Doesn't someone have a 214bhp 1.6 lump (Andy?)? Assuming that's a GSi not a Sport...

I'm doubting that blue corsa in the top pics is a GSi as u cannot get Arden Blue GSi's  Most likely a sport 1.6 IMO.

I think Andy's is a Sport, but don't quote me on that.
Donna's is pretty good on bhp considering it's not on throttle bodies.

Just thought I'd clarify a few things here:
Yes, it's my Corsa and it's a 99 Sport running a 1.6 Ecotec lump on TBs. It's current spec is 214bhp (8490rpm) and 146ft/lb of torque (6100rpm). The engine's been built to full race spec, so it's quite happy to rev to 9K.
As some of you are aware, some cnut re-arranged the rear of the car back in October - but the good news is that his insurers paid out for a full re-shell and rebuild . The car's just about finished now and will be ready within a week or so. Managed to lose about another 80kgs of weight, fitted a plate diff and a closer ratio box, so should be quicker than before. I'm hoping for a low-mid 5 seconds 0-60 and around 14 or high 13s standing quarter. I'll be down at Performance Vauxhall in June if anyone's interested in seeing the car in the flesh.
