Peeps with C20XE/LET corsa i think may come back after driving what they think to be much faster cars.
Due to a large C20XE/LET engine, ect in a light corsa. This makes them fast. and other cars on the market are just far too Heavy for the size of engine that they have in them. Unless thay get big Jap cars or say M3 Power from BMW much of the other cars people tend to get after a corsa are not all that much faster if at all

i went from a gsi to a rover 220 gsi turbo then back to the corsa gsi. the 220 was quick, but lacked the fun element the corsa had.
so i made the corsa quicker

I would say the opposite matey! People get out of XE and let Corsas into cars with chassis that are designed for high power and there isnt a chance in France they would get back into a Corsa 
Tuned 1.6 is the way forward for the Corsa!

STU, you drive a P1 mate, bet even a 300BHP corsa would not be beating that. everyone seams to be going for the older Seat Lean Cura's at the mo with visions of 300Bhp like its that Easy and cheap.
Unless you no what ur doing or are going to pay somebody you dont just press a button and it goes from 180bhp to 300 and a new turbo aint cheap and you cant just wap them in and 300BHP is then on tap.
True fast cars such as the Impreza,Evo,M3/5 are proper fast out of the box sports cars and you pay for it too not only in the car cost, but Insurence. People iter have big jobs or big loans to pay for it

Astra has wheels which are too big and dampers which are too hard, and no roof, as a result my Corsa drives better and I can go to B&Q and not worry about where I put what I buy.
