Throughout this Astra VXR engine transplant project regular project review meetings have taken place with Thorney Motorsport. At the last meeting it was decided to set a target date for completion of the project so as to focus the minds of all concerned. With Thorney Motorsport competing this year in the BTCC with their Vauxhall Insignia we fixed the weekend of June 9/10 - this being the next scheduled BTCC race meeting at Oulton Park.
 The aim is to have the Corsa race car fully run-in and dyno tested with a smart new livery to do justice to the collabaration between us and Thorney Motorsport. The Corsa will be on display in the Oulton Park paddock at the TMS team garage.
Still left to do include:-

• Tidying up the various wiring harnesses
• Complete the Pipercross air intake system installation
• Installation of the Scorpian 3" full race exhaust system
• Fabrication of front gearbox mount bracket/cross member
• Dyno testing / custom mapping to achieve 400+ bhp
• Vinyl wrapping / bodywork detailing
