well, i made it round just about.

awkward as hell to drive with the throttle pedal as stiff as it is. also dont think the TPS is set right as it almost dies, and then it shoots off at warp speed 5 (think im used to my 1.2) 65bhp - 165bhp (est) is a slightly noticeable increase

need to get it set up properly, TBs balanced and fueling checked over. 1 more week and i should be able to drive it

sounds amazing!!

no t in time for PVS though, so it shall be unveiled at the national meet I expect

cool

did you ever drive it as a 1.6? or did you convert it to 1.6 and whack the bodies on at the same time

i used to have a 1.6 on bodies, but it blew up. that was about 9 months ago, and i've gotten used to the 1.2 again since then. i thought that was nippy

im really going to have to be careful

Ive gone from a nicely fettled smallblock nova with a nice light clutch pedal and throttle to a valver corsa.

The nova feels like an old shoe, drive it confidently knowing every detail of how it handles and feels.

The corsa is weird, clutch is heavy and so is the throttle, it feels much like the nova to begin with till you realise the throttle only half down
