dont ask me why i got this but for some silly reason i did...
corsa sport 1.6 16v with the cambelt snapped so needs a new head but lets go for a engine change..the headlights will be swapped with the ones on my sri not sure what to do about the rear lights.the plans with this one is to drop it about 80mm on the back and 60mm on the front,ive just brought a 1.8 engine out of a astra sport,im half way threw sorting some converted drive shafts out with a friend of mine,the car will be de-badged a set of tinted windows and a few other odd's and sod's....i will update as i go on so keep checking now and then

I have to say you would be better off buying an inlet and exhaust system for the 1.6.. The X18XE is a big old heavy block and there isnt much you can do with it... Be quicker with the tweaked 1.6 and cheaper!
