Due to some request in U2U about it i just talked with the owner and he agreed with me on posting the pictures wich got kept private for quite some time now.
On his request i cant talk to much about the construction/modifications done to make this all fit and work.
All i can say for now:
2.3 liter 16V engine
custom rebuild
Jenvey Throttlebodies
Fast DTA with Launchcontrol
Sounds like and it pretty fast hahaha
no dynorun has been done yet but i can tell some people got quit stunned after a ride
Pics:
Don't know if there are simulair projects being done here but enjoy the pics!

Hello everybody,
My name is Richard from the Corsa Tuning Club(as 5chaap2k) in the Netherlands, and the Corsa you're talking about is my dream after 17 years with drivers lisence and after more than 5 different Vauxhall(Opel).
Yes it's a special made 2.3 by FCG Engineering(NL).
The base is the 2.2 bottom end from an Opel Frontera. The reason?
For a C20XE 2.2 is the max. An 2.3 is possible with an C20XE but not the most ideal base.
Building an 2.3 was the max for the Frontera bottom.
I hoped that 2400cc was possible but that was too much.
It was a lot of work(FCG Engineering) to get it on the street but that makes it more exclusive!
The Corsa will never be ready of course. The next steps are;
Interior is going out this year and Sparco Corsa seats with airbrush are going in(this year), Samco(this year), cage(next year), wrap the manifold(maybe soon), carbon parts etc...
