The sound is the car itself.... i asked him like that.
No point in music on car video i think!
The brakes are ACE!!!

I like them alot
but yes... its a pain to avoid lock-up on roads... but for track is ACE!!!
Now please...
you tell me something about yours
- How its the handling on 17z and 18z?
- Doesnt it sit too high?
- How does it do fast corners?
- And on straight line, but full speed? ( 2ltr right? )

yes 2ltr 16v, will be c20 let end of show season
mines on 17's et45 and good toyo proxes tyres,
i have fk coilovers on the front set at a resonable drop, 50-60mm and fk rear coilovers spring setup dropped as low as possible - 50mm,
and koni adjustable yellow shocks set to firm!
nope it sits much lower now after the coilovers have been fitted, the car is much better than before coilovers and the adjustable rear shocks really helped as well, feels extremely tight, no body roll, can take roundabouts continous loop about 50mph before understeer becomes a problem
fast corners it feels fine, straight line yeh feels fast as well, i have seen 135 mph on the clock (road angel people bugger off ha ha)
I was desperate for oz supperleggras on mine but realised they would handle bad as et38 is hghest offset

Mine as you can see on the video...
its a struggle to not shift lanes with torque steer.
In that TD i used road tyres... didnt got the slicks in time.
In the public roads is worse... no grip at all in middle lower rpm around my full Nm range... 400 at about 3000rpm.
Also some scary lost in grip at full speed... scary xit really... as the ATB struggles to find it again boucing the car at much more that a corsa should go! (155mph)
Do you think i get more grip from bigger, wider tyres/wheels, or bouth?
I really didnt want to change the look of the car... thats the beuty on it i think. Just like your picture there...
7x17 OZ Superturismo GT on ET45 now 
Mine was perfect before the power upgrade
just like you describe yours, but now is just plane mad!!!
I'm running KW V3 custom made for my corsa weight... ( upgrade on springs and dumper oil )
At the TD i found the springs are too soft... perfect on public roads... but on Track i abuse and demand much more from the little car.
So i have now 2 more sets of stiffer springs to try... KW and H&R

yours will be much better than mine then with the custom coilovers and smaller wheels,
however the oz wheels will make it worse, try get as close to et49 as possible!!
I shall let you now in the autumn how it handles with the let!!
siberia - they should do yes

Yes mate, straight fit on 16"z
but i loose the possibility the V6 brakes have
fitting them with the 15z clio trophy speedlines and the slicks they use... well can have it all!
