A lot of work to convert it to a X16xe engine(map sensor)

I seem to remember R/J'ing and quickshift don't work, maybe someone can confirm...Quote:

Also has it had a respray or has it just stayed red since it came off the road?
LOL, cant afford a respray, its got a nice colour but the paint seems to have blistered on the roof like a mates did that was sprayed by the same painter (fecking nonce). I'm gonna have the roof & bonnet + bumpers redone I expect & maybe put another drivers door on + I'm hoping to get a pair of new quarters which will go on in the future.
Switching to X16 loom & sensors seems daft tbh, the AFM on these isnt a flap type like older engines, so I fail to see how its much of a restriction, the actual TB seems pretty small to me though.
Also Adam, thats not a list to finish it! Just next few jobs I've highlighted.
Glad to say I'm better now & over the dreaded tonsilitis, I was so ill last week!
Its all looking very very tasty now craig, The finish it near and I bet you cant wait to thrash it :)
Do you think you'll ever turbo the XE?
it should do, as its only the horseshoe part thats different on a QS linkage, therefore rosejointing that should work wonders IMOQuote:

Still a lot to do, yeah Keith, I'll buy another C16 & bolt the Corsa VXR manifold & turbo to it. Main issue is findong some pistons to lower the CR but tbh thats another project in itself. I do just want to thrash this tbh.
Get my monies worth & have some fun with you guys!
couldn't of said it better my slefQuote:
