    '97 Corsa C20LET

    Spotted at JapShow RWYB, who owns these cars?

    I went to JapShow last weekend and on the saturday (RWYB open to all cars) I spotted this white Corsa C20XE, the lad was running low 14's (14.2 best IIRC), the car was fully stripped out and had some form of drag/track tyres on the front.



    Also spotted this blue Nova LET, can't remember his times but a mate of mine reckons he was in the 12's??



    Anybody know the owners or the spec's?

    Beastie uses MIG occasionally & Novaload sometimes.

    Looks like he's got some 15"s for the front end.
    it's a C20XE not a fookin Redtop FFS

    Yes Dan that was an absolute beast mate! Matt black and had had 2.5 legacy lump with big turbo etc etc was running 11's all day so would imagine it could easily run a low 11. There was a yellow Beetle there also with what looked like a fibreglass shell, it was running good times also but I can't remember exactly what it ran.

    I'll try and find some gen for you now mate

    I was there too, but didn't run.

    I also spotted in a grey Astra GTE, think it was turbo'd, with a mig sticker. Very tidy car.

    There was a beetle running, engine hanging out the back (iirc was matt black). Was going down very quick yes!

    Didn't get one clean run. My only half decent run was a 13.7 @ 111mph with a crap start
