Title: My mates corsa b - Not your usual heap of junk.
Post by: Misky on 02 September 2011, 10:03
One of my mates has got round to building a a twin engined corsa B using 2 c20let engines.  He is hoping for 500bhp awd.
I just thought I would show you some of his fabrication work.

pretty impressive... I bought a set of wheels back in the day off a guy with a nova running a LET lump and it was actually pulling itself apart.. in the end it had to be all seam welded to stop all the fractures on the joints... I love projects like this, but then i personally would rather see it as a single engine 4wd for all the effort that goes into a twin.. or even just rear engine...

He loves his fab work, and had a great attention to detail.
He used to work on the max power editors cars back in the mid 90's  :grin: so being a young kid who used to read the mags then actually see the cars was great!

When this car is finished (around xmas) I think he mentioned taking it to the ring. With the Oldham ringers club.  :laugh:

Is it faster than a Mk3, an R32, a remapped MK5 GTi and an MX5?

Nope i remember a dark blue or green lupo which was dubbed (no pun intended) as being a W12. In reality it has a VR6 up front, and a VR6 in the back.

Yeah the Lupe had two 2.8 V6s. It was some mental East European guy who built it in Poland or somewhere like that. Its insane.
