would be awesome though.
not really fancying a let, and the last one was an xe.
just wanted something different. didnt think it would be to much effort, would need aftermarket management ad would have to fabricate my own mounts etc. would be worth it though

Its a lot of effort because of the fly-by-wire (or what ever its called).

Not a clue, I know he has made some for Novas but not a clue whether or not he is going to mass-produce them.

Nice to see you got one in the end
white too
Get a 1.8 in there mounts in the same as the 1.6 previously but with more torque and power as standard
Then you can either go crazy with some tb's or turbo power in the future if you wanted
Although just some cams etc will make it a bit quicker then an xe one
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

been thinking about that and c20let would be better option over z20let but still wanting a corsa vxr engine, will be worth the work
more updates will be on here today, had a very busy weekend.
just uploading pics
