buy somebodies old 1.2 16v for £50-100, nobody buys em, and loads just get junked cause of a 2.0 conversion.

its not gonna set the tarmac on fire, but it'll be smoother and quicker than what your used too :)

Yeah thats, one option, but aint gonna have the money for quite sum time, (just bought Agressor front bumper and Carzone rear, plus lots of new ICE, which took good few months to save for)...

Just thought that the cams and boost valve are quite cheap and might be easy way to get sum extra Umphhhh from the little 140,000 mile engine...

Watcha,
MY weedy little 1.2 8v Corsa B has just blew a couple of vavles, and so they are being replaced...Why all the engine is stripped e.t.c. I wondered whether it be worth putting sum Piper Cams on it and an FSE Power Boost Valve...

Anyone got these on, and do they make a difference...Any opinions welcomed..

Cheers
