Hello everybody,

My name is Richard from the Corsa Tuning Club(as 5chaap2k) in the Netherlands, and the Corsa you're talking about is my dream after 17 years with drivers lisence and after more than 5 different Vauxhall(Opel).

Yes it's a special made 2.3 by FCG Engineering(NL).
The base is the 2.2 bottom end from an Opel Frontera. The reason?
For a C20XE 2.2 is the max. An 2.3 is possible with an C20XE but not the most ideal base.
Building an 2.3 was the max for the Frontera bottom.
I hoped that 2400cc was possible but that was too much.

It was a lot of work(FCG Engineering) to get it on the street but that makes it more exclusive!


The Corsa will never be ready of course. The next steps are;
Interior is going out this year and Sparco Corsa seats with airbrush are going in(this year), Samco(this year), cage(next year), wrap the manifold(maybe soon), carbon parts etc...
