I have spent the past few nights compiling alot of data about the fitment and parts needed for a corsa c20xe conversion.
Can you all take a look and help me with any errors.
It is a bit rusty in places and still needs a bit of tidying

thanks

i'll sort that then. I read a few places that said it doesn't work or fit. If you got it in then it must do!

Do you not have to use a 1.0L corsa throttle cable?
And if you buy the conversion hubs youll have to get new corsa wheel bearings.

you can get an m-tech short shift that is specific to the 2.0 conversion from LMF for about £70, makes things easier and more reliable than trying to bodge it.
LMF linkage

Also, there are wiring adapter kits from somone on MIG. He is on here aswell iirc.
