please for the mother of God and all that is holy, don't do this. You will regret the shit out of it later on.

To be honest; If i had the money to do this and run it after id be looking at a better car instead... :S

I've been advised before and taken it into consideration but XE just doesn't do it for me.

Do you have any idea how quick a c20let corsa is? My bet is you last 2 weeks before killing yourself, and anyone else involved.

The only person that would die would be me . . I don't drive "fast" with anyone else in the car, I know what driving fast with others in the car does and I don't intend on expirencing it first hand. With others in the car I drive at sensible speeds because I care for my friends more than what they think of my driving etc.

Thats silly money! If you have that kind of money at your disposal buying a better car would be the wise thing to do. If you go ahead with it you'll probably look back and wish you hadn't spent all that money

Maybe, maybe not. Only way to find out in life is to try.

Yes I agree learn by your mistakes and all that.

But theres no harm in listening to the sensible side of the story either

Are you going to look back in a year or 2 and say I wish I had bought a better car instead of spending all my money on this one and now I fancy a new car I cant cos I've spent all my money on an old Corsa...

fitting is same as an xe. 6speed needs the speedo ring on the diff changed to read right for the clocks, then needs linkage modified to get all the gears. other than some pipes its fairly straight forward like an xe is. theres a hole massive 5 bolts to make the engine fit. cutting the front panel normally only needs done if you fit a massive silicone air filter to turbo hose, even then they will go in just be a bit squashed. at 18 though........well, people have already said it all i guess.
