The constant movement would flake the paint wouldn't it?
I don't think it'd suit the smooth lines of the car anyway.

UPDATE: 18/11/07
got stuck in the sand the other day on the beach lol so my mate came to try and tow me out and he got stuck aswel:
Finaly got space in my mates garage to start work on taking the engine out of the calibra.
couldnt get hold of an engine crane till tommorro so we cut the front end off and thought we'd drag it out..
heres what we got done today..
engine was all ready to come out but we couldnt drag it because the power steering pump was caught so in the end we decided to wait untill tommorro to get the engine crane and move it out properly
so the engine is all unbolted and ready to be jacked up and moved away from the calibra tommorro and i mite start taking the engine out of my corsa ready depending on what time i finnish uni
thats all for now...

UPDATE: 19/11/07
Engine fully out of calibra, changed the sump because we cracked it when taking the engine out lol..
Some pics of the calibra after we were finnished with it..
Then the gypos came to take away the calibra..
So, with that out of the way it was now time to get my car in and make a start on taking the old engine out..
out with the old..
In with the new..
So the engines pretty much in now, just need to wait untill tommorro to get some oil and finnish off doing some wiring and then hopefully it on the road
