Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

Good day as Vauxhall enthusiasts gathered at Shakespere County Raceway yesterday for some 1/4 mile and handling fun.

Thought id better take the Corsa for a run to see what the 1.6 16v c16xe engine could do before i drop the new engine in.

Not a bad day all round

16.4 seconds @ 83mph
0.2875 reaction time - was my best of the day.
I perhaps could have got a little quicker but i was running out of fuel and my brakes were shot - lol

Anyway enough talking time for some pics of me in action......

Me lining up




On the strip agaist an Astra SRi Turbo


Me in front of the Astra SRi Turbo at 330ft


Me lining up to go again


Car taking a well earned rest

same time as me man, but I had an interior in mine

nae bad tho!! LET should get you mid-to-high 14\'s I reckon if you get traction!

When the LET is in i want to work it for early 13\'s it can be done with the right set up.

cool cool

I wana try get high 15\'s if I can at PVS...

Any pics of olly hewitts nova by any chance?
