ok well just on the post on mig it states

"The engine is the 20XE not the C20XE and is not a Coscast"

so just made me ask

thankyou guys

it looks as if ed has retracted his statement.... :|

i think the c20xe had a cat, and the 20xe is usually refered to as "coscast" meaning the cylinder head was made by cosworth ,

other than that not much

I know, deleted it :o
