well you can have as many breaks as you want when your doin it, just depends how hungary you are :lol:
where as if u were asking about brakes, Astra gsi calipers and pads will do the trick :)

You can pick an engine up for 400-800 quid. A conversion kit starts from 575 quid. Other than that it's just labour.

The kits are designed to make the conversion DIY, so a competent mechanic should certainly be able to do it.

the corsa 2.0 conversion is easier than the nova conversion as u dont need to strengthen engine bay

Put a post up on www.migweb.co.uk

A few have done it on there will be able to help.

I done my nova in a weekend and had never done one before.

I think my 1.4SRi engine is on its way out and I am thinking of getting a 2.0 16v conversion. What I want to know is what's the average price of the whole conversion?

And also, does a garage have to do the conversion or can a pretty competant DIY mechanic (ex-AA man) do it? (This would be much cheaper for me coz he's a mate!)
