Cheers for the help!

Don't want a 1.6 either, will get fed up with that too quick...........Was gonna ask Lee, but can get it done cheaper than chips, i just have to buy the parts and give him the car........

Gotta look at brakes and coilovers now...:D

Nahhh, I still dont think LET's are all that great in a corsa. Dont see the point in haveing an engine that tries to spin teh wheels up all the time.

XE is deffo the way to go :D

Speak to Lee Mitchell. The whole conversion inc engine only costs about £1500! Takes him 1 week to do as well.

I'd just prefer not to have a turbo, would rather get TB's and feel more reassured that i ain't gonna pop it...
