Dan, why come on a Ford board?

Well, for starters, if you've checked my site, u'd see i was collecting information + pictures. Also, i joined the RSOC site aroudn 3.5 years ago and apart from the general light hearted jokes and digs, everythig was fine, and thats when i was 18/19 odd, with a 1.4 16v, alloys and not that much else. The replies were not as petty as some written already. Also, i may add that ALL the kit on my car is factory or facotry approved, hence its all top quality plastic and the skirts and bumper alone before adjustments come to around £900. None of this tacky fibreglass cheapness thankyou :P Also, i sold the 145db system, and just have a couple of sets of high class components :P HArdly a boom system. And as for th youth clubs comment, excuse me, with remarks like that, you may want to take a long hard look in a mirror. I am an IT professional who works for a massive Law firm in London. Where may i ask do you work? The seems to suprise many an RS owner was not a dig (Although you must have read it this way). This was simply a way of expressing that the cars performance is certainly not like the standard boyracer basball capped neon equiped 1.2 16v corsa owner.

Neal, not at Trax it didn't :P ST170 this year on track it was left standing :P Didn't get out of shape once.

Thats better

Anyway, for the others, yeah, the 2.0 16v engine in a small car like this means some great fun. Its quite heavy at the moment, but will be on a diet soon. Its around 160bhp per tonne at the moment, and it stops well, but the handling is still an issue, buts its an on-going project. Just like some of you Ford owners keep your cars and finish them so they are perfect. Im very much a fan of the European modifying and went to Belgium last year for the Vauxhall Treffin show. IM hoping to go back this year and possible MAgny Cours for the shows down there. The Euros style is so much smoother, cleaner and neater than the kind of "boyracer" modifying over here.
