2litre all the way, the way i look at it, if i bought a fats car - astra gsi turbo id then want coilovers rims etc and it all sorts again!
The only car i wouldnt touch is an evo!
So with your corsa, u got an exterior you love, leather you love, and the power there for when you need it.
All round a faster car that will surprise people and be fun to drive!
Your choice but look on mig for people selling fast 20xe's that have been rebuilt
speak to lee about the brakes and fitting prices!
£1600 all up thats drive in with 1.4 drive out with 2.0!!

it is defo worth it mate.. mines is just in and i cant believe the difference it makes to the car, so smooth pulls u in every gear, hills i used to go up in 2/3rd gear i can accelerate in 5th.. get a shot of one and let the bug bite :thumbs:

well, iv beening thinking about it alot over night, and the valver has to go in!! il buy a cheap valver, and get it re-built, then poss get lee to fit it! will b a long project but b worth it in the end:D

stick an XE in it, 2litre vauxhall engines are only same reliability as any other engine, it may break, it may not.
just because the litreage consumption of air rises doesn't mean the engines are poorly built does it?

ttt, descisions descisions andy, ummm

Go for the valver, definately mate! Make sure you get all the servicing done while its out of the car, get a proper exhast fitted as soon as possible and you shouldnt have too many problems. Get some silicon hoses too if you can afford it

Well Is Ur Going To Get A Valver Make Sure You Do It Right.

Full Rebuild, Cams Headwork, Twin 45's Or Tb's Pocket Pistons, Etc Etc. They It Wont Just Be Standard And You Wont Get Board As Quick..

well i know, i have spent loads on my corsa, and by putting a valver in, it has finished the project!! but the money in which u have to put into getting the valver going and maintanice is high!! i think i could get 4k for mine! but im very bored of the speed of the 1.4, had it for 3 years now!!! need 2lrt or above:D

First rule of fast club , start with a fast car

I always WONDER about fitting a 2ltr in MINE and then hope that it would BE reliable.......but nowadays my engine is NEAR 100,000miles so A old XE will prob be better condition

depends are you bored of the corsa's looks? if so sell it and change to a faster car, if u like the corsas look, stick a rebuilt valver in

After all the effort you've put into yours you'd be daft to sell up. Stick a Valver in there and finish it off :D

well just had a good quote on some fast cars!! making me think...do i sell v corsa, and get something standard and fast!! or put a valver in mine??? but the only thing which is worring me about the valver, is that I DONT WANT it breaking ever mile or two!! i WILL have to RE-BUILD the valver anyway, and get LEE to fit it!

i NEEEEEEEDD more power, but where do i look???

plus how much would i get for mine as it is??

help..
