How can i make my Corsa quicker?

Post by Lipsmoker »

So ive got a corsa b 1.2sxi 16v
I've never drove it because its got a starting problem but thats not what this post is about

Ive heard the top speed On the car stock is about 100-105mph
Is that true?

And Ive got a Air filter and Exhaust system on mine
but i dont know the brands so im looking to change for The best speed increasing brands

What are some legal mods i can do?
+15bhp Chip maybe
Air filter
exhaust
Turbo (pricey)
Weight shed

Thanks
-Josh

there made for rich snobs and countrys without speedlimits.

if you want better acceleration get a decent inlet and exhaust set up

but not much you can do with a 1.2 tbh

rip all the interior out, and everything you dont need, amazing how much difference it makes

its alright spending a few quid on the corsa now to try and make it faster but when it comes time to insure it, u'll get a shock.

and how are u gona buy these rx7's, skylines when ur only 15
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

I've got a 1.2 16v Club, I've been over 105...done about 115 but the car shakes dramatically, I would honestly say its not something you'd wanna be doing in a Corsa.
