Well, I don't know what I'm more suprised at, the fact that I actually got around to race my car on a circuit, the fact I didn't spin or crash, also the engine didn't miss a beat all day.

as i understand it (and its prob in the 16v link) the corsa ones need coding, because the ecu tells the steering ecu hiw fast you are going so as that it can adjust the resistance at the wheel where as fiat just do this with a button the "city" button.

In theory then you may have been the first person to drive a 300+hp Turbo Twink. Not sure mate, the engine did love the boost. anyway, here is the video on 17psi of boost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSYUkBTTgdw sorry the video quality and synco is a bit out, I'll do a better quality one when my driving improves. Still learning to drive the bloody thing. I need some slick to give me some more traction, as road tyres and 30psi doesn't work. As you can see, I'm not good when I get traffic around me, at least I didn't come last. Team www.sheepspeed.com Racing
