some alloys,
lower it a little,
some new brakes,
then deside on the engine (cant be to stupid, ill have to use it everyday with out fail lol)
and the best bit, iv got 38mpg :D lol
Have you painted the black bits nick? Why not just tune the x16? or fit an x18xe1?
im not too clued up on this anymore tbh lol
x18xe1? that just go in, on the normal mounts, shafts ect:
what about the PAS pump, not to bothered about A/C but i want PAS still :P
X18 is Vec or Corsa C 1.8 16v isnt it??
The x18xe1 is out of astrag/vectra b. Standard 115bhp out of the box but lots of tuning potential. yes it's small block and Yes you can keep the p/s and probably the a/c too. Alex w pointed me in the right direction of a good wip on corsasport, will see if i can find it.
there's also a very nice s/c astra g 1.8 knocking about too.
but i can get 115bhp by throwing £100 at my 1.6 lol
Do that then?Quote:

Im sure you can get to the tensioner by taking the drivers side wheel, hub assembly & strut off/out way :SQuote:

Nick just take the whole mount assy off, i've done a few, they're not that bad. Like mike says, just fit a powerbox?
who fancys getting me a copy of the haynes on how to remove the engine mount, as i cant see how to do it with out ditching that lot, i cant even get a spanner on the pas pump due to the rad and a/c rad lol
throttle bodies and managment are allowen ment to get them x18 engines to and over 150 hp
You do have to "ditch that lot" lol. take the ac pump and ps pump off first.Quote:

then all the aircon pipes get in the way lol
im ditching the aircon anyway, cfc letting go :p
anyway to ditch the pump?
The aircon is a right mission to remove mate, compressor is up behind glovebox & goes through the scuttle. Can remove PAS easily enough & swap it out for EPAS with a manual rack from an early Corsa.Quote:

The aircon you mean?
Its, well, not to easy really :/
just get the GRINDER out!
air con is easy to remove from just the bay. just remove the compressor, condensor, reciever/dryer and all pipework, then get a belt setup from a non A/C corsa and you're away.and if you can remove all those things without a grinder, you could sell them and make a few quid too.
and if you want to remove it from the interior too, just take the dash out, fit a heater box from a non A/C corsa, and Robert is your mothers brother
thats all im doing, i cant sell the pump, the clutch and pulley are ****ed, and making a racket lolQuote:

Oh, and I actually like the idea of GSI kit and white slabs lol (awaits natives)
There worth **** all mate, I had an entire Corsa B aircon setup on eBay for 99p start & it didnt even sell.
oh well, suppose it is only an egg lol if it were off a real car it might do better lol
If the "wining" sound is just when cold then it will probably be the SAI system. It pumps air into the exhaust manifold to warm up the cat. It runs when the engines cold and sounds like a Dyson.
slabs look good on corsa's mate, just do it like nike lol
nar adam, SAI is no longer on there still does itQuote:

its not a simple as just ditching the pulley and putting a shorter belt on, lol
