Since i bought the ashtray off Kev, iv been wanting to LET it. But recently iv been thinking of other options, being eiter a 2.5 v6 or replace the ecotec engine with a c20xe on tbs. Or to just go ahead with the LET.
Iv already had the LET, i loved it to bits, great fun. But thinking i fancy something differant.
opinions on this? Discuss. Also added a wee poll to help me make up my mind.

Dont know if i would want to take a LET to phase 4. Wanting to keep everything as reliable as possible, had enough problems with the LET in my old corsa.

a swaying argument, look for each of the engines/components. whichever comes along first at the right price buy it.

My old corsa was running phase 2 i think, i have a short memory 
Anyway put out 249 on the rollers, and it didnt hang around. Only thing that annoyed me was the turbo lag.
And also the fact the corsa was a lighter shell and stripped out interior. I would have to do something extra with a LET in the astra.
