Cash. Never getting car finance after the nightmare I had with my Corsa SXi, I was still paying for it 2 years after I sold it.

Very good purchase Oliver.
Im sure you have done your homework, although the Magnex is rumoured to see better gains than the Milltek.

Gorgeous car mate, love the colour too. Id much prefer this over the Golf GTi or Clio etc mainly because of the striking looks and ive heard the turbo kicks in nice and hard so you can feel the power, rather than smooth all the way up the revs, the latter i presume is better for the race track though

No its not that much at all, we are very clued up when it comes to loans etc.
When I got my Corsa list price was 9.6k think I paid about 14k for it in he end with Vauxhall finance, I got a loan to pay the finance off, sold the car and still had the loan 2 years after selling the car. Was ridiculous.

Super is just as bad as UL.
Optimax/v power....
Or unleaded.
No point with super, doesn't get rid of flat spots.
Also, check out the Magnex, IMO, a better design and meant to give slightly better gains, even without using a sports cat..
Scorpian have a gawd awful round one as well.

WTF your telling me vauxhall have released a car to the general public that wont run properly on normal UL, the cars knock sensor will take care of different octanes, this isnt 1980's technology!
if it is the case then vauxhall have released the vxr with crap technology and an appalling map!

Like most turbo charged cars they run better on higher octane fuel, why do you think Japanese performance cars are run on 100 octane fuel?
