First of all ill say hello as im new here, but have been browsing for a few weeks before registering .
Im soon hoping to buy a Corsa B with a budget of 1000 punds. I was gonna go for a 1.2 purely for lower insurance. But after viewing the performance stats on the 1.2 8v on this site im quite dissapointed in the bhp and 0-60 times.
Can any1 tell me their experiances with the 1.2 8v and what the best performance boost you can gain with engine mods.
thats all for now

Hiya, ive got a 1.2 8v and if you are dissapointed just by looking at the performance stats, you will be more dissapointed when you have bought a 1.2 8v. I persoanlly don't think they are as bad as everyone makes out on here though, i'm happy with mine.
