I just like the Sxi's.
They already have tinted windows and rear lights so you don't have to do too much to them.

12v is a 3 cylinder engine and has 4 valves per cylinder, 8v a four cylinder engine with only 2 valves per cylinder, so yess i would say so but this is just what i think so please correct me if im wrong? 12v is faster than 1.2 8v in my experiance

Cool. Would love a 2.0l Turbo though
Would be good for 130mph if not more.

Probably since Corsa's don't weight much, espc if they've been stripped.
