    advice please.

    ok. i currently have a 1995 Corsa B which after talking to a company they would be willing to put the X30XE enjine into it. However they insisted they would only do it under the condition i improved the brakes and suspensions.

     

    Does anyone have any recomendations for the best brake and suspension kits avalible for a Corsa B?

    why use that engine? pointless! use the breaks from a calibra or cavalier.or buy an upgrade kit as for suspension ive no idea really.but id go with the gsi ones if ye must do it.

    X30XE isnt that the eco tec? if it is i wouldnt bother mate ye best with the redtop. or an 8v from an old cav or sumat. the 8v's tune more than the 16's

    the X30XE is the 3L V6 m8. Wouldnt exactly call that eco friendly. I was origionaly going for the 2L 12Valve when they said they would do the X30XE for the same price.

    fuck yeah it is! still an eco tec though. they cant takea good thrash. im sure there was a feature in fc a few years ago on a black corsa with the same conversion. do a redtop conversion ye self. the loom is an absolute piece of piss and ye can get a mounting kit and shafts for about 400 buns.it really is quite easy
