I remember you Morley. I had a drive of your smoke grey Corsa. Can remember how hard it was steering at low speeds

I had a Black Corsa at the time, dont know if I'd put the 17s etc. on though

yea, it is...plus you get better response and better noise from the 8v. And the very nature of the 8v engine means they run better and are alot happier on the carbs!

yea. I have so much more room in the engine bay wit the SEH too...i cant get to anything in my 1.4 16v...it just fills everything! General maintainance of everything on the 8v is just made that little bit easier due to having the space!
