PErsonnally, i'd rather keep my torque than gaining a few extra bhp and loosing lots of torque.

And as for engine bays, well, i'll show you in 2004 how good a Corsa enigne bay without powercap can be

watch this space

Im talking about the length of Ecks throttle cable!

Fukin tell me bout it, its that long I had to cable tie it too the front panel and it goes all the way under the induction kit, the accelerator pedal is quite stiff because it bends in 3 places, I take it a standard astra gte cable goes straight on????

got the lexmaul front end on. As for the SFi box, i did,nt really have to take to much off, reason being is i designed my own engine mounts, sat my engine further forward and slightly lower. its the only one i know of with a SFi box. Cheers for that Daimo.
