thats what im doing, i will think about it when i have some ncb built up lol.
Im more into the 'looks' side of things at the moment, but if i do get a craving for more power in the future then i will look into a corsa sport/gsi.
If not - then i will stick with my 1.0 lol

if you are worried about insurance you would be better off just to get a corsa with a 1.6 already in it, as it will be loadsa cheaper than a car with a engine conversion.

from my experiences, a 1.0 is better off standard, all i have done is fitted a black diamond rear silencer(designed for a 1.0, no performance increase and only a slight noise coming from it, has a nice tail pipe though lol)
I did de-restrict the airbox but it think thats made it worse, I need a new air box lol

changing the airbox filter to another one (something like the k&n, does that make a difference?

getting a custom one made up is proberly the best option to go for, i fitted a remus de-silencered section to mine, which was meant to fit the 1.4/1.6 engines.
Bodged it on and it was awful, lost loads of power and was hard to drive.
I only bought my current backbox becuase i wanted a nice tailpipe lol
