Nice mate! I've had two features but those pictures **** all over both of them, awesome. Would love some moving shots of my car, those look great.

What an animal! Sorry I'm new to the forum, whats the spec?

 

[L16JAY]

In very basic terms:

- 2L Turbo Calibra lump with F28 6 Speed
- VMaxx Evo 5 software
- Custom coilover set up
- Full body restore and respray
- Cavalier Cesaro 15's

Oh and 300bhp...

On threads like this one we need a 'LIKE' button similar to Faceboooooook. lol!

Nice to see all the pics Jay love it

Question is will the Leon end up like this

 

[J@mes]

very nice mate, hows it go compared to your LCR? Have you been to pod in the LET?

 

[L16JAY]

Haha cheers Barn

Well they're two totally different cars really. Handling wise, the LCR would piss on it as the Corsa was far too front heavy to be a handling kind of car. On the subject of pace, no LCR would come close to it trust me!

 

[J@mes]

so the corsa is good power to weight, so good straight line pace, but on the twisties no good?! shame, but i still like it! lol

I take it you havnt been to pod in your corsa then?

 

[L16JAY]

Yeh its horrendous in the bends. Its still on a PAS rack but I removed the belt from the pump to reduce the torque bounce. So it constantly drives as if the fan belt has gone! Having a big ol' heavy 2L and 6 speed in a tiny bay doesnt help the cause by any stretch either. Its 300bhp+ per tonne.
Na never been up the strip unfortuately however I have a few mates who have ran low 12's

 

[J@mes]

thats a real shame about the handling! I'm surprised you don't have an upper strut brace fitted, i assume thats because the engine is in the way?! in which case i would have got a custom one made up!

you uprated the front and rear ARBs too? this would all help i guess!

Nice looking Corsa, always loved the Cesaro rims, had a set on my Nova GSi many moons ago.

Will keep an eye out for ya
