correct burgo,if its in a corsa id defo use the small block box as the 1.7 flywheels weigh a ton compared to the 1.5 ones,the 1.5s rev a lot quicker due to this:thumb:Quote:

I plan on machining a Td flywheel to suit the friction plate from an xe and running the f18 or f20 with the longer 5th with an uprated Xe clutch
Well i ran mine like this and no issues, i personally think the 1.7 is overrated compared to a good 1.5 use a good quality clutch is all you needQuote:

Vaux running gear is awesome, ive never snapped a shaft or done a box, ive done loads of clutches in even the nova xe hasnt died, only shaft i did was tigra cv due to me driving with a ripped boot and being lazy, my saxo had axles, shafts, box, mountings lower arms shocks just basicaly rubbishQuote:
