easier to get a x14xe alot cheaper to get and alot less hassle than the corsa c, but there a pain as you will basically need a donner car as you need engine, gearbox, shafts, hubs, brakes, loom, ecu, the chip out the key (i think) the little black box behind the ignition.

yep jordyp your correct, to be honest mate its not worth the hastle, its alot cheaper and less hastle to just buy another corsa, and shell your car into it, then sell your original car on.
