    Re: my 1.4 corsa

    Looking good mate but id ditch the Lexarse lights and keep the standard ones.

    Stick an xe, let or V6 engine in it and with the near to standard look you'll surprise quite a few cars on the road

    Im putting an xe engine into my corsa at the moment myself to save some money but if you know any good mechanics or someone who has done one before then try and get them to do it for you or you could try and give it a go yourself if you think you could do it.

    Re: my 1.4 corsa

    Paid about 350 quid and that was with the car aswell, but the car was rotten so i decided to put it into my corsa which was alot more solid. The benefit was the wiring was already done for the other corsa which i was glad as i hate wiring things up even though it isnt meant to be that bad a job. Also the guy i got it off didnt realise that it was a coscast one from an astra gte which means i got an absolute bargin. Youd probably an engine for about the same or a bit higher. Even look around for an xe engined corsa thats been in a rear end crash and transfer everything over to your corsa, but remember there are differences with older and newer corsas so try and get one thats the same year or near enough to yours

    Re: my 1.4 corsa

    Thats a good price for the engine and the labour for your mates to do the job. Go for it mate as everytime ive been out in someone elses xe engined corsa it makes me want to get my own one on the road quicker. Its cheap and fun

    Try keeping an eye on the for sale section on this site or ebay. Look in the back of a total vauxhall mag and im sure theres a place that sells them as a complete kit. Just make sure you get all the bits you need to do the whole conversion.

    Re: my 1.4 corsa

    Looking better. Could be lower, the Corsa B always looks good low.
    Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
