Right, heres the deal..
Im buying a brand spanker of a new corsa sxi in two months time. im going to buy a black one.
As soon as its delivered, im going to whip off the filter and stick on a nice big K&N and sort out some air-ducting. im also going to put on a performance back box of some sort. what else can i do that wont mess my warrenty up?
in terms of styling, im going to put on bib spoiler, rear skirt, spoiler side skirts. My best mate has a Rover 2.5 1.4 103, i would really like to keep up with him in my 1.2 corsa, but i know that straight out the box it wont be doning that!! any ideas??

For a start don't buy an induction kit, just drill the air box and put a K&N element filter in it. Works better than an induction kit.
Secondly back boxes provide no performance gain, get a cat-back system, even then you're talking 2-3 bhp if you're lucky.
Thirdly you have no-chance of keeping up with him un-less you buy the 1.4 SRi like I did.

the only thing you will be able to do is beat the rover in 4th gear 30 -50mph

only thing he wil be able to fit is a full front and rear bumper. sideskirts and rearroof spoilers shudbe fine.
just the actual lip spooilers and add ons for the rear wont fit.

Looking in autoexpress, theve tested the facelifted corsa, and they make a 1.4 sxi now, so i think i will plump with that instead, its only a grand more and insurance isnt really a problem even though im young!
do you recon i stand a chance in this one? ive seen the 25 disapearing over the hill way to many times already, and my current '96 corsa auto.. booo... just doesnt do the job in terms of speed!
