Looks like a well carried out conversion!
What power did it make on the rollers?

you'd think the wiring was difficult but its not(at least if you have the 1.2 that is).
Love that wee corsa, especially the gloss black arches and bumper inserts against the gold, really looks the part. i thi.nk the SRI wheels are being done to death now but they do look good.
whats the spec of the engine?
i'm in the middle of gathering parts to start doing mine. i want everything there before i start, so i can just blitz it.

Nice motor. Vauxhall really should have made the OPC/GSi Corsa C IMO.
Ditto Rodger's comments.

Cheers for the comments! 
The engine is pretty much standard bar:- the intercooler, filter, front decat pipe, and 2 1/2" exhaust.
It made 204bhp and 252lbs/ft on the rollers, was pleased with the torque but needs more power.
Best 1/4mile time ive ran on the strip is a 14.9 which isnt the fastest but with a few more choice mods and a decent map im hoping to get into the high 13s next year.
Its running astra GSi 308mm discs and callipers up front but just the standard drums at the rear for now
Looking in to getting a cage aswell but it will have to be custom as weischer is the only company making them and they are a fortune to have shipped over from germany | |

Nice looking car. The black against the paintwork is a good combo. Laguna splitter looks better.

Shame it doesn't handle the jumps very well
