I bet that's an experience to drive lol. My mate works for Ginetta and he was going to build me an f18 with uprated bearings and a different final drive (not sure what exactly) as he reckoned that would be the best for acceleration and strength. F28 is always better though

need peoples opinion on brakes. i was going to run v6 brakes like i always have done with the redtop conversions ive done.
will 256mm brakes be able to cope or am i going to have to stick with 288mm. just thinkin as im wantin to put it back to standard so should really put corsa gsi wheels back on.
any opinions welcome

V6 brakes it's what they are meant for after all lol. With that much weight I think you will be thankful on various occasions lol. Saying that i don't know what 2.0 brakes are like as iv never been in a corsa with them fitted.

I made my own mount. Hav a spare stainless steel one aswel if anyone needs one.
The sound is awesome. Suprisingly quick for a v6. Need to put the back box on and do a few bits tiding up with it but should be on road by the end of the month all bein well.

Yea that's y I did it. Built quiet a few redtops do thought id be different and this. And of course the awesome noise. It's a hard conversion to do because of the rear manifold.

I nearly sold mine twice but always backed out just because I couldn't get rid of the noise lol. Definitely worth all the time and effort!
