Risky i know, as a corsa is about as far away from some of the car's on here as you can get, known and have read PistonHeads for ages, and thought as i'll be doing quite a few track days later in the year again, and alot of you are there as well might as well join up

1.6 16v C16XE
Lexmaul Ram Indcution, 264 degree shrieck cams , Piper venier pulleys , Uprated valve springs and caps , Janspeed manifold, Janspeed decat, ARP conrod bolts, Blueflame BFO system, PiperX induction kit, ported, polished and flowed head, 781kg, Estimated 185bhp/Tonne

me too! Thought we were going to have another Smart Car thread on our hands!

Nice looking car JR - money spent where it matters, making it stop, go and turn better.

Welcome to the mayhem

Was a little bit worried about putting pics up of it, but atleast its a track car, and not a fibreglass monstrosity

I like the understated looks on the outside and those wheels really suit the car well.

It looks like a rally car inside.

The main thing is for me, it has verve rather than all of those 1.0 and 1.2's pretending to be quick.
