like hell it would do a 10 second run. i am just trying to improve on what it was basically. nothing more. i havent got the money to build something as quick as a 10 second car, no chance at all.

Possible with funding then? Might be possible to get a sponsor or something, seeing as you have one of the most powerful corsas in the uk.

nobody would want to sponser a corsa, or an l reg car or something that is going to be built on a driveway like it always has. plus there is no fun in that. i find it better to work hard and earn the cash to do the car.

Yeah, suppose you are right there. Is there any trackdays etc that you can win money on? Never heard of anything like it, but using the car to earn cash to build it would be nice.

Looking good mate! Change that Drivers side Shaft for an equal length jobbie from a Cally / Cav... Could/Should help you get a couple of 10ths off your time.
Just an Idea.
What management does your local rolling road use out of interest?
