no one will insure you on a x16xe that tuned up, its still mods at the end of the day and i bet your insurance would be about the same on a 20xe as a tuned 16xe

what does it matter if its different? its no more interesting to look at than an xe and more to the point who cares what it looks like, when the bonnets down its all about whats more powerful

so your saying exiting a roundabout maybe 40mph to 60mph you were up the back of a ctr? maybe at 60mph it thought wow this crappy corsa is having a pop so put their foot down? hence it slayed you from 65?
i was once right up the back of a ferrari. we were in a traffic jam. i was all over it though in my 1.4 corsa. all over it.

would love to see you insure all mods declared on an unreliable 1.6 engine 
a standard Xe will be cheaper, faster, prob more reliable in the end.

You just talk bollocks everyday on tinternet i dont know how you get away with it.
We come off the round about at about 20-30, he spotted me before we exited the roundabout, straight upto 60-65 and thats when he started pulling away.
Beating a new polo gti with forge intercooler and fuck noes what else mods to 100 isnt bad at all, he was very shocked!
They are not all that slow nic, just because it isnt as fast as your 20let dosnt mean its slow.
Dont you get bored of it all day?

i was goin to do a 1.6 but went with the xe,at the end of the day you will get bored of the power and the 1.6 will be pretty much done within reason were xe would be standard power for the same price leaving you to mod the xe.

that would only be a stage 1 turbo. stage 2 with anti Axi-symmetric stall reg would have done you from 30+

the civic might have been in the wrong gear therefor in lag before vtec boosts in. but no, that cant be right i suppose.
i often wonder whats the point in replying to internet kids with their magical search engine that can find wikipedia yet they have never lifted a spanner or done anything themselves. this makes them 100% correct and more intelligent and knowledgable than anyone else at all, ever. tbh THUMBS.
