Thats gutting Colin, but the idea of it been 1L turbo at that level is half the appeal and excitement about the car.

Thanks Mike.

Looks like I may have to register on AllCorsa.co.uk and do some checking. I did just find a post from someone on there who's in Brazil and has one of these Corsas.

The main issue is going to be whether the block is externally identical to a 1200/1300/1600
