theres always something that isnt quiet right, like Pricer's kept poping boots and shafts, just little bits

jamie did you get my message on FB?

yeah always small little stuff that could go wrong, head is my main concern it was porous and i done a mod to it, but until engine runs i dont know if its fixed or not and if its not fixed then head will have be back off and buy a new head

and message about bushes nath?

Ohh okayy
are you gonna strenghten the chassis or anything?

you dont have to strengthen a corsa chassis to run a c20xe thats only a nova you have to do that with. but strengthen a chassis on a corsa if your running a c20let

ohh cheers for the info
But take it you need stronger driveshafts for a c20xe?

no not really, you can use the 1.6 shafts as they have the right splines to fit the larger cv joints on to go into the big block F20 gearbox but they do make stronger shafts if you do want to upgrade tho if your going for more power.
