Heya all im looking round for a 1.8 sxi corsa C to buy and modify slowly and turn it into a real head turner but im having no luck finding one so i was just wondering do they do a 2litre conversion for the Corsa C beacuse if so im gona get a 1.2 and convert it if anyone knows can you give me a shout! :thumbs_up:

Look on ebay, local scrap yards. Are you looking for a 20LET or a 20XE?

2 litre Let

 

[Stuart]

Be prepared to pay a fair amount for one in good condition, with not hundreds of miles clocked up - aswell as all the drive shafts, engine mounts, gearbox, ecu, wiring loom, brakes.. list goes on.
I think davey from up Scotland knows a fair crack about them, have a word with him. His forum name is mnvcorsa something something

Also, how old are you? Insurance is a killer if your under 24/25 on a turbo car?

z20let (turbo) is apparently plug and play on the corsa c's. If your current corsa is in good nick it's worth considering that instead.

just turned 19 im driving a 1.4 now but i want to buy the car keep it my garage and work on it and money isnt really a problem to be honest ive just had a big payout :thumbs_up:

Is there a 1.8 sxi, I thought the 1.8 just came as an sri. Also you can do a z20let conversion, if I remember correctly it is about 5000

Source a z20let then and away you go. It will probably cost a few thousand but in the long run you will still have the reliability of a new car, the street sleeper factor, the power, and the fact that there are very few turbo corsa c's at the moment.

exactly :thumbs_up:

I am looking to do it in the future myself, but got to save up a lot first lol
