yes the corsa does have potential, decent susp, heavier spring rates at front to cover extra engine weight, thicker arb's and thats a quick little motor..... 7x15's........ no 19" chrome spinners!!!! ha ha
But as you stated Rob, the Corsa,Vauxstall,chav, is a bit obvious, but still very effective

Discs all round, Zetec on Webbers, roof chop, bubble arches, retro paint. :thumbup:

BMW Mini headlights, front difuser (and a shed load of filler), Scorpio Ultima grille, silly wheels. :cry: Poor little Anglia.

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
