@Pspete1000 they handle well if you tune them right which with that lump in it you have to do otherwise the front end just fks off from u lol. I wanna do this. Jus wondering how fast it actually is. I had. A 1.6 sport lowered with all 4 strut braces handled like it was on rails where I pointed it it went scared me alot
what happened to your front bumper? I guess its so fast the wind deformed the bumper or the engine needed so much air the engine compartment had become a vaccuum haha
That must be so immense fast corsa??? 900kg or less? with the engine maybe <1000kg and how much power? +200bhp that is fun
@DoffyCoffy Z20LET is the newer 2 litre turbo used in the 04 plate vauxhalls and newer EG astra coupe and vxr range just newer and have higher potential C20LET are the old but bullet proof engines also fit into corsa rather snug :D hope i helped mate
depends on the indiviual c20lets are easier to convert into these corsa's
Body kit, and other tack on shite horrible. Engine work, nothing but respect. I'm much a prefer of the track day or stealth cars, than a show boat car, I'd rather have a hidden weapon that something that screams look at me. I don't like corsas, but still admire the engine work :)
@kondziaaa123 You must have gone to Specsavers?! Isn't it funny how out of all 184 comments you're the only person who has commented on the damaged bumper?
I had the bodykit fitted not long after buying the car and, after a couple of years of owning it, I was only really interested in increasing the performance. I would have had the bumper repaired eventually but never got round to it and I no longer own the car.
@FubuMushu Another Specsavers customer? I suggest you find something more productive to do with your time than pick fault with my old car. I spent ££££'s and worked very hard on the C20LET conversion so to have muppets like you pointing out problems with the exterior is really quite insulting and a little irritating also. Jog on....
@nathgreen40 Dude chill, i was just carrying on the momentum. It's actually a really nice car, i've always had a soft spot for B's but ended up with a C then a D. If i didn't get my D i would have Zlet'd my C aswel cos i heard with the kits that are out now its fairly easy to do.
@FubuMushu Sorry bud. I've had a few idiots commenting on this video and wrongly assumed you were another member of that group. Appreciate your comments. I've never done a Z20LET conversion myself but, as I understand, it's not the mounting of the engine that's the main problem, so much as the electrical side of things- the throttle is fly by wire and the loom is generally much more complex than the older C series engines. What engine do you have in your D?
@nathgreen40 Yea i heard that too, my last C was a 1.0i haha but apparently the conversion would be easy with it being the 1.0i cos the ecu is compatible apparently with the appropriate remap. I have a 1.7 Cdti engine in my D, the 125ps version. It's nippy but could do with a little more poke! Check out my vids if you wanna see it :). It was in total vauxhall a few months back.
I have a Corsa C 1.4Twin Port. How much roughly would it cost for the same conversion? Sounds beautifull mate. Also can you tell me the garage that carried out the work? I'm no mechanic
you know that dat induction system is just slowing you down, due to the heatsoak as the c20let produces massive ammounts of heat in the engine bay. Your better off with a 2.2 airbox with a propper filter and a massive inlet pipe to it(besson pipe or veccy c)
You've got to start somewhere mate. This was my first ever car. I had 6 different engines and fitted them all myself. So, it may have been a Corsa but it was stupidly fast and taught me an awful lot about engines and motor mechanics along the way.
@Pogost1ck Yes mate. I had no experience at all until I did the first conversion. It started life as a lowly 1.4 16v which I tuned to about 120bhp with inlet, exhaust and ecu modifications. I then fitted a 1.6 16v engine which was basically a straight swap and luckily all the tuning goodies from 1.4 engine fitted with no problems. I then fitted another 1.6 as the first one had poor compression, plus I'd had a spare cylinder head modified and wanted to fit it to a bottom end with low mileage.
@Pogost1ck In the end I had about 135-140bhp from the 1.6 but still wanted more. So, after a couple of months of research I decided to bite the bullet and fit the legendary 2.0 16v C20XE engine. It took me about a month, working on it during the evenings and weekends, learning lots along the way and dealing with unforeseen problems as I went.
