orite suppose it just takes practice at least you will have a bit of edge on the straights.

want to give knockhill a go in the corsa soon just for a bit of fun.

Awesome Nic, good to see you give tracktime a go, obviously you've got the bug a bit! Definetly recommend DS2500's. I've had my discs glowing but the brakes still work like normal.

i would like to do another day or 2 next year yes. nice to know the car can do the cornering as well. still got more plans for power for it though. once jdm has the new rollers built will try getting it up to 2 bar of boost.

oulton park was a great laugh though. just an expensive thing to do.

why wouldn't it corner, its pretty much a standard corsa apart from the engine?

Because the internet tells us that Corsas do not handle which is complete and utter rubbish.

decided to go to hellfrauds and do a rattle can job on the spare skirts and covers ive got. as someone above said its just a standard corsa so i guess it doesnt matter if its not show and shine condition. forgot to buy tiger seal though. arse. will hopefully make a start on sanding and primer tomorrow.

looks shite without sideskirts.

exciting times with some exciting stuff to sand and paint. bits of filler on skirts need smoothed off. looks like they have been fitted with self tappers at some point. nice



might leave the novice sticker on the car. quite like it in all honesty. gutted i didnt buy an oulton park sticker to replace the neverbeen nurburger ring one, seen as its now been round a race track. im officially elite now.
