Why a C20 LET 
Why not get a Z20 LET, newer engine, as tuneable and less faffing around with fly by wire shit.

i thought the c20 let was more tunable and more tuning parts available cos there are more engines around! dont know y the lad before put it in and not the never engine!!
engines done summit like 13k mines since rebuild and then in ONLY 30k miles before that so its a low milage engine!

z20let as tuneable????
what planet are you on?
C20let is far supirior unit in my opinion,
agree that the z20let is nicer to drive and nice power delivery but will never match the c20let for bruit force!

never seen one actual print out for 280 yet never mind 300,
why struggle with a more restricted and complex engine just seems sence to use the older engine???

Maybe not as tuneable, regals highest upgrade offers 276bhp, not far off, but its only a matter of time.
Im on planet earth thank you kevin. Never driven a Z20LET i own a C20LEt was just commenting on the fact one is drive by wire and the other isnt, Im no mechanic but thats bound to be a headache.

ive driven both many many times,
and from what i make out the z20let is a more restrictive but refined drive,
but you dont put a 2 litre turbo in a corsa to be refinded do you,
if you want smooth buy and astra if you want a silly quick corsa put a c20let in,tried,tested and works, also cheap to tune

i think the fact that they have gone to the trouble of doing the harder engine swap makes it more impressive and makes them even more nutty to do it! master price i think when u look at the work gone into it! makes u realise y there are not many c with engine conversions at the mo!
does anyone know how many corsa c there are with turbo lumps in?? such a nicer car then the corsa b! smoother and power steering is much nicer! iaz

I dont like C's as much as Bs have driven both, i own a B.
I do appreciate the work gone into it, but as sadi didnt really see the point! But if thats your game fair enough. Looks a minter tho, i would prefer a C20LET as well as i know how good they are as i LOVE mine

aye, was in tv about 2yrs ago - looked boggo standard yet i remember the article going on about how he made a dodge viper bang his dash as a corsa over took him at 170 odd although apparently, the car still had a bit of juice to go...but i dont think he had the balls to push it further
it was the first C with a conversion and the bloke had would do it for something stupid like 15k or something
