your back box is dead so your car is drinking fuel
sorry to laugh..... thrashing a 1.4 spi i've tried this before and had to stop it was a 5 door too on 13's
also drove my old mans C SXi for a back road jaunt. He needed new brakes after. They are the worst fading brakes i have ever used. I actually went accross one junction cos of them!

Ah back roads are brilliant!!!
I love going for drives, often to either test the car or sit beside other guys testing their's.
As for it only being a small engine, my Corsa was a 1200 8v and it went like stink. It had a lot done to it, but still, little cars can be fun if your brave enough to find their limit.

Because I was doing Road Rallies and there was a 1200cc class for young guys starting out.
