so what bhp is he running?
and if its a new engine from vaux, does that mean its not a red top? as i thoguht the new 2ltr engines from vaux were alot slower than redtops, or am i mistaken?

yes it is a red top, as someone has said its kind of classed as brand new, as they get old engine replace everthing for new, acid bath the lot etc etc

track rod ends where fuked (which is main part which turns wheels)
nah i feel that 2lt 16v corsas handle bad in the wet but in the dry there not that bad, and V6 feels the same in the Dry as the 16v (not broken ) havent been out in the wet yet (dont take her out in the wet )
i dont know weather the Cage helps any? strut brace and stiff suspention polybushes helps but still no where near as good as a car can be....
best handleing corsa i have driven was a Standard Corsa Gsi Lowered 40mm with a Strut brace...

fookin hell, your much quicker than C20XE'd corsa then!
Never thought there would be that much in it, but if you were backing off, then getting straight back up to speed again, you must have plenty more grunt!!
Was this using the nitrous?