@Pogost1ck I always serviced my new engines before fitting them (new timing belt included) but this would be my undoing on this first proper conversion- I neglected to tighten the crank pulley bolt sufficiently. I found out the hard way after hitting 6800rpm in first gear and blowing the engine on it's first test run! I'd bent all 16 valves and had 4 perfect circles smashed into the top of each piston! Luckily I'd bought a spare engine and I had that fitted and running within 5 days!
@Pogost1ck I kept the C20XE engine for about 6 months then decided I wanted more power so bought the mighty C20LET engine that you see in this video. The conversion was very expensive and a lot more difficult than the swap from X16XE to C20XE but in all honesty, it was worth every penny and all the effort involved. It was obviously a nightmare in the wet and would spin through 1st, 2nd and 3rd even in the dry!
@Pogost1ck I'll tell you though, it was an awesome feeling when the tyres finally found grip and slingshotted you towards the horizon. If you ever get the chance to drive, or even just go in, a C20LET Corsa then you should jump at the chance. They're extremely good fun and I guarantee you'll get out of the car with a big smile on your face and legs like jelly...I know I did nearly every time I drove mine!
@nathgreen40 :( i want that engine!!! How much it cost??? i have corsa a 1.6 gsi and it is fast but not fast enough!! :))) my english is bad so.... :)
@pichwaiz90 It cost a lot to be honest mate. You won't see much change from £3000 if you want to do it properly and that's if you do it yourself like I did. Worth every penny though- 200+bhp in a car that weighs about 1000kgs will put a big smile on your face...and a big dent in your bank balance!
@nathgreen40 haha nice ur gonna be pissin off sum scoobys in tha! ne tips for corsa c transplants rly wanna drop a xe20LET innit but hav heard roumers the ecu is a bitch in c's
i dont like corsas with body kits :(. i prefer the old street sleepers like mine. the corsas round here r either all go no show or all show no go. i prefer the first choice :)
i just been reading some comments...its hilarious how you ripped some children to shreds ha!
car looks lovely mate...just out of interest, did you mod it all yourself? or did you get help off people? cos if you did it by yourself, you must know your stuff when it comes to cars an shit...i could maintain my engine and stuff, but replace the full lot...i think id just get baffled and give up and have half a car worth next to nothing haha!
and what do you think you spent on the car in total?
Dude, have you seen some of the Corsas out there? Mine was pretty subtle and smooth compared to some so I think "Seriously ugly" is a bit over the top!
@karlberrisford Its a good job I don't care for your opinion then isn't it pal! Now I'm a bit older I can see your point about the body kit, imagine how bad it'd look with a "combat" body kit though!! These days I'd go down the smoothed GSi route but I still think the Alfa Romeo pearlescent Nuvola blue is a lovely colour and the wheels could be much much worse!
@Opelmaster Und du nennst dich "Opelmaster" ? Was bist du denn für ein Vogel.. Ein LET Corsa ist genauso schön wie ein LET Cali! Du bist echt ein kleines Kind
@Fondorcry "Ein kleines Kind"? Wer ist hier das Kind? Was will man bitteschön mit einem LET in einem Corsa? Selbst ein C20XE wäre kaum noch zu kontrollieren, da ein Corsa überhaupt nicht auf diese Leistung ausgelegt ist. Viel zu kurzer Radstand, Frontantrieb und zu geringes Gewicht.
Ist dir schonmal aufgefallen, wie der sowieso schon geringe Bestand an Turbocalibras, immer weiter schwindet, weil so viele Spinner meinen, sie müssten unbedingt einen LET in ihre kleine Quetsche verpflanzen?
Ja nur dass die "kleine Quetsche" mit C20LET einen Cali mit gleichem Motor gnadenlos verheizt. Wenn du denkst ein Corsa mit Let ist nicht zu kontrollieren liegst du falsch. Vielleicht kannst du das nicht, mag sein aber andere können das sehr wohl! Ach und btw ein Cali hat genauso Frontantrieb wie ein Corsa auch.
