looks like a fun car Ben

only criticism would be try to keep you hands gripped at "3 and 9" on the steering wheel instead of doing the steering wheel shuffle when going through the corners

you going castle combe action day on the 25th?

Couldent give a fuck tbh if you like my tattoo didn't get it done for approval off you , and just for your info it's not just a rose that was my first sitting and he had to stop as it swelled up , it's been added up to my elbow now for a full sleeve , had to start on the hand to get it all placed right

Cracking job on the rear seats.

2000 trouble free miles have now passed still loving it , had centre console painted gloss black to match the vxr wheel























































Plan is now to get a bigger intercooler fitted as intake temps were a little high on mapping and fit a eds I let manifold, then back to Dan for a bit more boost and crack 300bhp , still undecided weather to build a forged engine for it and go along the route of a gtx28 turbo for 400bhp but keeping it drivable

400bhp will be too much don't you think? For keeping it driveable?

300 in a car as small and light as a corsa should be more than enough you not think?

2k trouble free miles and you're enjoying it still.
My hen you start wanting to push it, just don't understand why? It's like you want it to break. You have your other car for silly numbers, which aren't useable on the road.

This is great as it is, personally I think you should leave it. Your car though..

The thing is 300bhp seams tame nowadays and I feel the car could handle more power without loosing drivability , forging it wouldn't loose any of the reliability, my mate has forged his and a gt30 is going on it so I'll prob wait till that's done before I make my mind up and have a go in that ,but I do think it could take 400bhp and still be drivable it's all how the power is mapped it that would make it work /not work on the road still

If I wanted 400bhp road car I'd be buying a 400/400 Evo not a corsa. A corsa won't be able to make use of the power the way a car like an Evo that's designed for that kind of power will. 300 ish is plenty imo.

Amazing thread. How'd you mount and smooth the gauge holder on the top of that mfd dome? Looks mint.
