Chris`I Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 18. Ryan_G1 - corsa 1.2, 263.4bhp, 269.8lb/ft Quote
Chris`I Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 yes its a rather nippy 1.2 Torque steer on that monster must make it unhandlable?! Its got more torque than our Zed! Quote
Jay Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I would have hauled my drunken ass out of bed yday if i knew it was on lol! Oh well maybe next time Quote
rmmackfc Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Good write up mate ... 263bhp in a Corsa, holy bejesus Quote
MartinGT Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 yeah it torque steers like crazy! one of my mates was taken out in the corsa, came back very impressed, then went out in the skyline and it made the corsa look like the 1.2 it originally was! shouldn't have drove my car straight after the skyline, felt soooo slow lol. Quote
rmmackfc Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I'd imagine most things would feel slow after that ... inc. time travel Quote
MartinGT Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 its makes me wanna sell the zed, live on bread and water for 5 years, get the bus, then buy a skyline cost him 15k, was a top secret customer car. its got every toy you can imagine. i love it. Quote
H5 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Can't see any of the pictures, but some fo the figures were impressive! I had that Corsa give me trouble that day...... Quote
P15UL T Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 looks like a great day, sorry i couldnt make it but the missus birthday an all that is that ants i see in one of those pics ? be there for defo the next time Quote
xStric9x Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 So sad why someone would spend all that money on a corsa 1.2 to give it that power Ah well different strokes for different blokes Quote
MartinGT Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 its a c20let, 2.0 turbo, he just likes to kid on its still a 1.2. Quote
Sarnie Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 its a c20let, 2.0 turbo, he just likes to kid on its still a 1.2. How much money needs to be spent on a corsa to get it to those sorts of figures? Quote
MartinGT Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 he bought the engine for about 1k, which is the going rate, but it musta had some tweeks done to up it nearly 65bhp. Quote
bronzee Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Some interesting results there. Especially from the Skyline. Guess you guys find the same over there, between the different dyno setup's can be quite a bit of inconsistancy/variance with results between different dyno machines?? Quote
MartinGT Posted April 1, 2008 Author Posted April 1, 2008 yeah, alot of them can be different. that one seemed pretty spot on. but atmospheric pressures and temperatures play a big part as well as the calibration of the rolling road. Quote
