yeah the X16XE will fit easier, and you WONT get a C16XE with low milage unless its been re-built like mine (6500mile hehe) not all X16XE had air con it was an option, go for the X16XE its easier and ya will get a low milage one, end of the day yacan remove the ecotec shit and basically have a C16XE, dont forget to get the transponder chip key when ya buy the engine otherwise ya wont beable to start the engine ever cos its an immobolisor | |

is the C16XE the non ecotec one? X16XE models have aircon but my car doesnt does this matter? i basically just want the most direct fit engine (1.6 16V) so am i right in thinking that the X16XE (sport model engine) will fit easier than the C16XE GSi model? | |

/\ as he said, its a good cheap conversion, if ya get a X16XE it will be even more straight foward, due to the looms beign the same | |

quote: still am yeah i scrapped the shell of the old corsa at the weekend tho - too much rust in places & other bits wring with it so thought instead of patching it up will search for a better one. Plus I kinda gave up a bit & thought fek it... but I've found a garage now which I can use, so gona sort myself with a new daily-driver first & then sort the rest. The LET's are sat in a safe place ;) | |

if i was gonna pay that i would be fitting a C20XE instead, how mad is that, you can fit a complete C20XE into a corsa which its not meant to fit into for the same exuvilent as a head for a X14XE. Vauxhall the robbing bastards | |
