1.4 16v i would of thought, but ive been convoying with 1.2 16vers and they are pretty quick and would be closer than people would think!!! Taking into account wheel size and weights and all that a 1.2 could surprise a 1.4!!!!!!!

If you fit 17" wheels to the 1.4 I believe it
Try to fit 17" to your 1.2 16 v, that I fit a 5,5 kg Team Dynamics wheel to mine, plus some mods...and you'll win in dreams

If you fit OZ superleggera 17'' they weight 6 Kgs
But the majority of wheels are much heavier, so this is a law of phisics (o dear my english

is it raspy at all?

Surely the 1.4 is faster? How much bhp has yours got? The B will have 90-ish as standard.

goldpenguin, get good centresilencer wich is straight through model. or is yours already?
i had my supersprint fitted this week and its deff working!!but i also have straight through rear can.
but if you want to go loud, thats not the way cos supersprint is now more silent than standard box.... but its kind of deeper tone though.
but i noticed little difference in engine taking revs, just little bit faster taking revs after centrebox fitted.

yeah like i said i got mine replaced with a smaller center box... just wanted abit more noise. ihave the irmscher backbox at the moment and its really quiet. looking for an exhaust from rage or cobra at the moment. i need to know how much space i have ,so i have to wait for my bodykit to be put on first.
i just want people to hear me a little bit more...

Did you measure your 1.2 Neshol?
Or you think that you have 115 bhp
sometimes we dream with power but the rolling road says us to wake up

Wrong Kris, that wheel weighs 4,9 Kg in 15"
Its one of the lighter in the market but the off set is 38 in 15" so don't fit it to your corsa
