if using 6-speed box, different, mount, need to lower tiebars
may need to "adjust" slam panel for airfilter to turbo pipe,
wiring should be same as xe
shafts same same as you would use on xe
other mounts same as when fitting xe

Not sure, I asked him for a quote for him to supply everything and a full engine rebuild. Think he quoted about £3,500 for everything

I doubt anyone will even touch you tbh, only people that will do engine conversions dont even touch 18 year olds, no matter what the car. Do you plan to insure it?

I called around some time earlier on this year and found two companies that would cover me at 18, can't remember so they were as the mother cleaned my desk again . So I'll have to call around again to find out who they were.

Over £5,000 . Now I'll get flamed by everyone for paying over the odds for insurance . Can't remember figures exactly because it was earlier this year.

You're not bothered on paying 5k to insure a CORSA? save ther 5k for 4 years and buy yourself a better car when your 21! Then you might actually get a decent insurance quote...
