Well had a fair few changes since i got rid of the corsa turbo , got an astra gsi mk3 had it a few months but wasnt really my thing , swapped that for a R plate vts , got it lowered full system on it , was ok but rattled and banged like a bastid and a few things started going wrong , it was handling like a cow on ice! and feck knows what else , list was quite big! ended up swapping that at weeked there for a 205 Gti 1.6 H plate, Red , m.o.t. for a year tax for 6 months , its got avo adjustable rear suspention , not checked fronts yet but its uprated stuff , Handles AMAZING! so much better car to drive than the saxo imo , its meant to have a kent cam too. But i really do miss the corsa turbo . Piccys will be up soon of the 205 , any 1 know of any good places to get some performance parts eg. cages/strut braces etc . ( AK where did you get your stuff ? For your track buggy ) . Possibly gonna Mi it but really want to save for a saphire cossie
Sorry about the long post!
Any suggestions or expierences with them let me know cheers 
Scott.
