gaz the geezer 0 Posted May 23, 2006 QUOTE The rear seat thing, It is rare that I fold them down, but it has to be said that when folded they remove a bit of weight. Vertical seats exert more downward force because the energy is focused on a smaller surface area. When horizontal, the weight is spread and so is less per Centimetre squared.

scarlett 0 Posted May 23, 2006 fcuking hilarious....! i had a corsa sxi for a while - complete piece of schit tbh.... 25mpg and was beaten by old ladies in nissan bluebirds on a regular basis... my only pleasure in it was kerbing the alloys to hell by using them to find where the kerb was while parking - gave it back and bought a cherokee.... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted May 23, 2006 I'd love to get another Corsa...just to see exactly how fast you can ram it into solid objects before it falls apart :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STORM 2 0 Posted May 23, 2006 Hilarious indeed - why did the Mods lock it as soon as he started to cry? It could have been a much lengthier piece of class entertainment The weight thing is pure class - this guy could make millions with his weight disappearing act - NASA has already been on the phone looking for the man. What a prize TW4T!! - lets try and get him onto this forum and come up with some more voodoo physics.....yum yum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted May 23, 2006 I agree with your point, but the car is a little quicker than the standard SXi and so I felt the SRi badges were appropriate. It only carries 1 person, Me. It has no extra weight in the car, all glove compartments, cubby holes and the boot is empty. The rear exhaust may or may not add power. It has only ever run on Optimax, I know you get more boost out if this fuel on bigger engined cars but every little helps. The tyres are always inflated to 38 PSI to give extra grip and less tyre slouch. Often I put the rear seats flat, this reduces weight. (Like why you crawl flat across a frozen pond so as not to break the ice). I regularly drive with around £10 of fuel, again weight saving, and often I use engine cleaner in the fuel load to remove debris from the fuel injectors. The car is always clean improving aerodynamic progress. I have timed the 0 - 60 at 9.3 seconds, and this shaves a couple of seconds off the standard time. Hope this answers your question. ohhh, if only I could be bothered to register :D what a brillaint guy, see ya at the lights son :D his email address is in his profile, someone email him and invite him here ;) Hilarious indeed - why did the Mods lock it as soon as he started to cry?

Blinky16v 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Well bugger me, there really are people out there with no brain and are happy to advertise it on the internet.. this guy is clearly an oxygen theif and should drive his corsa off a cliff. Maybe if he reclines the front seats as well he'll fly.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randal 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Another nugget of wonder from our beloved car critic/physics despot... "In general the car does not have a personality." How a man that drives a faux-badged gold corsa is allowed to define "personality" I will never know. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
