Hi im Leroy and im from Cape Town, South Africa. I will be relocating to Melbourne, Australia within the next two months as soon as my visa gets sorted. I look forward to seeing some hot Opels and meeting other Opel enthusiasts such as myself. I am the Chairman of a club named the "CrazyCorsa Club" and also an ex member of the Opel Club Cape Town.

I currently drive a Turbocharged 1.4 Corsa. Which I will be selling soon! :(
The mods I have done so far:
T2.5 Garret Turbo
Intercooler
Silicone hoses
Red Line Engineering Cometic Copper head gasket
Polished Boost pipes
Extra injector (550cc)
Perfect Power SMT6 (Piggy back chip)
Perfect Power 3 Bar map sensor
Dump valve
Breather filters
Stainless steel down pipe
Full 63mm stainless steel exhaust system
Auto Gauge Electrical Boost Gauge
Auto Gauge EGT Gauge

Top mount Strut brace
Eibach Pro kit 40mm Lowering Springs
Gasrider Shocks

140KW 220NM @0.7 Bar boost. The power is good enough to see off a few Astra OPC's, Golf 5 GTi's, Ford Focus St's, Honda Civic Type R's and many more! :D Im really going to miss this car!

Below are some pics of my ride!

This project will take quite a while before it gets started. I would still have to settle in and save up etc...
