Corsa race car suspension

suspension set up on Corsa race car
Attention has turned to the suspension set up. Currently the Corsa race car is fitted with KW 2-Way Competition Suspension. The extra weight and slight relocation of the Astra VXR engine within the engine bay will probably mean the front springs will need changing to compensate. A range of different rated springs have been supplied by Eibach so once the Corsa SRI is up and running we will be able to play around with the suspension set up to achieve an optimum fast road/track day set up.

Ceramic Coated Parts

ceramic coated parts for Astra VXR engine transplant
As part of the Astra VXR engine conversion into the Corsa race car it was decided to have various underbonnet components - exhaust manifold, turbo housing, exhaust downpipe and exhaust front section - ceramic coated. This has been carried out by Zircotec with the Metallic Black finish. Ceramic coating not only significantly lowers exhaust temperatures and reduces heat loss from the exhaust resulting in lower engine bay temperatures but being coated in a metallic black finish they also look good!!

Welcome

2gee Motorsport currently owns and runs two high performance Corsa vehicles. The first is a 255bhp Corsa VXR Racing, a limited edition Corsa VXR produced by Vauxhall to celebrate it's success in the BTCC championship. It has been developed, in conjunction with Thorney Motorsport into an extremely capable fast road/track day car. Upgrades include remapping to 255bhp, uprated front mounted intercooler, uprated AP Racing 4 pot front disc brakes, Quaife LSD, uprated and lowered suspension and stainless steel full race exhaust system. Full spec details can be found at our website www.corsavxrracing.info
The second Corsa is an ex TMS Corsa SRI-R race car which has undergone an Astra VXR engine conversion. It now produces 400bhp. The specification of this Corsa race car is impressive - check it out at www.corsaracecar.co.uk
