Oh here we go...he used to have a blue corsa b 2.0 turbo... now he has this thing... was miles betta when it had standard front bumper, was just a corsa c dropped on speedlines, massiv brakes did give it away...
I seen this thing move, it really dont hang around, tis a mint car and is a v-good job he knows what he is doing,
He is a mate of a mate, and my mate has a pulsar (for sale on here) and the corsa give him a v-good run, just lack of grip...
He from manchester way, round walkden,

Thats is the 2nd corsa C i've seen with this conversion, the first one was the guy that started the whole XE/LET into a nova or corsa ball rolling, hes the guy that makes all the fitting kits that PVD sell.

I doubt 174mph but it would certainly be 160ish.
Mate of mine on MIG has a phase 3.5 Mk2 Astra and he's had a proven 166mph and has a slightly higher spec than the Corsa. Problem is finding enough road to wind up the speed. Gettin 140 odd would be easy enough but unless you've got immense torque then you aint gonna wind up to 174 particuarly easily light car or not. Looking at the engine spec it hasnt got uprated pistons/cams etc.
12's seem pheasable, another mate of mine with a Cally T is predicting low 11's for his car with an immense spec.

Transmission
F28 6 Speed Box, Converted to Hydraulic Clutch
be lucky to get to 160 with a standard gear box i'd say
and if the ratio had been changed, im sure it would have been mentioned
174 on standard box

Exactly.
Just cos it has monster power the ratio will still be the same thus in theory not much more of a higher speed.

Wank ICE too, might as well dump it and lose the weight.

Depends on rev limit I guess. 174 does seem a bit optimistic with 320bhp.
It certainly isn't the fastest Corsa. I saw a site about a CorsaB in Netherlands(I think) that was running more power than that. Cant remember where I saw it though!
Still a fair bit of kit though, any idea how much he is asking for it?

Box would not let u do 174mph
i think the kids got Total Vaux and looked at the Mtech Corsa C and seen there running 174mph and put the 2 together
