Nice car. I will say I think its a shame you're putting a LET in it as it'd be nice to see a tidy GSi X/C16 with tuning as they're becoming less popular now.
Anyway, sounds good none the less

Yours is because you're silly enough to let Sean rag it up with a cracked head!
I've had a 1.4 and 2 1.6's and think they're great engines!

Now off to the Unit to start "stripping"

Pics to follow

Todays plans:
Remove front bumper, headlights, bonnet, manifolds and exhaust, radiator, coilovers, discs, hubs, shafts and everything that needs to come off to get the hamster out.

No But will have very soon (when i get paid at end of month)

Just need to find Shafts and intercooler, and maybe a slimline fan

Honestly how would Cav inner CV's hold out on 250 BHP? Just untill i find some shafts?

Good stuff

Willay tbh its only going to have an F20 to start with. i cant afford to go all out on a F28 this month, but at the same time ill need my car, i can get Cav CV's for nothing, i wont be driving it Hard, because its only just been rebuilt, when i come to fit the F28, ill stick equal length shafts etc.

Wait until you can put the F28 on it and put it in as one.

Swapping boxes on a big block is pain in the ass once its in a Corsa

Yes as you'll blast throught the f20 in no time. If your doing motoway journeys then it will be wanting to come on boost all the time. F28 is the best. As for shafts save and spend the money properly 1st time round as i personnaly don't thinkk they are strong enough on an XE let a lone a LET. Just my opinion mate.
