L reg mate.....early 1994......but the engine is still as mint as they get never let me down (touch wood), starts every time, never had a prob with it, revs nice and smooth and pulls a ton on 16"s. shudnt complain really, but it is TEDIOUSLY slow.

remember, this is a 1.2 8v with a F10WR box.......wider ratios than other corsa like the sport/sri/gsi that all had close ratio boxes.
This means that 100mph in a SRi would prob be 4.5k. At 50/60mph, it basically means the f10 recieves far greater fuel consumption

surely that can go faster with the revs being as low as they are?

nah....power band on mine finishes around 4k......so there u go!
Erm the above pic must be a SXi which had the closer ratio box (F13CR i think), and so higher revs.
Drew - yeah it does, but puttin std bumpers back on next week
