Car Builds & Building Cars #BuiltnotBought Built from scratch, our own Twin Engine Corsa B producing 1200 BHP (2 x 600HP C20LET) 10+ year project still going strong, by Manchester born Adam 'Beardy' Beard.
We are about building, not buying when it comes to cars, we want to see how you dare to be different & see if we can help you get your spark back to get back in the garage and build!
Drop us a message on our social media @twinenginecorsa if you're currently in the processes of fabrication, we would love to hear from you!

This was a great video. I really appreciate the effort you have put into this video. So good to hear such an interesting backstory. Keep up the good work.
I really enjoyed this video. I remember coming home from a show at Silverstone maybe trax? And there was i think a gold Carlton that had gone off the road at towcester roundabout and was lying in the ditch. Old bill everywhere and lane closures it caused chaos getting home 😂
Wow, what a story , the 3 cars i loved Max Power ever did was Project Thunder , Project XS (E30 BMW) and the (Project VW Golf ... full of Alpine audio, the car no one won. Damn, that Max Power show is on my birthday, unfortunately i can't get, due to unreliable car.
Great video, tried looking for the next part but couldnt find it. Can you give me a very high level check list when trying to start a 93 Astra GT that has been sitting for 10 years (Garaged)? I'm guessing that the fuel lines will be f**cked also and what about brake lines? should they be replaced? Can i try to also crank the engine without worrying that it can get damaged?
I am from Shrewsbury, I remember the car being at incar systems having the ice done. I regularly went to this place on a Saturday to hang out with the Shrewsbury boy racers 🤣. 30mph into a left barrier then over the central reservation, must of slipped onto the loud pedal as the woman hit him 🤣.
My dyno go to fella has a similar tyre policy and a £100 strap deposit for anything with a screamer pipe due to the same things occurring! The guy at the tyre shop nextdoor loves him for it😅
Amazed it ended up at Broadbent's, and that I didn't know about it. My 2nd mini came from there as my next door neighbour worked for them doing their accounts.
Bloody hell I remember reading Max Power with the build for this motor back in the 90s (I'm the same age, so 21 back in 1995!) I was Vauxhall through and through back then and the Lotus Carlton is STILL one of my dream cars. Nostalgia bigtime!
Oh memorie lane,what times these where love the fact you pursue the good old days as content make me happy constantly duelled over this car wish I never new where my ecoose r5gt turbo was awsome work mate
Man I got the issue, great video, and wrong of Maxpower to say their version. Maxpower was last great car era , no Suvs on the roads and no financed BMWs and Audi's.
I think I entered all the competitions in max power they also did a mk1 golf gti which was stolen off the driveway of one of the staff members I seem to remember . I think the paint work ruined the project for me tbh if it was a single colour and maybe a nice blue or something it would have maybe been easy to match and may have been repaired, great video and really enjoyed the story .
Brilliant video Adam...really interesting. Hoping you make more of these. Of the Max Power era myself...Had a grey 2.0 16v Nova reg no. A16 VOW. Got the conversion done in '98 when I was 20!! Youngsters could never insure that now! Love to know what came of it.
Miss my astra gte mk2 all reprayed in glacier white, with tsw vemons 17 inch. Had the car completely restored inside and out then sold it and unfortunately it was totalled by the new owner!
Wonder what happened to the Red series 2 Escort RS Turbo that had 300bhp? Its crazy how we thought that power was bonkers back then compared to today's grocery getters making 500 hp without a sweat.
The flames out that exhaust would be better burning the fucking thing what a waste of bhp and when I get home I think I’m going fit some scania truck brakes to my 2001 yaris
I bought the wheels off that car for my Lotus Carlton replica . Yes one was buckled . I soon traded them in at Prem tyres in Wigan for a set of Azeva A’s
