i'm at the stage where i dont want to spend more money, but i like modding!! i thought where does it stop.
do any of u get tired of modin ur corsa! it looks mint but i'm gettin 2 the stage where u don't know where 2 stop! i could easily spend many thousand on me car but as ppl said is it worth it plus it devalues ur car!! i got lots of stuff to do to my car!!
so do any of u start thinkin like this??

So not sure what I wanna do yet.

I might still go for a 2.0 but haven't decided yet. Have sold my cams and cylinder head so am only running 142bhp at the moment. Done a 1/4 at Santa Pod at 15.849 with this power so all is not lost. I'm gonna concentrate on the bodywork for a while before I do anything else to the engine. The exterior has been a bit neglected over the last year!

I've got a mate with a Tigra 1.6 16v
Luckily for me he had my cams and my cylinder head. I was stupid enough to sell them to him for £250 though!

I wanna keep it kinda subtle so am just gonna get a Reiger RS kit and a custom powerflow exhaust. One 4" Slash cut pipe either side of car. Gonna change the wheels to some lightweight speedline alloys and get some of those new yokos.
