I know its a standard 1.6 16v but to be honest it should be faster than that.
I wonder if its something to do with the F13 box that I've got on there, making my car slower than it should be.
I've already noticed how at low speeds it picks up quicker in 4th than 3rd.
Think I will try and find a F15 in the future and see if that makes any difference.

wouldnt bother mate as they have the same ratios just the f15 has a longer final drive and JR kept his f13 and got a 15.7 1/4

Gay then, very gay.
People can do 16.8 quarter miles in standard Corsa GSi's, mine weighs no where near as much as a standard Corsa GSi.
Can't understand it.

it is odd oliver. The gearbox wont solve your problem since only 2nd is slightly different ratio between f13 and f15. the wheels are 16's yeah? other than that, i dont get why its not faster up the 1/4?? is it running ok? not losing power through the range? perhaps its the huge flycatcher bumper

Oh, I raced a Zetec-S with a 1.7 16v Puma engine in it he got away quicker but I caught him at the end of 1st gear and we were side by side all the way along.

Adam, thats with that timing gear at Crail though
Everything is fine with the car, runs sweet no problems at all.
Sometimes it feels like its not pulling hard enough, might try a different fuel pump just incase I have got a SPi one and not a MPi
