my mates selling a c20let engine, f28, loom, ecu, he's looking for a grand for it all, if your intrested, he lives by me and would obv be collection due to size and quantity.

[Steve46]

hmm, miles? standard?

pics?

what else would i then need? all the drive shafts and brakes and sthat bits

[PRICER]

im not sure mate, and i dont know, and i havnt got any lol i think he's got the head off it atm tho, i can give him a bell just to make sure he hasnt sold it then if he still wants to sell it, i can give you his number

[Steve46]

well just ask him them questions if you could mate, but more than likely wont take it, your quite far away

dont want to leed you on

[PRICER]

with that you would need, shafts either the motorsport shafts orr calibra half shaft with motorsport outer CV joints, and then a either series 1 or series 2 engine mount depending on if you'v got a 8v or a 12/16v corsa as mounts are different, then you would need the f28 gearbox mount for the f28 gearbox obv, and thats it, the rear gearbox mount is same principle as c20xe, and so is the gear selector.

if your intrested tho, i do have a c20xe which is verry clean inside, new baffle plate, new belt, new pulleys, new water pump, F20 gerbox, calibra half shaft and one motorsport outer CV joint and one corsa gsi, stailess rear water rail, power cap, and the cam cover and belt cover and power cap are sprayed white, oh also an engine loom with corsa plug, and two ecu's one standard and one chipped suposedly 170bhp. im looking for offers around £600 for everything, and that would be collection due to size and weight also.

[Steve46]

hmm, i spose i could for for a C20XE, maybe get it running throtle bodies later on, really wanteda turbo but there gettin rarer and there more likely to go rong bein turbo


hmm, so yours would be very easy to drop into my corsa being plugged already.

what would i need to make yours fit straight in?

[PRICER]

thats everything that is, should just plug and play, thats why iv got it, im on the look out for a new shell really to drop it in to, but its here anyway if you really want it, but id be a bit reluctant to sell but a good price may tip me to sell it if i must....

[Steve46]

ah fair enough, hmm nearly was going to sell my shell, well i probs would for the right price haha, but want to get it sorted cuz have so much fun in it sounds really tempting but think ill let you keep it andhave your fun and im going to hold out for a turbo really want a turbo

[Steve46]

whats the chances of finding a doner car for a C20let do we think then??

also if i could find an engine with loom, can i just buy uprated calibra brakes and fit them to my corsa?

[PRICER]

yes you can, you can fit them now, 2.0 and v6 brakes are a direct swap to the corsa's, iv got a 1.2 corsa and im running 2.0 brakes but you have to have 15" wheels or bigger with the 2.0 brakes, and you can run the v6 brakes under 15" rims only just but you will have to remove your wheel weights as they will catch on the caliper, so it would be best to get 16" or 17 depending on the look your going for.

[Steve46]

ah wicked, so i could order a set of ap brakes then? ill just ask for ones to fit a calibra yea? and theyl fit straight on the corsa?

ive got caceroes cant remeber what size they are, are they 15s?

[PRICER]

urmm i cant see why not, but you would have to have confirmation, but i do just know that 2.0 and v6 brakes are a direct fitment. so i can only guess that if you buy uprated brakes to fit a vauxhall which usually had 2.0 or v6 brakes then yes they should be a direct fit. but i would like someone else to confirm this also.

[Steve46]

yeah thats the theory can some one please comfirm yay or de nay? cheers very much apprcieated
