3.5k minimum fittin, plus engine, plus a corsa, plus uprating everything, plus fixing it because it'll break all the time.

Might as well buy a vxr tbh.

Its not a conversion that is done very often so there is more chance of there being niggles with things like shafts and CV's and electrical things etc

You can get a corsa VXR for 10k now.

You're spending at least over half that all in to get the engine in a B.

It's not money over time either, you need all the bits and to pay the fitting.

That's a big deposit on a VXR then you could pay the rest up, you get a car thats not 10+ years old, warranty, nice interior, chasis designed for it, etc etc etc, just doesn't seem cost effective to me

I'd rather have the VXR's engine in my Corsa's B's engine bay than a Corsa D. They are disgusting!!! They just look horrid. The inside is a plastic joke. The outside looks like a hippo.

I'd be much happier to be inside a Corsa B with that engine on a standalone management and pay £10 for that than £10 for a new Vauxhall (yes all of them!!!).

I must say a lot of you are absolutely clueless, John is about the only person talking sense in here.

Z16LER with 300bhp That will cost you 10k alone.
