i'll give ya £100.01 for it...... ooh and a bag of crisps:thumbs:

i've seen worse deals!

update: bought the whole car for 100

nope, but you'll still need to buy them though. Also cally shafts are equal length and help reduce torque steer. also randomly it's worth getting the final bit of the gearlinkage (bit that connects to the gearbox to the S bit) as it's useful in the conversion.

right...meeting up with the lad tonight i think. so need to ask him for:
engine (obviously)
gearbox
ecu
loom
brakes
shafts
hubs
and then buy an engine mount off LM?
i'm not buggered if i cant get the shafts, hubs and brakes am i?

The shaftys, hubs and brakes would be good toot hen you take the hubs out machine them and opress in to corsa hubs and just the engine mount to fit it, much cheaper than a fitting kit.

take the engine, gearbox, ecu, loom,

then u will need the fitting kit mentioned above(or bits of it), mpi fuel pump.....

wot else....

cheers buddy...what about ecu and loom etc though? should i nab all this from the calibra?

you'll need the conversion kit from a place like crossvaux for £480 I think it costs or just ask Lee Mitchell to make them up for a price for you, you'll also need the F20 :)

cheers guys. arranging the test drive for sometime this week. Might see if hes getting rid of anything else such as seats....i dont think i would want them but would probs sell them on here for pretty cheap.

and what exactly do i need from the calibra?
cheers, steve

While it's out and cheap, get it stripped, inspected and rebuilt. Fit uprated cams, get the head pressure checked, have it ported and skimmed, ARP bolts and you're good for another 150k

Buy it stick it in the garge, save the money of a rebuild for only if you need it, these engines go on for ever, I put a 144k engine in recently and it's going on no problems, might be worth running it up to temp then do a compression test to see how the engine is, 190 across all of them is good. good luck.

Thats a total bargin mate, even if its running bad you could give it a rebuild for not much money

buy it and get it rebuilt ready for the conversion! good deal uve got there mate

apparently everything is included.....needs to be removed from the car.
my insurance comp were going to let me do a 1.6 16v conversion anytime after october this year. For the past 20 mins i have been trying to ring them so they can tell me to get stuffed lol
Think for this they will make me wait unill i'm 19 (april) for the conversion but for 100 quid i may aswell keep it in my garage until then........good idea?:wave:
