aye well thats what i was hoping to find...the hole car so i can just take things off and swap. Id love a Z20let but the funds i have at the moment arent close enough. N im in desperate need now of an engine.....so to be fair...lookig like its just going to get a newer 1.2 put back in???? | |

quote: mine wasnt diy..a garage did the conversion...an auto elec did thw wiring...and v-tuning were MEANT to finish it off! however it all failed...car ran but in limp, stupid pointless IMO. as mentioned. the LET is an easier conversion than the 1.8....if u have the whole front end of the car its waayy easier than just the engine!:) | |

Painz weighed up the options and swapped his car for an SRI in the end iirc | |

quote: As MikeE said, speak to Chaz - that'll put you off the idea :lol: He tried a hell of a lot and failed :( So sold it. Couple of other people tried on CC|UK too, and gave up. | |
