How does the car handle with such a large heavy engine in the front??
I though the Novas with the 2l 16v motors were supposed to be bad for understeer but a Corsa with a V6!!

i dont usually like corsas or heavily kitted cars but that looks proper nice. Just needs some smoked rears and it would be spot on.
A mate of a mate has a nova gte stripped out with a V6 engine, saab turbo running low boost and nos. It fookin goes some.

All i know is he works for saab and got hold of a turbo and manifold from a saab and fitted it. Its just running low boost and no kinda of special magnement so not sure how he has set it all up. Apperntly he lost bhp when fitting the turbo but gained alot of torque. Im sure my mates said it was running bout 200 bhp and 280 lbft .

beardy's still a coont 
turbo was never going to work as he only had the one 3 port manifold would take a custom jobby to plumb the v6 in there. Last time he sapoke to me about it super charger was on the cards
his 2.5 v6 that was in earlier sounded good will have to dust the escort off to take him on again with 3.0l power
