Hello people, Been told to use this site from a friend called Matty off www.cruisesouthwest.net
I have a corsa gsi C16XE, for those who do know of me i did build a C20LET but was offered alot of money for it so i sold it, but luckly for me i have been offered another one 
Hopefully this site can help me along with advice and i will post later what i have planned and drawn out for this year.
The Two images below is what the car looked like for past 10 months till ideas popped into my head.
Doing a bit of rear end work, lighten the exterior side
slapped a gsi rear on for the moment
Bit of interior work too
Tampering with the front end a bit
What it looked like before sending it away to have someone check all my electrics proffesionally
my beloved 6 point sparco cage

some pics of cage
Its bolted in 18 different places and will be finished off mig welded 8 different points and 4 other joints.
Some weird feeling is that i love it when im sat in the car but havent driven with it yet.
The fitment was a tough one, the main frame was a bugger and had to remove front seats.Alot of scratches one what would of been back seats but doesnt bother me when the sheet metal ges over it.
and yes i do have a sunroof and the way it was slotted in was exact pin point because there is enough room to open ans shut it.
The whole cage was made up in italy and imported and finalised up north before sent to me. I had to mod it slighty but nothing major

Can you or anyone explain what these two things do
Nology Powercore :
I have the PC10
Its an ignition coil amplifier which increases ignition coil output performance of any inductive ignition system by up to 50%
A hotter, more powerful spark ignites every fuel/air mixture much quicker, more reliably and more efficiently; thus increasing horsepower and torque, whereas fuel consumption and emissions are decreased.
This can gain small amounts of BHP and Torque
PB Valve :
Power boost valves increase the pressure in the fuel rail to give throttle response similar to that found in cars with carburettors.
The main performance benefits are improved acceleration through the gears and quicker pick-up on the exit from corners.
This can eat petrol but tuned to what i have it set at due to compression it cancels out my flat spots.
Hope this helps