@Fondorcry Ein normaler Calibra hat vielleicht i.d.R. Frontantrieb, ein Turbo hat Allrad du Schlaumeier! Vernünftig wird so ein Corsa niemals kontrollierbar sein. Einen Calibra kann man mit so einem Ding bestenfalls auf der Geraden verheizen aber durch den fehlenden Allradantrieb wird selbst das nicht ganz so einfach. Auf einer etwas anspruchsvolleren Strecke macht ein Corsa sowieso einen Abflug ins Grüne.
Du täuschst dich! Ein LET Corsa mit gutem Fahrwerk und ggf Sperrdiff (und natürlich die passenden Felgen) lässt sich von nem Cali garantiert nicht so leicht abhängen. Versteh mich nicht falsch, ich finde Calis sehr schöne Autos und hätte ich keinen Corsa in dem schon ne Menge Geld steckt, dann würd ich bestimmt n Cali fahrn. Aber dieses Schiff ist nunmal viel schwerer als en Corsa und das macht leider ne Menge aus. Jedenfalls ist n LET im Corsa keine Verschwendung.
@Fondorcry Das will ich erst sehen, dann glaub ich das auch. Abgesehen davon geht es mir eigentlich nur darum, dass es mich ankotzt, dass immer mehr sowieso schon sehr seltene Turbocalis geschlachtet werden nur weil so viele Knaller meinen, sie müssten unbedingt einen LET in ihrer 08/15 Karre haben, die obendrein garnicht auf diese Leistung ausgelegt ist. Von mir aus kannst du dir in den Corsa bauen, was du willst, solange du keinen seltenen Calibra dafür schlachtest.
Tja aber das muss ich wohl weil es den guten LET, der in meine "08/15 Karre" kommt, eben nur im Cali gibt. Aber das steht sowieso noch in den Sternen da ich den Umbau selbst vornehme und mich mit Turbos nicht unbedingt so gut auskenne. Ich tendiere sowieso mehr zum regulären C20XE aber auch den werde ich höchstwahrscheinlich aus nem Cali nehmen.
@Fondorcry Nein den gibt es auch im Vectra A, bloß dass die noch seltener sind. Ein C20XE wäre grade so noch verkraftbar. Aber auch nur dann, wenn das Spenderauto so faulig ist, dass man es sowieso nicht mehr retten könnte.
So ist es. Aber egal welcher von beiden Motoren in mein Corsa kommt, es ist mir total egal aus welchem Auto der ist. Ob es ein Astra F, ein Kadett, ein Vectra A oder ein Cali ist, es interessiert mich nicht auch wenn das Auto noch in top Zustand ist. Nebenbei muss ich mich verbessern, der Turbo Cali war tatsächlich IMMER Allrad, hattest Recht.
Na dich wohl auch nicht, wenn du einen B-Corsa als "kleine Quetsche", "08/15 Karre", und generell als schlecht betrachtest. Ich hab meinen Spaß mit dem Corsa nur mittlerweile brauch ich mehr Leistung und bleibe Opel damit auch treu. Also was ist falsch daran?
@Fondorcry Ein Corsa ist nunmal eine kleine Quetsche das hat diese Fahrzeugklasse so an sich. Eine 08/15 Karre ist es in Anbetracht der Produktionszahlen auch, genauso wie ein Vectra, Astra, Omega, usw. Das bedeutet nicht, dass ich der Meinung bin, dass es sich dabei um schlechte Autos handelt, ich sie hässlich fände oder ich irgendwas dagegen einzuwenden hätte. Sind alles schöne Auto aber eben Massenware, sprich 08/15...
