I started to do my Bravo up and it was pretty quick I bought wheels bla bla bla plate B4RVO and it got written off, now I bought a Corsa which is modded and im bored cos it has no rear seats so im only able to take 1 person anywhere and scared to leave it up MK centre with nobs that scratch it etc... So not sure what I wanna do yet.

I might still go for a 2.0 but haven't decided yet. Have sold my cams and cylinder head so am only running 142bhp at the moment. Done a 1/4 at Santa Pod at 15.849 with this power so all is not lost. I'm gonna concentrate on the bodywork for a while before I do anything else to the engine. The exterior has been a bit neglected over the last year!

I've got a mate with a Tigra 1.6 16v

Luckily for me he had my cams and my cylinder head. I was stupid enough to sell them to him for £250 though!

I wanna keep it kinda subtle so am just gonna get a Reiger RS kit and a custom powerflow exhaust. One 4" Slash cut pipe either side of car. Gonna change the wheels to some lightweight speedline alloys and get some of those new yokos.
