im hoping to finnish my Corsa C in the next hour or so!!! Great vids!!!! Please keep them coming

[@Knockelhead]

Nice:) I was wondering is it easy to get True mit with a New Engin?

[@TommyGames97]

If you didn’t know the fogs and outside temp sensor wiring loom should be on the bumper :/

[@mustafamurtadha8419]

First! Go on james👍

[@211panagos]

Keep it up I will follow you because I want to convert my Corsa too

[@ScottStrachann]

Thinking of buying a 1.6 engine and replacing my current 1 litre on my Corsa d but not sure yet

[@Zephieish]

Nice progress. Better to bin those lights, though? Not just the fact they're a mess, but from experience, plastic welding and gluing doesn't work against a Great British pot hole :)

[@EEZO115]

Ahhh a wet footwell, me n my dad has that problem, fucking squelching had to drain it strip all the inside footwell, dry it and put it back in

[@tomgrace6830]

Savage garage can you tell me if you had to swap dash loom? Thanks

[@AIHurrell]

Where do you dispose of your fluids? Coolant/oil etc? How do you transport it there too - presumably not just in that crate? Very silly question, but my local dump has no info on disposal of such things.

[@danielolivereng]

Do you know what manufacturer/brand those headlights are? Do they seem to be of good quality?I want to get some angel eyes some time.

[@BBORacing]

Can you remember where you got the conversation from?

[@gazjacko265]

Hi just wondering if you know if corsa c 1.0 engine will fit corsa d any help is very much appreciated

[@akautodetailing2322]

if i may ask what is the reason of the engine swap. love your videos mate keep them up.

[@TheSavageGarage]

Adil Khan why not? Just wanted a little challenge and I thought it would make good content :) cheers for watching

[@akautodetailing2322]

haha love this kind of content. will it give it a power increase? and can you actually get this model corsa in a 1.8 or is it the reason why your doing this.

[@TheSavageGarage]

Adil Khan should see quite a considerable power increase! Not 100% sure on numbers but I think it's like 50bhp more with the 1.8, don't quote me though

[@megadethguym7977]

Why u have an impact wrnch if u going to break loose the lug nuts with a breaker bar first?

[@allanmichealsmith]

megadethGUY M because there's not enough power in the hawk 14.4v 3/8 impact gun to break free lug nuts. Ideal for around the engine / removing panel bolts.

[@megadethguym7977]

mike smith oh ok now i see i dident pay attention to the size of it true tru

[@tigermoth3194]

Where did you get your gazeebo from? How much was it? and do you rate it?. Cheers.

[@TheSavageGarage]

Tiger moth eBay mate, like £40 and yes I rate it! It's a pop up so takes like 2 minutes to put up!

[@owenthomas3]

Get a vectra on the channel💨

[@BarneyStoleMyKids]

Those angel eye headlights are worth £180 new, it's a shame the previous owner made such a bollocks of the wiring 😩

[@manlikepunjaboioi6834]

You should buy a corsa d and do something with that

[@Jayy80_]

manlikepunjab oioi corsa d is so overplayed corsa c and b is where it's at for corsas

[@devilambrose]

can someone please teell me where is the MAP sensor on the Z18xe please.............I tried google it and nothing can be find

[@JuicingDailyTV]

devilambrose z18xe has a MAF, it's on the intake system just after airbox.

[@devilambrose]

na, I know what is a MAF, I actually has a long standing code (forgotten what number exactly......) I google it and it return as a faulty MAP (which I have no idea what it is and what its for), but since the car still running ok (a little bit of hesitation probably once a month? god knows if its related or something else), I just never bother to get it change.

[@bassonlures]

Hi I've watched all your videos and I have a corsa c issue, really like to pick your brain if you have the time many thanks, pls let us no if you can help 👍

[@AreSheepGreen]

Wondered if anyone could help, I need a decent 18v drill before christmas Anyhelp much appreciated

[@adambeagley1518]

Why don't you z20let it, better engine and so much more power

[@TheSavageGarage]

Adam Beagley if you pay for it I'll do it

[@adambeagley1518]

I did mine last year easy not that much money £500 on dona car then had to change two engine mounts cost me just over £1k

[@TheSavageGarage]

Adam Beagley well done

[@elliottclaxton8836]

What are those wheels ?

[@TheSavageGarage]

Elliott Claxton I believe BBS reps mate

[@elliottclaxton8836]

The Savage Garage cheers will look them up

[@owainbenney1783]

Hi pal just wondering if there’s is any way of contacting you would like to offer something thanks

[@TheSavageGarage]

Owain Benney message me on instagram bud, @thesavagegarage

[@owainbenney1783]

The Savage Garage cool thanks

[@owainbenney1783]

Just mailed you

[@Jimexter]

Not so much a fan of these cars and not sure why youre doing this? if anyone could enlighten me... i know perhaps theres a passion for his corsa but ya know. Not hating at all just wondering. Really interested into how the swap will progress too and the final result should be cool.

[@TheSavageGarage]

James Garrett I like corsas, other people like them too it seems.. I like to be different and nobody is doing a 1.8 swap on KZbin that I can find :)

[@Jimexter]

yeah there does seem to be a big fan base for them. Cant wait to see the finished product, would you be inclined to a few track days in it once the swaps complete? would make for some really good content

[@TheSavageGarage]

James Garrett yea that's the plan :) probably wait until the spring for that though

[@Jimexter]

Sounds good! I purchased a 1995 1.6 eunos roadster (imported mx5) 2 months ago. Tucked away over these cold months doing a few bits to it just tidying it up for better road worthiness really. Want to keep it fairly standard so I can get some good seat time in it before i start doing proper modifications. Intend do do some track days too. Was going to drift it but the car itself is far too good. It has only done 58k miles!
