well i think its time to grow big ball as the say and try a big block. i have had my fun out of my 120ish bhp 1.6 gsi and fancy seeing what its like with a big block i dont want a full comp spec engine just a good kill list and a bit track day action like the 1.6 did

few idea just idea


c20xe
full strip replace gaskets seals etc etc
camkit
induction
exhaust system

and i really fancy an LSD

as the corsa i was in the other day just sat spinning:roll:

what other good mods will help but not going over the top???

also not doing the car on a budget so whats these m tech conversion kits like

thanks

Big piston Bilstein Yellow fr shockers with some high poundage fr springs. ATB diff will help massively in conquering the Big block handling blues.

I would get a Courtenay Grp-N chip for the motor, oh & try & get an earlier XE from an Astra GTE as they are the best IMO. Though it will prolly need a rebuild.

Though it will prolly need a rebuild. Hallelujah! not very often you hear VX folk talking about rebuilds when doing XE conversions. Money v. well spent IMO!
