I also have a VX inlet mate. They are 170 off ebay. Noticeable gains in power, especially top end. But mine is mega greedy now!

I just read the problem in your build thread, what a shit! When I did my head gasket the car was all back together, started it and had exactly the same problem with the water pump! I hope you can get the bolt out of the tensioner! wanna see some videos of it being driven and how its sounds! Good luck mate!

wow quite like the look of the lexmaul! guessing ud have to modify the existing engine cover to fit on with it too? not really a fan of seeing the bare metal on these engines!

They are the easiest one to fit so you can easily swap back to the original one if needs be. Just bolts on
And you would have to extend the plastic cover to fit or find a very rare carbon fibre one that they made to go with it.

The lexmaul can go for anything between £220 to £300 as they dont make them anymore and they hold their value. The inlet is the best way to increase a corsas power, also increase torque. I felt a nice difference when i fitted mine. obviosly an exhaust manifold will help but the inlet is the first place to release a few ponies.
