Well weird as my old 2l 16v GLS had both 4 stud and 288mm discs. LOL, fook it! | |

the 288mm 4 studs are fitted to the Elise IIRC | |

the vec will be 5 stud but i think it will still be the 256mm brakes so you can order them in 4 stud! | |

ainsley makes some good points. you will have to check the brakes on the vec, make sure they are not 5 stud, because you will need them too! all standard Corsa brakes are shocking, even the GSi ones. but you could always just fit some ATE calipers from the Astra GTE for example. not expensive. | |

It wont be f20 it will be f18 in that vectra, personally i would look for an f20 and dump the f18 (might have to if its hydraulic anyway) | |

I was just going to buy a base model corsa (no sunroof etc) and stick the block in that. Not sure whether it'd be a early spec (non-PAS/ABS etc) or a later spec (like a 1l 12v with pas & ABS), just depends on what comes up in what colours etc. What would you recommend Corsa wise? | |

sounds like a good plan. the XEV is a good solid unit, and shares many common attributes with the C20XE. although only 136bhp, they are very tunable and have good torque from down low, perfect for a lightweight Corsa. Also its easy to find good mileage items going for not much money at all! | |

I'm just about to take on a new project and have decided to build a X20XEV Corsa B. I've only seen a couple about, so thought it would be a bit different to the usual C20XE conversion. |
