Cars run quicker at the pod than at crail.
pod is flat but the shut down area is on a gradual down slope and the reason its better the track will be alot smoother but that is up for renewal now so may have a new track next year which could be cool!

to be honest can see who the tuning companys used to justify charging so much.
the conversion on my car was done a considerable amount of time ago, the receipts show some £20k worth of work.
the amount of problem solving that went into the car is evident from all the yearly sheets the owner has written up with problems to be sorted.
before buying my car i actually looked at doing the conversion, being handy with spanners but found to do it as well as i wanted to.
that i was far better off buying a complete example and ironing out any niggles i might have

this was just before the new gen of 2.0 hot hatches were getting really popular, clio 172`s, 306 GTi etc.
the thought of a 2.0 in a corsa was wetting my knickers, remember how highly people used to think of them, It was like OMG 150bhp in a corsa it will be insane etc etc, how things have changed.
I really wanted a 2.0 corsa and went and bought a red GSi with mint body but dying engine. Here is the best bit, Pete at PVD Was going to do the conversion, and i remember late night IRC (yes IRC lol) conversations talking about the conversion and pricing it up etc.
IIRC The whole conversion including zorst, suspension and some RIMS was going to come in at £6k  I wish i still had the emails to show the pricing etc.
I never went ahead with it in the end, but i was creaming myself at the thought.
to quote pete when i asked about the performance he said, "2.0 Corsa will be very similar time to standard escort cosworth down the 1/4"
i had mine in 1998 and did it for under a grand....but was done in backgarden
