so let me no what u think of what i have done so far and any ideas 4 the car would be great lol

cheers matt.

to the site mate, nice car u got there. looks really smart. was there much difference between the 1.2 and 1.4? and didnt u just go straight for the c20xe?

nice car though mate get sum more pics up.

hello & , i would of fitted a x18xe1 as it bassed on the same block as a x14xe so would fit in the same as the x14xe but would give you loads more power for your money, if in the future you wanna swap to a x18xe1 then it will be simple

cheers and i went straight to the 1.4 cos i had a honda civic and my mate had the sri so we swapped cars and he gave money on top and the convertion was pretty simple i just dropped the 1.2 engine and box with the hole front suspension and removed the 1.2 wiring loom for the engine from the transfer box then put the new wiring in and slid the 1.4 engine box suspension under mine and just lowered the car on to it. but iv seen a few c20xe engines on ebay so gonna try and get one lol

cheers for the advice mate and dependin on money im tryin to get a c20xe engine but if it works out to exspensive may consider the x18 so is the loom the same on the engine or would i need the loom for the engine and is the connector plug the same as on the 1.4 cos mine has a big blue plug that sits near the inlet

hopefully to mo i will be able to fit my coilovers and side skirts so if it gets done will get some more pics up

the car is finally lowered dont like speed bumps tho lol. will try and get pics up tomo oh and had to fit 14 inch steel wheels cos my fan blades rub so if anyone is interested they are £100 or a swap for a set of 14inch corsa sri wheels or gsi wheels
