i like the badges.. and it is a gsi!

opel had 2 versions of the gsi.. the old one (wich vaux has chosen to be the only gsi) and a facelift one

this was the car in original state with original engine:

Well done!!! how does the handling change? my friend told me that C20XE is too heavy for corsa and makes handling a difficult job!!!!

a v6 is too heavy.. a 20xe however is only a bit heavyer then the original engine

did some slight modifications:

Group-A exhaustsystem from the manifold
64mm
decat
simons longbody silencer
Japstyle backbox (wil be changed when i find a better looking box)

and i exchanged the K&N filter for a Green Storm kit

soon to be done:
- polished and optimized accelleratorvalve
- new cambelt, waterpump etc.
- cold air intake in bumper
- and maybe a mantzel RR chip

just binned the K&N for a GREEN STORM (air intake will be comming soon

)

reason? K&N was dirty, wanted a closed filter.. got a bargain at this one..

Looks better like this.. I\'m thinking about making the camcover black aswell..
