You can easy hit more than 170mph in a Corsa/Nova on the road. I'll take you out in mine and rip it down the motorway if you like....

But doing 180, and on Brunters is something else! You have to have awesome acceleation, and gearing. Also some top notch brakes and balls of steal to go with it!

Hats off to an immense achievement!

Think its a GT30 turbo IIRC

Engine pipework looks fine to me!

I doubt their corsa did 174mph on the confinds of Brintingthorope. I'd be skipping hoops if mine hit more than 160 on there. I'd love a crack at it though!

For definate on the road mine will pull past 174mph. Wish I had a rev counter that went past 7k, as it hits 7k then stops, but keeps revving. So the quickest I can definently say I have been is 175 for sure

C20LET
Some goodies inside, not sure on what, but its coming apart soon!
Enlarged top hat
Hybrid Turbo
Large FMIC
Uprated fuel pump/pressure reg
Phase 3.5
F28

Sure theres other stuff I've forgot...

Soon to have bigger injectors, and a touch more boost.

No speedo, so I calculate speed off revs, I'm sure if I do my sums right, 7000 rpm in sixth on an F28 with 195/45/16 is 174/175 ish?

If I had a bit of cash lying round at the moment I'd take the opertunity to bin the management, and put a GT28 turbo on. But I don't like leaving myself a bit short (I'm a tight git LOL)
