liked the stripped out look mate....guess it helps your times  What power you running btw? If its a standard XE just goes to show what a difference stripping it out makes....
it must have been another red corsa i saw then as that one had no dash at all - just the counters. Plus some 6x9's where the passeneger seats used to be in the back....

It was a bizarre day. It seemed like every time I lined up I was up against a car which on paper should have tore me a new arsehole but there wasnt one car which embarrassed my little corsa so was well pleased. The bloked in the V8 pickup was well not pleased with a little red corsa beating him. All the wheel spinning on the line he did to warm up plus those NOS purge valves just before he ran

Some more vids of other cars:
Civic vs Skyline 5.5mb - Civic sounds amazing 
Slowest BMW ever? 4.36mb
Stupidly Quick Mercedes 4.37mb
Corvette vs Mondeo 4.20mb - Most unfair race of the day?

drunken, what engine capacity? as long as both have a good diff, i reckon they could get low 13's, maybe high 12's easily. Will be interesting to see what ak's will do once its all running.
