Just finished up my corsa track car. Took her to the Ring last year and never made a lap because of a spun a baring on the bottom end.
I am off back to the Ring on the 30th June for 4 days so fingers crossed will get a few more laps than last year
For them who do not know the car; this is a Old Skool corsa from the Corsasport world
Original owners was Stu off here back in 2000-2001 so was one of the first corsa with a 2lt 16v always loved the car as at the time. i was just getting into corsa's and i can remember Stu taking me out and thinking i need this in my life. So after a 2 owners since Stu and with me doing bit of work here and there on the car for a number of years i ended up buying to car.
Planning on running her for 12-18months do as many trackdays as i can, if i get the bug i will eather do a proper spec corsa shell OR put the engine into a mini.
Anyhow Small spec - 2.1 C20XE with highlift cams,head ported and polished, webber alpha throttle bodies, webber alpha ECU, 4-2-1 manifold (have a BTB to go on) est around 200-210bhp
P/S word on the street is my Twin Engine Corsa is now on the ramp being worked on
sorry for the gay art style photos my mate did them while i was working on his car
