And if you read corsa_1800_sri first comment hes had a remap done to....so is shoud be pushing more the 140bhp anyway. Why do people always want to argue.....he was giving a perfectly good answer to someone who asked a simple question. Steve u r a tale
i agree with you about the steves its great to have a bit of banter but they both can be depressing, as for making 17bhp from an exhaust and a filter is a joke tbph you would make that with a new inlet, full exhaust inc manifold and a remap but not with just the two mentioned before

powerstation is as accurate as it gets, wheel based rolling road wise,
it snick named Ego buster as thats what it breaks when kids take there cars in expecting big power

a corsa SRi with Splitfire spark plugs will see 135bhp at some places
but i agree that a inlet manifold will make more of a difference with these cars

it also makes quite a bit of difference what gear the car is tested in as that effects the drag curve

standard cars getting standard figures does not necessarily mean that modified cars are also correct because it doesnt work like that.
however those two rolling roads have a pretty decent reputation and dastek use the maha rollers too

steve is there not a 106 site you can fuck off to?
i mean your not helpful just argumentative.
if 106s are the be all and end all of all cars go hassle someone else with one. maybe you can go out for candlelit dinners and make corsas look shit together.
either way its pointless you being here

laugh if you want.
just i personally think that 90% of the time what you say is worthless. nothing is ever constructive. i know its the internet and all that but you can atleast try to be nice and respect others

ok as far as im aware in this thread I have
a) not slated any corsas
b) not mentioned 106gtis
And I would say the input has been more constructive then false power figures?
maybe im wrong, but just because you dont wish to believe what im saying, does not mean im slating anything.
Would you consider me saying you get 50bhp from an exhaust more constructive then? because youd rather believe that?

thats a fair point and yes you are correct.
im not getting my point across very well. its the way that you have said (in a nutshell) all rr's are crap except the one you say is best.
and putting other peoples views down
