Its a Corsa, its just a toy..
Hope your not reffering to me Davy?

I'm skeptical about hte 427bhp claim!
My mates 370bhp (proven) Octavia (engine from the same parts bin) had an almost uncognisable engine bay and the Intercooler was almost ripping out of the bumper.

couple of my mates with ibizas have ran 350 ish and they still keep std inlet manifold and engine still looks like the engine that was in the car before.
