P.S Stunning corsa! Iv went off them recently, as i feel the standards have been slipping on the corsa scene with the same things being done over and over. Although yours isnt groundbreakingly differany. Its still a very fresh car, love it.

I didn't realise it'd ever been stolen Mark? I knew about the 'smashed and torched' bit...

Robin, they got it wrong in the 'Next Month' section, its never been stolen!! The write up is correct in the feature.

A few updated pictures of my car and the feature in Total Vauxhall are below.
Managed to get some new 165/40 stretch on the car in time for the shoot, then had to drop my FKs as low as they go at the front and take the rear spring seats out for the shoot
Then i took a few more pics after the shoot, before i put the speedlines on for the winter.
Stretch lol, it actually drove ok!
Then i got my new manifold for a good price and a 285 camshaft which a good mate kindly donated and fitted for me!
Then once that was done, it was just a case of waiting for the New Year for Jamsport to supply, fit and map the new Go-Tech management.
Broster did a good job with the wiring and Jamie spent a good few hours on the rolling road working his magic.
Im pleased with the results as it pulls much better and drives much better than it did before!
It now has 130bhp and 130lbft torque which is just about right for me and how i use the car. In a year or so i may add carbs or tbs and aim for 150bhp+ but for now im realy pleased with the results!
Some new pictures
