there used to be, afair, one report from some corsa dyno day on corsasport but it was a long time ago... i am interested what power gains do you achieve by modding your engines - dyno proven ones, of course.... is there a place on the web in which i can find it... or maybe you can share with me your diagrams. mine's stage 1 you can find below:

i paid about 275. the price is with a 12 months full guarantee, all new gaskets, bolts, with brand new valves and everything plus rollin' road measurement.
in uk this might be two times more... i remember that stage 1 saxo head with kent cams costed about 600...

in poland it's half of the money that i'd spend on a two-litre conversion, while having still 1.4 that gets you lower insurance...
but unfortunately together with all the other stuff i managed to get rid 'o the same amount of money with my mods as with getting my corsi.
standard was 1.4 8v spi x14sz (swing version, if you have the same badging; with power sterring, electric windows, mirrors + heated, etc.)

yep! we haven't had many versions in poland, but swing used to be one of the better equipped... m8 of mine had 1.0 12v swing with all the stuff that i have plus heated seats - there was only air conditioning and leather retrim missing, and it was 1.0 12v!!!
