Spot on mate you've done an outstanding job, mad to think what you said about not even able to change pads and you go on to build these cars hat off to you pal 👍

[@gusnilsson6928]

blown away by your skills.

[@Roadhogade]

Was great to meet you today, thanks for taking the time to chat with me (ade with the texaco focus) 👍

[@nicusvisser5229]

For years if been thinking of twin engine cars looking them up I think the first one I saw was a golf You just convinced me now to start building one

[@breatharian2009]

What a story! You've gained so much respect from so many people 👏

[@redlinequickshift]

This has quickly become one of my top youtube channels, Love it. I'd love to see that in real life. I remeber being a little kid and getting Maxpower mags 💯 Keep this conent coming we need this!!! haha💯💯💥💥

[@JG-tk7ov]

Exactly what i thought. This would have been a huge thing back in the day.

[@craigmorgan4676]

Agreed,this guy just oozes passion, love it!👌👌💯👊👍

[@lukes3885]

Fully agree it's a proper piece of kit look forward to seeing it once it's all dialed in properly as well it's a credit to him 👏👏👍🏼

Mega build that pal, no better feeling than starting from scratch from a bare shell and taking the first drive once complete. 🙌🏻

[@GTiR23]

I remember you and the black car from the Corsa forum days in the early 00’s when I had my own black Corsa, great to see how far you and your skills have come mate, wish you all the best!

[@MarkieC1990]

Brilliant to watch mate, was great to meet you at the NEC! Top bloke. Mark from Sheffield 👍🏻

[@1973miniclubman]

Spectacular build with a fine eye for detail. Absolute weapon of a car and something you should be very proud of.

[@granada012000]

Nice to learn a bit more on the Corsa. Awesome work 👌

[@MrAidanfleming]

Followed this car for years, love it!!

[@MarcBirks]

This channel is epic, really likeable dude, and epic build and back story, this is a superb example of having a dream and making it happen. Keep up the awesome content dude, epic stuff

[@TwinEngineCorsa]

Thank you so much! Appreciate it

[@jamieogden894]

Absolutely love this car it’s the only corsa I’ve ever actually been totally interested in 😅

[@SuperRon]

Can't believe how fast this has grown! Well done mate.

[@jamesbaker2902]

Saw this monster at the NEC on Saturday.. very cool!

[@wackedoutdude]

That is one impressive Corsa. My friend had one with a standard 2 L red top and that was pretty scary to be honest. Once you get the bump steer sorted it will be a real weapon.

[@caramadra5]

Flipping brilliant!!! Watching from California. We don't have Opal over here. I remember when Opal were sponsor for Ireland in the World Cup! 👍💚☘️🇮🇪

[@darrenmclean7454]

Cracking video and what a machine - Sure i recognise the black Corsa from the Migweb days... Looking forward to updates

[@alexalexandre1574]

This video is an inspiration, thanks a lot!!!

[@waynedavis808]

Absolute beast,not trying to throw shade but I used to see this sort of thing all the time back in max power days golf's

[@eoa_freshbrizzle9108]

I remember seeing this up santa pod when I use to work at Santa pod on the stright line. I love the car is soo nice

[@Tomatoe182]

Saw the car at the classic car show in the NEC on the weekend, awesome build indeed! 👍👍👍

[@muffinatordlux]

Well done... for self learning and building something really cool...

[@lewiselliott7562]

Amazing build credit to youself and the knowledge you have to be able to achieve such a machine

[@bmcshane80]

These were sold here in Australia as a Holden Barina and back in the Sex Spec/Auto Salon days (Max Power equivalent, time wise) were considered an absolute Joke and no one would even touch them, let alone consider modifying them. But this is FUCKING INCREDIBLE! The amount and quality of work youve done on your own, purely because you wanted to learn is utterly OUTSTANDING. Subbed! PS: Its still wild to me to see Cars that we here in OZ got at the same time and we completely ignored, be Modified to this extent and utterly loved. I had a very expensive Subscription to Max Power back in the day, shipped directly to Oz so i love all this stuff

[@mattlawton4715]

It's a shit car but a great build

[@gazking08mx]

Fairplay to you mate. Enjoyed that video alot

this build really and your channel really is Inspirational mate. 🙌

Tell you what mate you’re naturally gifted to have the skills you have now after 15 years. Especially when not starting in the trade from school

[@Itwasntalieitwastrueinmymind]

Respect, very cool build

[@BlueXonar]

Great video mate. Lots of information, and the bit I loved was the complete lack of bullshit and total honesty. Very humble, you seem like a likable bloke. I hope the new suspension setup allows you to make a quick quarter mile pass!

