the above prices are for corsas m8
i rec u could even get it cheaper then that, as crossvaux will fit a 1.6 16v GSi engine into a corsa for 250
so i dont know why a Astra would be any differant, one in one out.....

the astra may be cheaper, would have to look into it, but a GSI will just fit in on same mounting places and shafts will be there, so u wouldent need a fitting kit, just a Full astra GSi engine box shaft loom ECU...so i a astra would be about 1k (if u had someone fit it)
just thinking about it, so u2u is abit off :D hehe

I am looking at chucking a 2litre into my Corsa. 2.0 16V hopefully. Cant do much work myself except brakes and suspension, engine wise I would have to get someone else to put it in for me. How much would I be looking, still around £1500?? also what kind of place do I need to be looking for?? A coach works or something??
