why is it a shitty diesel? i know what your saying about getting a C, makes alot more sense, but i prefer the corsa b's. just thought it'd make a nice change rather than seeing something thats already been over done??  
TBH mate, you can't overdo something that works really well hence the amount of XE's and LET Corsa's.
Being 'different' is normally just not as good as if it was we would all be doing it 
this is very true and is starting to make me doubt the whole idea, i dont want a car that will be screaming round the track or breaking rollers  im not gunna lie, the faster the better lol. but ive had an xe and was great fun, but im just trying to open the horizons on another good project  i really do appreciate all the comments though!!

Can get a complete engine for a couple hundred quid, a cheap front mount a turbo back exhaust, 25 psi with fueling to match and you can make 120-125bhp 180+ lb ft

I want a cdti conversion in my astra, would be the perfect engine imho
but at a cost of roughly £3k its not worth it

Mine was nippy, wind up the fueling and turbo and there sharp enough. 150bhp isn't to hard to achieve with plenty of torque
