There's some on ebay at the moment. I'm sure that i have read that you need use ARP head bolts with these too.

I don't actually think they do a 2mm one for the x16xe. Looking around 1.7mm seems to be the thickest gasket available off the shelf. SBD also do them but again 1.7mm

Will you post up details once you have the gasket for future ref?

I've a feeling turbo converstions will get more popular as the Corsa D parts get cheaper.

TBH phazer, The best bit from a D is the VXR turbo which can already be picked up for around £100, I just think somebody needs to find a cheaper remote oil filter setup (Perhaps using existing used parts from other cars).

Rest of it is all little bits but it all adds up

Cool thanks. Not looked into it (yet lol) so all info is good.
