and i absolutely love it its amazing i have gone from a 1.2 8v so a rather large jump and the car actually goes somewhere when you put your foot on the throttle. I have had a permenant smile on my face all day, i would sudgest that anyone thinking of doing it does it as soon as possible you will not be dissappointed. I did the conversion myself with help from a few mates and it really isnt that hard especially as we have some great guys on here to help if you get stuck big thumbs up to Beardy and Lee mitchell very nice blokes and very willing to help out cheers guys.

My first experience in a bigger engine corsa was from my 1.2 8v, to corbs 2.0 LET (although i wasnt driving) just took my breath away, as i was slammed into the back of my seat with a BIG smile

i want a 2lt but insurance company wont let me, but next year
