I've had 2 of them the first one I bought (the first car I've ever owned actually) was fast as fook for what it was, It was lowered 40mm, full janspeed zorst including 4 branch manifold and re-jetted carb, gave a lot of the more powerful car a run for there money, first car I raced it against was a valver astra and he couldnt get past me on a straight drag race dowm a dual carriageway I was well chuffed.

Think if I put 15s on which are sitting in my garage i'll be scraping the car off the floor, its low enough as it is, but would love to see how much of a difference it would make with the power!

I went off corsa 2/0l's but now i'm tempted again, everybody would under estimate you.
was speaking to my mate last night he pretends he knows things and wassaying the 2.0 8v is way more tuneable than the 2.0 16v. he would not accept he was wrong. anyone actually fitted the 2.0 8v?

I have noticed the VTR lacks power after 100mph... I think they dont really get past 110mph flat out !
No problem

only the sri 130 lump had 130bhp. most 2.0 8v are 115bhp, the sri lumps are really good though! dont think they are more tunable, just that there cheaper to work on
