Please do not try to correct me regarding vauxhalls vibrio.

3 TB cars, yes, 1 of them was a saxo, we are talking about corsas.

Please keep to the point (if you can) without trying some other bullsh1t argument.


right so the cone filter and the exhaust is required but having a stripped out car is not standard

and as for TB cars at brunters there was Andy's, Steve's and Dave's car therefore |I say to you - GTF

I had my engine rebuild and TB conversion done at Owen Developments. They had an Integra in for a TB conversion and got phenomenal results. Teggie owners are lucky cos they get a race spec engine as standard! I'm not convinced how well cams would work in that engine - you might end up with more power, but an even narrower power band. TBs just flow so much more air in at all rpms, and with fully mappable ECU, you can only gain power everywhere, even on your standard cams.

15.21 actually was the best time

rounded up/down = 15.2 (because it is below the 5 )

Vibtrio, yes, as i said, 2 corsas, 1 saxo, so where your last comment comes from god knows. Its totally pointless.

And i i have said Vibrio, by stripped out i meant he had no REAR SEATS which weight 1kg roughly, if not less. Hardly a lot of difference.

yes but a corsa with no rear seats is still not standard is it. therefore wat you shoudl have said was a standard converted 2.0L corsa with no rear seats got sub 15's

Eh?? Corsa rear seats weigh a ton. Chucking them out will gain you quite a bit of time on a standing quarter

I apologise, i forgot about Daves Corsa.

Andy, what rear seat u have then???? My whole rear seats, seatbelts, bolts, seatbelt holder etc came to a massive 3kg ish. And that only cos half of the bolts etc were heavy as feck.

Rear seats weighed bugger all in my car. In fact, they were so light, when i took em out, i though, is this really worth it?????

Robbo
15.23
15.29
15.21

No wonder his opinion on Corsas is always so crap then. One of the worst models to have. Please tell me he doesn't base his opinions on this car
