cheers gez c16b hope it does planing for it to go on on the saturday, and the power box made a worl of difference must more fun to drive picks up very easy and when you hit around the 4k mark it really kicks in, as for the mainfold made a lil more difference but more to the sound of the engine really. Warren g says that the std corsa mainfold is free flowing enuf for the power box but i picked mine up at a good price so i had to have it really.
