Finally got my GSi running today and took it for a test drive. Well after all the s**t came out the back (remains of oil etc from when old head gasket blew) it ran beautiful. Lovely sound of the magnex back box and pipercross induction kit. Couldnt believe the acceleration well i have been driving a 1.0 12v corsaup till now Cant wait to fit aperformance inlet and exhaust manifold now

I bought mine from a member on the forum which he was breaking. It had a whole in the sump nd swore that the engine would be good. well after i eplaced the head gasket it was. I dint have the front bumper, spoiler and interior but have now nearly finished it and cant wait to tear some tarmac up. Just dont want the door pillars to crack when i go round a corner but i just know its gonna happen.
