awesome guys, loving the plastic wooden dash and knob. Have you decided what power plant is going into it, I would go the LET route having worked for vauxhall for a few years but cant remember the weight difference between the LET and v6, although our mad master tech used to fit the 2.5 v6 into corsas

Personally i think a LET would be tontally wrong, considering we litally swap drivers and do ring lap after ring lap im not sure how the LET would stand up to that abuse, and considering there still 1k for a decent one and a F28 i still think a £100 V6 is a better option wink if its changed at all

Saw this at the Ring over the weekend, looks brilliant, what sort of time did you manage around the Ring? I was in a Black GSi Turbo still learning the track managed a 9:20, ended up wearing one of my rear pads down to the metal fun for the drive home!

Hi mate noticed your gsi, we stopped timming after our mate did 3ks worth of armco on sunday, and then we damaged the gear cluster so had to swap to our weird ratio one which is no good for track work in 4th etc, its done a 9.27 in the pre cage spec, vid is on youtube wink
