after a great maxlive weekend i have a huge shopping list to make the car "finished" 
was speaking to Gavin Wallace (eh came over and was pretty impressed with the car)
gave me a list of things that he recomends i get for her..
new down pipe that seperates the exhaust gases from the wastegate ones..
bigger intercooler (they do one the same depth as the EDS one i have, but twice the height)
new zorst system with a 3" all the way through
their EVO5 software
a modification to the distributor (something about it will hold better voltage/spark, and wont misfire)
waterjet system (those aqua mist jobbies, something like that)
SFS hoses
new front bumper
carbon sparkplug cover
carbon "turbo" cover
blue leads (magnecore or whatever they are called)
Mr. Wallace was saying that if i didnt want to go all the way up to them, then V-Tuning are open in a new unit...
gave me the price list, and said that they will sort some deal out for me 
end result of power.. 330bhp (guestimate)
then its cheating time.. get some NOS

Mate to be honest i wouldnt bother, its front wheel drive you aint gonna be able to use the full potential of 300bhp+ on a front wheel drive car,
Soundz like a little waste of money to be honest mate.. If you want serious power get a 4wd car , maybe along the lines of an evo

aquamist is good, but it's not something i'd rely on tuning the car too, if something went wrong with the system... most people who have aquamist use it as a safeguard, they don't tune the car up relying on the aquamist to reduce temperatures.

at what point do you think???
"hang on, i could of spent this money on a car thats a better spec and far better base model to work on"
i know there's the whole " i beat a more expensive car in a shitty corsa" thoughts, but is that really what its all about???

build a really fast skateboard and overtake people on that, they wouldn't know what hit them
imagine owning a prestige sports car and getting beat by a skateboard, talked about pissed off
but i guess if its a project than its part of the acheivement

i was thinking at lunch, that although me personnally wouldn't do it, its great that people like you do
i love the stories about wasting people and if no one made fast corsa's it would be boring
