fresh from its dyno run last week, my mates corsa sport.....
so thats the 130+bhp 1.6 16v out and ready to sell if anyone is interested let me know.
now we have under a week to find a 20xe, fit it, make some bike tb's fit and then map it for next weekends drag racing.

hopefully yeah. im kinda looking forward to a bit of engine conversion work on that red one this week. hopefully sort out a 20xe tomorrow for it. i reckon its easier to work on a 20xe in a corsa than it is the x16xe.

The 1.4's and 1.6's are alot more rammed in the bay. Prefer the redtops so much more.

I reckon corsa 1.6 on a heavy diet wouldn't be far off!
Just lacks a bit of grunt on that straight. Seems quick through the bends.

went and found this on some farm, somewhere.
impressive. must have been dark where they lived judging by the spot lamps.
important part
bonus
ready for its removal/salvage of useful parts before it goes in the scrap.
has a sump guard as well. aim for tomorrow is to strip it down, fit the xe into the red shell and look at doing an inlet for some bike throttle bodies. see how much we can get done anyway. needs to be finished and mapped by friday night.
