You need to have an Xe conversion so you can use the bigger Cv's then you can get some 5 stud front hubs from Lmf or Chris Astley motorsport a set of disc pads and calipers then you need a rear disc conversion kit and a set of Cav V6 rear hubs with calipers disc's and pads all in all it's not a cheap mod but worth it

i used calibra turbo front hubs machined down to 34mm from 39mm!

yes matey it will. If you've already got bigger flanges then take them out and get some V6 or turbo flanges machined down to match yours

I agree as there is to many Xe'd corsa's out there.
Took it for a proper blast today and it felt alot quicker than an Xe'd corsa
Plus it sounds alot better to

the whole point in doing it is to take advantage of the weight and power to weight, hence tuning 1.6's, or simply fitting LET's

the V6 imo, is lazy in power and doesnt do much for the handling.

well done for doing it yourself though and all credit for that

The conversion was pretty cheap for my mate as the dearest bit was the Coilovers.
The Cali V6 was a bargain and we made money back by selling stuff off the car.
Your right about the power but some Friends of R's have Corsa Turbos and there run

but it's the sound of a V6 and the look on peoples faces when you open the bonnet to show them.
As Beardy has said many times you do the convertion coz you want to
The traction is good as there's minimal wheel spin

Bit of an update with the V6.
Went to Exhaustsuk.co.uk on Saturday morning for a System to be made for it and wot a difference and wot a system really good quality.The sound is unreal never heard a Corsa sound like that. The Chaps at Exhaustsuk really impressed with it soon as they new wot was in it they opened the bonnet and the look on there face's was a picture. The lad who did the Exhaust said it was the best sounding Corsa he's ever heard. So people wanting a good system give them a ring
