Hey Oppo, saw this on the Corsa forums and was thinking about getting it done myself. On average, how much horsepower can I expect to gain? Serious replies only, thanks

Upwards of 47 hp to the crank and like oodles of torque.

It'll at least double your horsepower bro.

A decal that big, 30-35 hp easy. Double it if you get a cold air intake and a new muffler.

It added all of the horsepowers.

Dude you'll be making at least 69 more horsepower to the wheels. 70 if you use name brand tape

I put a Gengar decal on my car. Sp. Atk went up +20 and learned Shadow Ball

Go ahead! It'll make your car look much faster.

I have a Pikachu plush on the dash, can I expect any gains from that?

I know, it's pretty awesome. Just try to take it in

Need more power for my track days BRO

You lose a couple hundreths in your 0-60 times, this comes from increasing the weight of the vehicle by a couple grams, and the decal protruding from the body creates an additional couple grams of drag, though there's a hush-hush black magic thing that the slight protrusion creates turbulence that actually improves downforce by a couple grams. So there's a slight disadvantage that is balanced by a slight advantage, pick your poison.

Gotta be wary of those V8 sleeper Micras

Good points, well made. I think, with a design such as this, I'll be getting so many swags to the gallon I'm willing to accept that disadvantage.

Indeed, they exist and they all wont be as conspicuous as this one.

Kinja'd!!!

What V8 bruh? All I'm seeing is a sweet eggshell blue paintjob

It is truly a beautiful machine.

That's a pretty rad micra tho. My grandparents had the old boxy one, I always thought it was cool in a strangely charming way

I used to enjoy the unusual boxy looks too until I put a few miles on my girlfriend's micra. Now seeing a micra gives me nam style flashbacks to 20 second 0-60 times and rowing boat style handling.

Ha! My buddy Tom had an old Micra like that, we used to go hooning across fields in it. That thing would take jumps, handbrake turns and weak burnouts in the wet like a champ. That was £400 well fucking spent

My girlfriend's parents paid £2'000(?!) for hers and are very protective of it. I'm not even supposed to drive it, so no hooning to liven things up sadly.

For 2 grand I hope there was a gold ingot in the glovebox. That's a shame, they're kind of lame cars regularly, but surprisingly fun to drive like a tool

No gold, just some nice rust around the wheels arches. They seem pretty tough so I can imagine they're good for pissing around in. I accidentally did a mini burnout in my girlfriends once, pulling away on a steep hill with gravel on the road. She wasn't happy with me...

Haha, you have to rip it up every now and then! I spun the wheels through first and second in my ex-boyfriends Corsa and he was pissed...

Haha I try to be more chilled in other peoples cars so I dont upset them. I havent really done much in my car yet other than some wheelspin getting away from junctions quickly. Im hoping to track it at some point when I have a little more cash.

Dude do it! Tracking a slow car fast is great fun, I even managed to overtake a few Saxo's and Clio's on my way round!

It's as quick or a little quicker than most smaller petrol engined superminis so hopefully I won't get embarassed too badly. I will need some wider steelies and tyres though.
