This time it wasn't a jap attack, it was French 
I nailed a Clio Williams 3 
he was going for it BIG TIME, bloody quik cars those... i had to switch my car into 280bhp mode, and nail it... didn't get any traction (cos of the rain) in 3rd  but had loads in 4th... so i flew past him ok 
also forgot to say that i did a Skyline the other week, only a 2.5l NON TURBO.... the bloke who owns it is a real muppet....

I have EDS phase 2 software in the car, and it has a switchable boost button (my fav thing in the world) normally without the button on the car runs 230bhp.. then when its on it runs 280bhp
ALL GOOD.....
but yeah its got a lot to do with my huge intake of baked beans

im wanting phase 3.5 (like timrud) or even phase 4
so i can run 325bhp or more then with a little NOS (75 shot fogger like Kiv_Tuning) and i "should" be knocking on the door of 400bhp
BUT
Traction would be a major problem, so an LSD, Traction Control and maybe even launch control ofr 1/4mile sprints
if i get a company car (when i get a proper job) then i will take the car off the road for a while and turn it into RWD or maybe even 4WD Maybe

your a complete nutter mate and im sure your bank manager will say the same 
sod RWD, its for pussies...you want 4WD - only then will you notice a decent amount of traction otherwise your 400brake will just be used to stick rubber to the roads - even with an LSD, i cant see it offer loads of traction 
but it sounds good mate, remember the beans now

thing is, doing a 4WD system will be mucho mucho mulla - by the time you have finished pratting around getting it work correctly and get some decent power now, you might as well have brought a a second hand sports car
but it would be impressive though

This is only a pipe dream at the moment, BUT if i get a decent enough job soon then i will have excess cash to throw around the place... and a 4wd 400bhp corsa would be wicked fun

yes and you can expect mucho of my sex wee splattered around the sides when at meets
seriously though, it would be fun...you have gotta have a hard think about it mate, because you would be splashing a shite load of cash at it and i know i would rather a new saab aero convertible (for a similar price - according to my calcs of doing a 4WD system on a corsa, but using some custom stuff like G/box etc)

aye, would be interesting
i remember he drove that mini with 300 odd break (a good few years back) and was shitting himself
steve, if you do get the 4WD system going i feel that you should send the car into top gear and see what they have to say about it
