I was bored about 3 months ago and i came across a 1.2i merit r reg, so i bought it just for a bit of a laugh, first thing i did was respay the car n put a gsi kit on it n some 16" astra alloys on it... i took the eninge out about a month ago (which is for sale if anyone wants it '40,000 on clock') started reingforcing the engine bay a lil, working on other important bit, got better breaks, new exuast system, suspension etc and finally, yesterday i finished putting a 2. 0 16v red top turbo engine from a cavalier. not a rapid as my type-r but still, for a lil car im impressed!

Is your type R tuned? as a LET corsa would eat a type R for joke.

180KPH is the import limiter, which translates to 112MPH

There is something wrong with your turbo engine if its not as quick as your CTR then, or the civic is very heavily modified. I pushed a CTR round Elvington a few years ago in my 160 bhp XE corsa, with at least 200bhp and probably twice as much torque your corsa should be a lot quicker than the civic dude.

Edit, just seen your civic spec, still think it should be faster tho as my mountain bike has more torque than a NA honda 4 pot.

all i know is, this car came to me with 600 miles on the clock 5 1/2 yrs ago and its restricted to 154 as once it hit 154 it still has more revs to go, you can tell from just listening to the car, i reckon it would push 160 given enough distance

i love the new integras (like the ones that are used by John Guest racing in BTCC). They just look so nice, reeally want one of those!

Pretty sure its around the 160 mark not sure though, and its not just about top end either the acceleration of a corsa turbo due to such high torque will be a bit quicker than a type r

my type-r is turboed etc... i admit this corsa is quick, but when i boot it, the car wants to veer off everywhere, once i get to about 100, then i can boot it, even then its a bit uncontrollable

Why do people compare these cars???

A LET in a corsa isnt exactly standard is it lol

Compare one to a supercharged civic then that would be a fairer comparison
