Its so much fun at speed, all comes together so nicely. I hate driving it on the road, makes so many noises now, it loves a good thrashing though. I havent driven it with the new bushes yet, il be at brands on nov 3rd.

Nah I did have one I was going to fit, ended up selling it though to fund other bits. Power isnt my highest priority to be honest. I always figured id just run the engine til something went wrong and just buy a new one, either a 16v or something already tuned.

It always looks good in pictures, I can assure you the car is far from mint! Its got a good few dints and small scrapes. As I said there is laquer peeling on the bonnet, also on the rear bumper and one rear 1/4 has faded a bit, the wheel arches have also gone a faded pink/orange. I can only guess it has had a respray at some point, I remember someone saying the standard paint jobs on S1s werent laquered afterwards. Not really sure though to be honest.

The engine is quick enough, its not mega fast but not painfully slow, so it will do!

Awesome little track weapon, like it a lot!
Been lifting the bonnets on various cars i've had for the past 4/5 years and people still tell me to shut it properly

Surprised you've no oil cooler????
My Vts (head work n cam'd etc) used to get uber hot on the oil side of things till I put a tidy 13 row Mocal cooler on, now thrashing's never been as cool

Well worth the pennies and a doddle to fit

I considered an oil cooler but thought it was a bit pointless in the end, being standard the oil shouldnt be getting too hot unless there is a problem really, the s2 engine already has a standard fit cooler that should keep it cool enough. Ive heard of people knackering their engines running coolers on standard engines! Ive made the cosmetic mods in order to improve the cooling side of things, should be enough really.

Thought you had a corsa c??
