A bigger waste of money than 'modding' a corsa!

X16XE, Mantzel Inlet manifold, mapped. Nothing special for the time being.

If I can get hold of some cheap Weber 45's I might fit them to the 1400cc thats in there for the time being.

Just an observation, but it seems that whenever Daimo is online Donna logs on as well. The terrible twosome

    Well im in Sidcup and he's in London so its just a coincidence He's only meant to use the net during his lunch breaks, whereas I have no restictions. So come to think of it I think your talking shit Plus the list of people that are online is only refreshed like every 20mins or something. And also im always logged on, I only have to open my internet explorer.

    done already:

    1. induction kit moved 1 1/2 metres closer to the turbo
    2. just a backbox
    3. boost upped to 13 psi using a ball bearing boost controller (dawes device)
    4. fuelling matched to boost

    stuff i have sitting at home to go on:

    1. 2 intercoolers although ill probs only use 1
    2. larger injectors
    3. head which is in the process of being gasflowed and matched to manifolds (which are also being flowed)
    4. decat pipe.

    plans:

    1. full turbo back zoorst 2 - 2 1/2 " bore
    2. remove overboost valve
    3. 1.5 bar boost
    4. rebuild bottom end and balance everything
    5. slightly lighten flywheel
    6. heavy duty clutch and maybe f16/f17 box.
    7. 1.7 td fuel pump
    8. variable vein turbo
    9. 4-1 manifold
