Ive jus put v6 vectra discs on me car an it only cost£250 an it stops on a pin now if thats any good:look:

i normal try and throw 2lt 16v brakes in as £500 for a engine is like top price so when doing the deal for the engine with whoever i get it for i get them to throw some brakes in
and as for suspention u only really need to lower it
so thats about £60 for some springs

so thats about £1600 with brakes and susp thrown in

ahhh that's the one i'd heard :)

yeah, u cut the bottom of the astra downpipe off , turn it the other way then weld it to the corsa zorst :)

Yeah that's sort of what I meant :look:

It's meant to be quite easy tho with a bit of 'piping' init?

Lee includes temporary joining of the manifold to your current exhaust system... I then had my exhaust redone at Powerflow from manifold back to my old backbox...

more for stopping

more for boasting :D

you dont need 4pots.... but id rather have em

dont need 4 pots either

actually heres a question...

Im gettin hydraulics...is that gonna fuk up everything in terms of power?

if your serious about it and want decent brakes susp etc etc..

engine and m-tec kit etc - 1500
brakes 4pots etc - 600+
susp - 500+

thats it.

you dont need strut braces
you dont need 'better' tyres

£1500 all in price (inclusive of engine)

Other costs:
Suspension
Brakes
Exhaust

Other stuuf includes:
Better tyres to deal with the power.
Strut braces etc..

maybe it does never looked into it, i thought the £1500 just included pvd kit etc etc.

my mistake!! :look:

£1500 includes engine doesnt it?

suspension - well depends what you get say coilovers £500

brakes - £100 or so

engine - around £500 inc box

then allow for other bits and bobs so you could be talking about £2500 - £3k

dont think so, wouldnt be to much more for 2lt brakes etc....u2u lee mitchell or beardy mate

but that dont include brakes an that

lee mitchell or beardy do a drive in drive out conversion for about 1500 notes me thinks.....:thumbs:

I kinda know roughly what the price is for the engine and conversion...but before I make any decision, I want to know what other things I need to consider and buy.

How much should I budget for?

Cheers :thumbs:
