It's not just fitting all this stuff you've got consider. You say you aren't made of money? Let's say you scrape together the money to get the work done, how do you afford the insurance? Because when they discover your mods they will take your car off you and probably crush it if you don't declare it

Given the fact most people pay insurance monthly im sure he could affors an extra £20/30 insurance.

Lol, mate of mine has a 106 gti. Cammed and allsorts, unsure of other mods, running around 160 bhp though. It is seriously rapid for a 1.6. Revs so high it's unbelievable.
Don't think a 1.6 corsa could keep up with it at all tbh.

Whats the point in racing on a public road though? Then coming on a forum to see how to make your car faster to race people again on the public road?

Do you not find public roads more exciting because of the risk of getting caught or hitting a kid?

I suppose you could be right john! never hit a kid though, do you get a feeling of success? Also do you get any points for it? As in bonus points not the ones on your licence!
