Not a massive mod and the pics aren't the best but I fitted my new Forge DV007P dump valve today. Seems to be holding boost better now. The standard one was smaller and made from plastic where as this is metal and of course bigger in size.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Unsure on what to do next. Pretty content with it at the moment however.

Not bein funny, but you can shell out loads that you're not gonna see a penny in return for.
People should just buy cars ready done with said mods and save £££

Ah I see your point. Its about making the car more fun and making it mine. I won't be spending loads hence why I bought a fast enough car in the first place.

yeah well you're on the right track with the buying a fast car

Not ever heavily modded any of my cars. I'll spend a few quid here and there when I have some extra money but nothing major. Only a few touches like wheels and other bits I could always sell on seperately.

whats the point in buying a nice car just get a metro.....
come of it, customising/modifying is what some people like to do, you dont do it to get your money back, you do it to make you happy.

im not going to "cream my self" over any mods thanks matey.... im just suggesting that maybe a site about corsa's might be the wrong place to say go buy a faster car in the first place, hell if we could afford it im sure we all would.... modifying a car is a gradual way to make it better in the owners opinion.
anyway, i shall not make this go more off topic. looks.....better nath. think iv seen you about mk in it once or twice.

Yeah thats on the list. Pennys per BHP is amazing. £499 all in for said chip and makes a huge difference. Not sure the insurance company will approve

Mines a definate step up from my old 1.4 Corsa Sport I'll wait til I get bored of the power before any remap happens.