[@brianpender7872]

Great video mt! Brilliant bit of engineering and great get up and go to help others push on with their cars

[@matty7965]

Love watching this channel grow from day 1. Always remember the picture with the ladders on the roof from the corsasport days because i was also a window cleaner then using my '93 8v sri corsa 😂

wow big pat on the back to you m8.well done

[@NYHeeb]

This your first build? Wow skills.much respect

[@aussietruckphotosandmodels8510]

Good to finally get a tour of the car. It's a credit to your stamina to keep up with the schedule of a build like this. You mentioned that you had a custom camshaft grind done for the car. I've been looking for someone do one for my build and can't find any one willing to even look. Most won't even answer my enquiry email...

What engine is it? Find me on social medias an I will see if I can help

Hi from durham mate👋👍 thanks for the in depth and bit of history on the beast👌 I cant wait to see it run a straight 1/4 once everything tweeked and your confident it can get past line under load👌👌 it will rip tarmac bbackwards under car and roll it up 😂 but what a journey you had with car man 👍 awesome mate thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋

Hats off to ya fella, amazing build on your Corsa, shows you can always teach yourself new skills no matter where you are in life 🤪 great channel, I look forward to seeing you reviving some of the old Max Power/Fast Car Mag builds, good luck and go find them all 😉 watching from New Zealand 😃

[@Pats-Shed]

If the bumpsteer is on the back , then get rid of the original uprights and fabricate your own with no steering arm , just two lower rosejoints vertically , similar to the lower wishbone on an MX5 . Great job so far 👏

[@ducky7365]

So many head scratches I had answered 😂great vid.. tell Mark I said hello👍🏼

[@lookship]

Quality build fella. I'll follow your socials - would love to see it eventually make a full pass. I reckon we should swap keys for a day and you can experience the pure adrenaline rush you get from making it up a hill in a 34bhp kei truck 🤣

[@the3doorking293]

Any idea what happened to the twin engined mk2 Golf? Would be great to see someone has that hidden away

Bonjour. J'ai vu sur Facebook que les courses de drag reviennent à Manston airport. Allons nous vous voir là-bas ?

[@spacedust2270]

How does the gears work if you put the stick in first I gather some how it depresses both clutches in both gear boxes at the same time

[@TwinEngineCorsa]

It’s just like any other car. Press the clutch and select the gear. Both clutches will always be pushed even if one engine is in neutral and the other is in gear.

[@spacedust2270]

[@callsignyamshot3140]

That is an epic build 👌🏻 love to see your time once you get a full pass 👍🏼 best of luck bud

[@markmall7142]

Thats some neat work ,and alot of work . The gearbox though strong is a restriction and even has limitations if want to make new intrrnals for it as ive been asked previously. Im sure the suspension can be sorted with enough effort.

[@TwinEngineCorsa]

Hi pal. Do you have a gearbox company? With you saying make new internals?

[@markmall7142]

@@TwinEngineCorsa No, I am in engineering filed. I was asked to look into changing the F28's ratios years ago as 1st gear is extremely short. But internally it is not an ideal donour to redesign the internals and keeping the selector forks in place. So as strong as they are they not ideal for the forementioned reasons and the losses are pretty high through the box, though in your case you can afford the loss but on say a NA engine it's a noticeable disadvantage. Just my 2cents worth. Still like your car though and it is an accomplishment to complete a project of this nature.

[@iainburns4493]

What ever happened to ten of the best?I used to love them from Ron’s R32 to gob stopper 22B

[@AdamMGTF]

Brilliant car. If you want to talk and learn suspension and eliminating bump steer. You could do a lot worse in the UK than talk to drifters. Contrary to popular opinion, we run as much rear grip as possible. While trying to maximize front end grip across a huge range of steering lock. All while getting rid of bump steer and having maximum adjustability. As a very basic example. A lot of us with 200sx/skylines/z32s run a bit of positive rear camber and VERY soft spring rates... When the car loads up, the suspension compresses and on throttle we get a flat contact patch and max grip. The soft springs help soak up some of the power transision (obviously this is a trade off when it comes to response but worth it). With us not having much of a drag scene here, you may find it easier to talk to people who know about these things. A lot of American drifters talk about drift cars being effectively drag cars that go round corners as rear grip is what makes the difference. Especially in a Motorsport where 1000hp is now considered totally normal in national level competition. Thanks for the channel. I'm off to watch more of your videos!

[@MultiBenson01]

Drift works did a KZbin video not so long ago on adjusting his bump steer on the e30 m3 maybe get some of the gear he has. Good video I loved my corsa bs when I was young.

And is there a Manifold available for this ? Also ! What would be an easy engine and gear box change to upgrade the performance on it ? To convert into a sleeper 😊 Thank you once again.
