and its isn't £800's worth of mods either, he's getting a lot more for his money.

as some said earlier, the inlet manifold is worth 1000 quid alone.

because i own a corsa (C) ie.. at the moment there is no way to put a bigger engine in it without spending £6000-7000!!

Thats why :!

yeah you'll have a F13 box should cope with the power increase,and yeah on paper u should gain 22bhp from the inlet manifold about 8bhp from the chip and about 10/15bhp from the cams,u probably will see about 100bhp

Fukin too right! Go for it mate :)

The clutch and box will be fine :)

yeah i thought it was a good price, when he bought the bits at regal they reckoned if it was set up properly the car should see 100+ bhp easily, Its the 75bhp engine we have.

The only thing putting me off is will the clutch/gearbox be able to handle the power??

yes go for it at that price the inlet manifold is about 1000 quid on its own the uni chip is about 300 and i ain't sure on the price of the cams but its worth it for that price

i reckon the car will have about 85bhp(if it only has 65bhp standard if it has 75bho then i'd say 95bhp) guestimate :thumbs:

:lol:

In the search for power a friend of mine has just bought all the parts to make his Corsa (C) 1.2 16v faster, the mods include; reprofiled cam,dastek unichip and dbillas inlet manifold.

He's the problem he changed his mind and has decided the sell the car before fitting the parts. iv been offered the parts for £800 is this a good price :boggle:

and what power should my car be pushing with these fitted and rr'ed (its also a 1.2 16v corsa C)

hope u lot can help :thumbs:
