fuel surge.... never really heard of it on a corsa though.

When you go round a corner with some spirit, the fuel will slosh to the other side of the tank, and possibly away from the pickup for the pump.

Happens on my impreza when giving its beans sideways in second

DO NOT push through it... lift of and let the car settle. The car will be underfueling quite badly other wise.

Speed - The 1.2 8v is very slow. When was the car last serviced? Properly? Plugs, oil, filters?
