the thing im worried about is my corsa in quite low and the weight of an engine in the back will mean it may scrub. and its a 3/4 hour trip so not good

I picked up a 1400 sport engine in the back of my old corsa which was lowered 60mm on 15" softstars and it didn't rub at all.

ahh, your running corsa C SRi wheels(ps nice wheels, i want some ) - not the correct offset of b's, hence the rubbing..

not know anyone over 21 to rent a van for you, say your dad or a mate? then bring it back that way?
