Nice, is it still the same colour? It looks more yellow if you know what I mean.

Been giving it alot of thought, and im starting to get the itch for more power......

plus iv always wanted a turbo car, been making some enquiries and iv got my heart set on a vaux turbo conversion, normally most people have gone the C20LET route, however in my eyes technology has moved on and i want a fresher engine so deciding on a Z20LET conversion (which iv been told can be done by Mr Warren G)

Been on the scope for some, as i know corsa c's go through these engines alot i had a search on their forum and discovered this website

http://www.csautos.net/best-z20let--z20leh--c20let-engine-packages--all-gearboxes-4-c.asp

seems they have a fair few of Z20LET packages for conversions and dont have to pay all in one whack (suits me better as this wont be done until the early part of next year anyway, just wondering has anyone heard any thing good or bad about these guys??

Think i would certinaly like this car a little more with a zlet in there And i think it would be wise to go for a z20let rather than a c20let! Look forward to seeing it steve

you and me both mate, wanted boost forever, just wanna scope this CS Autos company out first, but on the whole, some interesting offers/engines available

but as mine is so light, standard Z20LET power should make me happy enough

heard back from the company that supplies the Z20LET engines, 30 day warranty from delivery and have payment packages to pay off the engines then, so could potentially have one by March depending on the payment side of things, just need to think if im going to make the plunge and buy one this month.......hmmm decisions

Engine comes complete with the following
ECU,Engine Loom,Engine Bay Loom,Transponder,Key Chip,AFM,Turbo,Complete Inlet,Aux Pump,Coolant Module,Intercooler,Map Sensor,Sensors,Hoses,Mounts,Airfilter

apart from gearbox not sure if there is anything from that im missing??

just trying to think if my XE hubs and shafts can be used? also iv got the 2.5" exhaust im guessing will have to be changed to a 3"??

anyone care to shed some light on any parts/things iv overlooked so i can start getting the right money together

A 2.5" exhaust system should be fine until you start chasing bigger power numbers. Should certainly be enough to get the car on the road and in use at least.
