Corsa
1.6 16v engine/either a C16XE or X16XE.
BFO exhaust
Pipercross Viper
Inlet manifold
Totally stripped interior, no carpet,roof lining, door cards etc.
Just 2 buckets and a momo wheel.
Oh and some Pro Race 1 alloys, since their light.
This is the project me and my mate are lookin at, but not sure if its worth the cash for the power??

well ud probley have around 130bhp
id say 7-8 seconds, but 0-60 is such a poor thing to time how quick a car is

well nova gsi = 100bhp
corsa gsi = 109, but is heavyer so there about the same speed upto 70-80 then the gsi should be able to edge its self away due to having 16 valves
what is ur aim then? just 0-60 times or what

i reckon around the high 7's, low 8's. I got an accurately timed 0-60 of 8.7 seconds in my old 1.6 Sport standard.

i dont think a bfo exhaust would help in the performance stakes, its far too big bore, the only corsa it would benefit is the turbo diesels.

Your probably right there!
Still good that a nova was quickest car of the day even if its 2.82 isn't exact.
As I said though, my car is quicker than the 6.2 I did.
