Right have a X14XE corsa...but want rid of it, still thinking of keeping the corsa dream alive for a play so looking into getting a new X16XE corsa and switching the parts over/getting a X16XE engine...maybe a C20XE conversion on mine.
All over the place i what to do really...want another car but dont know what to get, other than a corsa
So plan is have a play with tuning up a 1.6, so what would be acheivable for say £1000-£1250 budget, and what am i gonna see from it?
was thinking
cams???
manifold???
weight sheding
inlet manifold???
remap???
what else???
not sure what i could do for the money and whether to just buy a cheap vts/gti

Inlet - £300
Cams - £300
Verniers - £200 - Only dbilas make these.
Ex Man - £200
De-Cat - £60
Mapping - Not too sure, £300 at MSD
Total of £1360. Would give a nice incrase, but to be honest you may aswell go the throttle body route instead of doin what is listed above.
