Corsa B Advice needed

[jean-christophe]

Hi there,

I am building a Corsa B that will hopefully make about 500 hp , prob no 1 i need to do something on my suspension that will make the car driveable on the track as i really want something that will handle . What i got so far is powerflex bushes all out on the car and i got myself tie-bar brackets from courtenay motorsport in the uk . What can i do ? , and i live in South-Africa thats my other prob .

thanks

Hi Jean-Christophe,

I don't want to dash your hopes, but it is an awfull lot of power to put through any front wheel drive chassis. Driveability is a struggle with half that power.
But, if you want to make the best out of it, you should first decide on how and where you are going to use the car. Is this going to be your everyday street car, or it is a pure race car. What tyres will you be fitting. The answers to these and similar questions will start to give you an idea on the level of suspension mods you will need.

In the mean time, I would suggest you take a look at the fact sheet that we have put together for Holden Barina SB / Opel Corsa B.

Hi There,

Yes i am aware of my problems that i will have , yes my car is gona be a race car , i will be fitting semi`s on it .

I want to do all i can to make the car handle as best as it can . I have seen what you have on offer for the corsa , i am very interested in the handling pack just wanna find out if you can offer me anything else .


Thanks for your help,

Hi,
All the products listed in the fact sheet are all that we have available for your car.
You will definitely benefit from the Handling Pack, but due to our springs and shocks being designed for performance street cars, they are relatively mild in their rating and settings, and will not be the ideal choice for not a race car on semi slicks.
