why isnt it?

your xe conversion must have had some custom parts

once 1 person has done it someone else will do it then more and more will pop up meaning someone will build a few floor plans that are going to be sold thus bringing part prices down

off the self item's yes - 1 engine mount and a power carp - nothing else custom..

for the cost you could be a much quicker and better car..

im doing mine because it's cheap and fastish and could be returned back to standard very easy too, if i ever wanted to do it

And while its rare its going to cost an absolute bomb. Which would mean, it would make more sense to buy a car designed to have 4x4 as standard.

all engine conversions are pointless when you could just go out and buy a faster standard car

Not when they have been done in great amounts so all past are fairly cheap and easily avaliable.

this is true. All down to personal preference and individuality.

If he wants a 4WD Turbo Corsa, then try and help the guy out. Not say how pointless it is etc.

What people say they want and what they can actually do / get are two completely different things. Just trying to make him realise the amount of work, cost and time that would need to go into it.

and it's something you can do easily on your driveway with limited tool's...

not like a full on custom 4x4, which would probably cost the best part of 10k, and not a driveway job

the reason i want a 4x4 c20let corsa is,i want to be diffrent simple,i see what you are saying about instead of spending lots of money on a corsa go out and buy an evo or sumtin thats standard with 4x4,i like evos they are great cars but where i stay they are like arses every1 has 1,and if an evo pulled into a car park that you were in you would probaly not pay much attention but if a 4x4 c20let corsa pulled in you would probaly take more notice!and at the end of the day not every1 has the same taste in cars,some people like evos some dont and some people like corsas and others dont!

Engine conversions are one thing but i'd say going 4x4 is to far, cost far outways the benefits.

blair

lot of money but i know someone who has they gear you need,

but it'd be better off with a chopped up cosworth floorpan like that cavalier getting built on mig

the price is gonna have lots of 0000's after it though.

no probs for BM conversions!

We built one, razzed it round with no doors donnuting, broken the clutch, sold the engine an box an now it sits outside the unit like it has done for over a year.

It was fun but if your doing it dont use vauxhall 4x4 stuff as its pants. You end up putting about 200kg if not more into the car to do it an then its just really over weight. A standard let would own one over the 1/4 mile an track unless you splashed out some expensive transfer box's or running gear.

Oh also ours was a floor off a minty mint calibra turbo that I cut up.

fair play to you blair fuck what everyone else saying it would cost a fortune if thats what you want well go for it bud.

custom 4wd c20let will be fucking

will keep my eye out for info for you mate

if you want to buy a evo, scobbie, bmw or anything fast, fair play go buy one but there would be jaws dropping if a 4wd corsa kicked the arse outta an evo or that. Come on people this guy is looking for support and info not a dressing down give him a boost and get of your arses and find info for him

RANT OVER
