Cheers for the comment Dan. Made me laugh. :lol:

I race outdoor Karts which do 0-60 quicker than a 2.0ltr calibra does, and the backend is very twitchy, especially in the wet.

So i'm hoping i should be able cope with driving a 2.0ltr turbo corsa.

Be like driving my kart. :lol:

You never know, my plans may change yet. I can't see the engine being done for another year or 2.

rear discs are a dubious decision. There is no weight at the back of the corsas ... especially with an XE in them, and so with the extra responsivness, they are likely to just lock up.

I just dont like the idea of rear discs...its likely to be lock up central in the wet when you need the back to stay in check and the car to stop.

this is off topic but id love to see a mid engined corsa b, remove the back seats and stick the engine there RWD FTW

alot of work tho, and that said if you did that then id reccomend changing the discs lol
