What's the odds whether it is a Corsa, Ford, Mitsubish, Renault, Citroen, BMW or whatever. The guy is doing his own thing, learning and pushing the window of knowledge so good luck to him. If you are in to stickers, dump valves and fake roof vents then get on with it if that makes you happy.

And another comments "Itl be fun at the lights yeah untill you plough into the back of the car In front because there's too much power in a euro box and as said its still just a corsa and not the best looking one either but A for effort

Sounds like the guy knows his stuff job well done agreed with previous comments I'd be gutted gettin beat off that it's pull up n ur just think its a stupid exhaust or a powerflow made to sound similar then u make a double look and it's now not there lol

Impressive work, this will fly when the engine is modified as well.

I think I remember the Tigra in an old copy of Redline magazine some years ago.

I love all the "it's still just a Corsa" comments...... most of us drive Subaru's! haha- surely on par if not worse!
We drive them for the power and how they drive, simples. If this corsa drives well and goes like the clappers then mission accomplished

That's a bit off cos a corsa is exactly just a corsa not sure how a 22b can be worse than a corsa

Impreza= power, practicality, family features and superb sound
Corsa= chavs at mc Donald's with trays in back wheels.

But a bet this one ounces tuned correctly (which from his tigra no doubt will be) will be an absolute lethal track/ 1/4 mile car... Defnitly a guy to learn a thing from shame it's in a corsa n not summit like a mini lol now that an iconic car

Hello all.
Not been on in while, hope people are well.

I just thought id update this post, ive been upto speckies today and took the corsa/ subaru thingy for a drive. ive got to be honest, it drives better than some of the impreza's ive drove.(and ive drove a few in my time) cant believe how well it goes and drives, it corners unbelievably!!
My hats off to ya specky, youve done a cracking job.
Anyway here some pics, couldnt get many as it was a little dark.

I love sleepers but less hassle and expense fitting in a mk4 astra gsi turbo engine and probably easier and cheaper to get more power from too in the long run unless he wants to mix it with the 4x4 class,where every 4x4 cossie has 330bhp from bolt on bits!

Does look good fun.

Would love a sleeper but too much of a show off.

I was recently at Santa Pod lined up with a crappy looking civic who then did a 12sec pass, put me in my place. :O
