yesterday afternoon after meeting rob h, i went to go and ave a look at one of my corsas, as my cousin was fitting the roll cage, chequer flooring, and seeing if he cud try and find out wot was up wiv the engine..............that he has
anyway took it home, and on the evening went to pik my missus up in it, this was the fun part, sapphire cossie and white rst came shooting past, bearing in mind i was doin bout 60 myself, thought id ave a little play, so i did, cossie was fuked, very poor example of one, very disappointed at it, as for the rst, ive never cum across one that was so quik, still beat it in the end,
we all pulled onto a parking on the side of the road, and started chatting, they both asked wot i had under the bonnet, i replyed oh its only 1.2 16v m8, they were both like
then i laughed and sed it wasnt, rst driver was shitting his pants wen i told him it was a 1.2, but all in all, corsa is getting better, still a few more hings thast need looking at tho i feel, as it still wasnt 100% by far
just thought id let yamknow wot last nights episodes.

I'm sure I read something similar on MIG about some guy that's got a Cally turbo, was down to some kind of valve where the battery tray is, like boost control or something?
Maybe I'm talking shit... Just ignore me!

I was being serious though, because some bloke on MIG posted up a thread saying that he has a Cally turbo, but he wanted to decrease the performance because his sister has to drive it, and someone replied with the above suggestion!
