1.6 shocks and courtenay springs?

will the drop be as much seeing as the engines smaller than a red top?

[Stuart]

which 8v lump?

[mk2novagte]

1991 - 1992 Mk2 Astra GTE engine. 8v with powerboost.

[Stuart]

bin the "powerboost" they are poo

isnt an fse or anything - the 8v engines have a kind of powerboost type fuel regulator as standard unike the 16v red tops etc.

means a lot more torque and picks up better than a 16v - bett off the line and ive hada few good races with cav engined corsa's to prove it hahaha
