Corsa B shape

Hello Everyone.

I need a bit of help I dont know weather to buy a 5 door 1.4l or the 3 door 1.0l ....any suggestions please?

Thanks in advance

Depends on what engine code the 1.4 is Tbh there's some that only had like 60hp and they worth poo

But on the otherside if you buy the 1.4 it's alot easier to swap engines compared to the 1.0

If it's a long term project I'd say 1.4 but for a runaround that you'll sell in a year's time the 1.0

To be fair i do want it as a run around as i haven't got a car atm. Decisions :/

Plus the 1.0 has more problems as a 1.4 8v

1.4 More door

Cheers for the reply lads i think ill go with the 1.4 ... i should have it by the end of the week

1.4 is probably slower than the 1.0 unless it's a nova engine, the 8v they stuck in the corsa(bar the early Sri) was horrible

I am thinking off puting a saab turbo lump in as my friend had it done to his corsa a few years back

1.8 or 2l ? How hard is that to do compared to a c20let?

i think im going with the 1.8. He said it was a pretty easy conversion as it uses the cav engine mounts and slots right in ... the only thing he had trouble with was the wiring.

Oh yeah, and what sort of power would it be pushing out?

Should be pushing out about 150bhb if i get a 6 speed or about 120-130 with a 5 speed
