i rev my car to 5800 rpm sometimes to get that extra speed lol the car sounds poo hot 8) i only drive like a maniac when there is little to no traffic and i am always like 6-7 car lengths back from cars seeing as i dont ever want to crash again lol !
on the motor ways though i can hit 120 - 130 mph (although the fastest ive gone is 128) and i wouldnt recomend that in a corsa lol unless u have good breaks

I can get 120 on a flat mile, on the motorway i could bounce the GSi off the limiter in 5th God knows what that would be, somewhere around 130 tho.

i want to see this video of your 0-60!
According to this website
http://www.is-it-a-lemon.com/used-car-h ... sierra.htm
Your car does 0-60 less that half a second slower than a sierra cossy......................... would love to see that out of a turbo diesel corsa!!! 8)

every forum says they can only get the standard turbo to 17 psi... but im gettin mine to just before 23 psi..... so explain that... also the upped the fuel so much that it now idles at 1250 rpm with the idler at its lowest setting....

the other reason it accelerates so quickly is that im using 13's which means i have a poo load of torque

the cosworth also would have had 18" rims... so wit smaller wheels it would have ben even quicker....
the bigger ur wheels the less torque u have and power.....

1/ Sierra Cossy does not have 18" wheels as standard..... 16" if im not mistaken, All my mates are well into sierra's and so am i tbh

2/ The size of your wheels has no effect on the torque or the power that your engine produces, i could stick 22" wheels on my car and it would still have 106Bhp, Wheels effectivly change the gearing, and handeling nothing else

Your corsa will soon go pop! 1.5 ls td = Not designed to do what your "saying" it does
