LiamD Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Is it wrong that out of all those cars I'd take the Corsa? I have a soft spot for quick griffins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve TDI Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 [unbiased opinion] Nope, not at all [/unbiased opinion]It's nice and nippy, however, i've got a nice rebuilt 1.6 going in with a bit of work done to it in the next few months.Driveway mods FTW :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I love C20XE or C20LET powered Corsas...You've never been drag racing properly until a 2.0 Corsa or Nova dicks you... no matter what car you have it will happen at some point!

Steve TDI Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Many have tried and been dissapointed... hit the rev limit in 1st and not changing up gave me ample time to get past. I've had about 5 people say "**** off" when i've told them it's a 1.6. They always think it's a 2.0 "redtop". Others i've told them to guess the engine... they end up saying 2.0... I smile at them, they smile back. I then say it's a 1.6 and I then watch their big smile drop. I'm good like that When it comes to a corner then it's another world. I don't think that the steering wheel is attached to the wheels!!! It just drifts all over the place. It really isn't safe at speed. It's all getting ripped out and replaced with new or uprated so all will be good in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Corsa looks like it's going to be a fun drive What work you thinking of doing on the engine? Are Lexmaul still doing those tasty Inlet manifolds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve TDI Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Them Lexmaul inlets are "Rarer than Rocking Horse ****" They are not making any more. They can go for £300 easy 2nd hand. I've got a mantzel inlet manifold on mine. Engine is going to have when i'm done.... Head work, cams, adjustable Vernier Pulleys. Lightened flywheel / crank / bottom pulley. Standalone management (don't know what yet). I've changed the FD in the gearbox to give better acceleration but you may loose top end speed. On a track it's not that important.I'm going to get the weight down to 750kgs and the BHP will be around the 140 mark depending on how well the mapping goes.Edit: so it'll be 186BHP/TON. It's 150BHP/TON right now (125.2bhp and 840kgs). Edited March 6, 2009 by Steve TDI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Edit: so it'll be 186BHP/TON. It's 150BHP/TON right now (125.2bhp and 840kgs). That should be a hoot! Almost swapped my Polo GTI for a stupid power Corsa a few weeks back lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
