Right got a swap offered for my car 2nite,...

mines a R-reg Corsa sport 1.6 16v in dark blue with fsh blabla, been offered a swap with an M-reg sri red but with c20let, full cally leather/brakes.etc...

its standard lookin from the outside, apart from 15" cesaro alloys and lowered, im planning black post97 bumpers and speedlines, and a badgeless grille and thats all,

but where should i go with the engine? its a recon from vauxhall only 45k on it, 1st things a dump valve i know that then probably a chip....is this sounding ok so far? but how much are dump valves for the c20let and anybody know which 1 is best to use?

ill post pics up when/if i decide to get it,

he's meeting me at my work 2moro, im a vauxhall technician anyway, ill have the car on the ramps and it'll be checked thoroughly, but im going to allow for some bad points but not a lot, as my car is sitting in the compound at my work needing a new back axle and a hub carrier as it started raining last week when i was supposed to fix it,

he says he'll still do the swap with the damage

F28 is a very worthwhile move.
Forget the F20.
