hello, later im gonna take out some stuff out of my corsa c and have a blast down the a66 to see of theres any improvement.
i was thinking:
taking everything out of the glove box
taking back headrests out
taking spare wheel and kit out.
is there anything else i can take out thats easy to put back in?
thank you guys
What like seats or maybe the engine :?
Maybe that won't work :lol:

probably would in your case Kash :lol: :lol:

So putting a space saver in wud make a difference
Personally I dont think un-less you toally stripped your corsa out taking the odd bits off here and there isn't gonna make your corsa any much quicker.
alright mate...am in the same shoes as you....i'll get sum pics if i can ...i have taking everything in the back seat and wheel ....it looks llike a van now inside lol....it feels alot better round the corners ....got it lowered 30....mite put my old wheels on for a spin around...but bored is the same reason as well lol........if u get a haynes manusl then it should be okay to take ur seats in off easlily......i think my car has got a little bit nippier...not much but alot noticable...
