you could drop a c20xe in it like a lot of people do or you could put a c16xe in it from a corsa gsi....or you could be a bit different and put a x20xev in it like im doing :D

if its the diesel then it will be, as they weight about 9400 tones
diesels are always heavy!

but i know what you mean would be diffrent
be even diffrenter and fit a 1.8t 20v lump from a golf gti should be good for 200hp
