Re: Better motor
go for the c20xev someone on here has one and its in mint condition. cleanest engine paint on here. cleanest one ever was a mk3 golf in white with engine bay smoothed and engine had bits of it painted red was really nice.

Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts
Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

Re: Better motor
the v6 is a fine lump to stick in a corsa but a right pain to fit ,really sound the dogs when on full chat the problems start at the first corner you come too way too heavy for a corsa

Re: Better motor
the v6 i think is a bit too hectick. iv seen pics of corsas wit the 2.5l v6 nd its tight. duno how many engine mounts needa change bt i knw wit the 2l16v its just 1 nd if i opted 4 a 18xe no mounts needa change at all. bt my mind is set on a 2l ratha than a 1.8. i wud love the c20xe but they r 10thousand rand 4 the motor alone here. nd thats imported frm the u.k. wer as the other 2l16v go 4 around 6000.

Re: Better motor
I been lookin at scrap yards hoping 2 find a write off rear end smash bt no luck. the donor car is the best way to go bt double the amount of buying parts seperate. yea sure i can sell wats nt needed bt il neva make the extra money spent back. got a connection nw 4 a c20xe for 8000 which is 2000 off of the going price 4 those motors. im still running in circles with wat da best rout nd affordable route guna b. i dnt wana go cheap. bt i dnt wana waste money
