This is a mate of mine's XE Corsa.
I've just posted these pics in my project thread but thought the car looked too good not to share it with the guys who don't look through the projects.
To me its exactly how a smartly modified Corsa should look. And its got the power to match  Hope you like:
Recently fitted new Bonnet
Recently rebuilt 2.1 Engine
And the power graph to go with it

Well the RR Printout says at the wheels but I thought it must be Flywheel  Hopefully the owner will put it on another Rolling Rd soon just to see because I thought the standard injection system is limited to around 200bhp (flywheel) because of the inlet restriction....
Anyway, im sure the owner will post the full spec up soon but until he does this is what I know its had done (oh and the engine was once in Rick Drapers Infamous 500bhp Nova at one stage
C20XE rebored to 2.1 With Omega/SBD Pistons, ARP Heavy Duty Rod Bolts Regound Crankshaft,Dynamic balance of crank, flywheel and clutch assembly, balanced con rods and balanced pistons, Skimmed Gas flowed polished ported cocast head, Kent cams with verniers, Bronze valve Guides, split fire leads and plugs, Re-mapped ECU and raised rev limiter, (8.500rpm) Ecotec top hat, FSE Competition fuel pump, FSE adjustable fuel pressure regulator, Custom 2.25" Exhaust system.

Does make me laugh abit how everyones saying it perfect and spot on etc, when really its a standard corsa with about 5 noticable mods, just proves that less is more and spending silly money on cosmetic mods maybe is just well abit pointless!
Anyway, tis a nice corsa, wish i had done similar to mine when i had it and saved a boat load of cash
