Mine you my everyday car I just mince around in.

Mines a 1.2, you have to rag it to get shitty performance. Otherwise you have none.

yeh same here, you have to take a 1.2 8v to the limiter to get it to move, spesh on 16s, imagine on 17s I drove about 500-600 miles in a 2.0 16v Astra, drove back in a 1.2 8v Corsa not amused lol
