Stack dash or Standard Corsa one  
Well, you and me are different. I dont buy things just because they are at a reduced price. And i actually like the stanard dash. And considering my cars revs 80% of the time are between 2000-4000rpm, it wouldn't suit me at all, so no, even if it was cheap, i wouldn't buy it for my car. Buy it and sell it on for more prehaps, but i personnally wouldn't put that particlular dash in (Unless i had throttle bodies revving up to 8500rpm odd).

What is with the attitude on here. Daimo asked a perfectly justified question and was polite about it and Akeem gave him a perfectly good answer and then comes all the cockiness which is completely uncalled for. Grow up 
Akeemking - I am so impressed with all the work you've done. Ive been reading all your posts in fact I look forward to reading your next update. Just wanted to say your cars just getting better and better

My speedo says 130 MPH, but I've only managed a measly 103 MPH out of it 
I've got a spare 27 MPH if anyone wants them

Akeemking has done some serious work to his corsa what is wrong with asking if he's thinking of doing some serious tuning to his turbo. Its hardly unlikely with all the work he's done so far. Most of us couldn't afford to do these kind of things to our cars surely people will ask questions. And Akeem managed to answer the questions with no problems so why have others got a problem when its not even their car. Trouble making if you ask me, trying to bring down an excellent post. Now why not all grow up and continue to drool

Yeah well I think it should end here. This is a good post no point continuing to ruin it with a debate on corsasport.

No pics as yet of the complete car, but here are the components gone into building it.
The turbo engine finally in

The Quaife differential

Stripped out, white engine bay for easy maintainance and coilovers

Those massive V6 stoppers

Warning lights and gauges

Got a couple of questions akeem, did you have an estimate on the final weight of the car, with nowt inside it, i guess its gonna be pretty light. Also, what tyres are you going to put on that beast?

PMSL at bit
not a fan of the dash. agree with Daimo about there thing prefer standard Dash of Punto to that. out of interest you say you will be rev limit of 7500rpm. where will peak power being developed. can the rest of the engine take 7500rpm?