@Opelmaster ...Deswegen kann es meiner Meinung nach nicht sein, dass man für so ein Ding ein seltenes Fahrzeug, wie z.B. einen echten Calibra Turbo, Astra GSI, oder Vectra 2000 schlachtet nur weil man meint, man müsste unbedingt einen dicken Motor in seiner Karre haben die nichtmal auf diese Leistung ausgelegt ist. Das Resultat sieht man ja: ein Großteil dieser Umbauten wird irgendwann zu Klump gefahren, sofern diese auch im Alltag bewegt werden und nicht nur zu Showzwecken dienen.
@Opelmaster Naja, aber Fondorcry darf doch schlachten , was er will? Mir ist vor gut 2 Jahren ein Turbo Cali in meinen Astra gefahren. Muss ich jetzt in die Kirche und beten? Komm schon, Opel sind und waren schon immer MASSENWARE von den Turbocalis gibts genug. Wenns noch 100 Stück oder so in D wären. Aber schau bei Wiki. Sind leicht noch 10t. Außerdem regiert Geld die Welt. Er kann den Motor auch aus einem Super Turbo Cali nehmen und man kann nix machen.
@xXMTA4Xx Über 10000? Ja so viele wurden mal gebaut. 2008 waren noch rund Eintausend in Deutschland zugelassen. Jetzt überleg mal wie die Zahl inzwischen weiter geschrumpft sein wird. Von Massenware kann man bei solch speziellen Modellen nicht mehr sprechen. Guck dich mal am Markt um. Es regt mich nunmal auf, dass solche Autos geschlachtet werden. Dass ich keinen definitiv daran hindern kann ist mir leider bewusst. Vllt. kann man ja mal jemanden aufwecken. Diese kurzsichtige Denkweise ewig...
Appreciate the comment pal. It's never going to be everyones cuppa tea but I enjoyed it at the time. Sadly this car no longer exists but I believe the engine now powers another Corsa.
the reason why he doesnt want to go and buy sumthing that looks nice is because when you get a NOOB in a really nice car and it gets ripped by a corsa like this one then YOUR gunna look abit fucking stupid
sweet engine matey. How much the engine set you back looking at putting one in mine, looking at spending about £3000 on engine, brakes, supsension etc. I know i could buy a newer car for that but im too in love with corsas lol.
the thing with buying engines is that u will prob never know the millage on it so u may as well uy one for £500 off pistonheads and go to scrappies for the brakes get em off a cavalier or something suspension u buy urself same with brake disks and all that stuff
i dont get all these people who say that your a chav because you modify a car the sound it makes comes from the performance air filter (induction kit) and the exhaust which is to be of bigger bore diameter to allow the safe exit of engine fumes and alllow for better performance plus if you dont like this video why comment
stop being a bunch of ignorant arseholes his car he can do what he wants to it your probably 14 acting the big shot on the internet come back when you have a driving liecense
hi, broder i have one question, which engine did you put?? because i have one with the stock engine. well... i have stabilizer bar, high-flow filter, 9.8mm spark plug wires but i want to put in a bigger engine. like yours (2.0) my engine it´s 1.6
u can put the c20let into any corsa but keep in mind for all that extra power you need to change most of the standard parts as existing partswont cut it brakes wont stop you you'll just keep going fan will not cool the engine sufficient radiator will not be big enough and so on apparently it can be done relitively easy if you know what you are doing and have the time/money/can be arsed doing it
not only that insurance is a problem for a conversion so i would just buy a car with a bigger engine
Yes it is. To be honest once I'd started tuning it the appearance of the car wasn't a major priority. I'd probably rather have spent the cash on gaining more power than fixing the bumper!
Wow you obviously haven't heard of slang, hmm that's strange because your a chav and that's all your race uses. Anyway at the end of the day im your average person and your a chav so i win. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Slang? No, I think you will find most normal people call it chav speak. I prefer to speak English, apparantly they don't teach that in schools these days?
I'm not a chav, very far from it infact. Furthermore I don't even own this car anymore but even when I did I certainly wasn't a chav. Hope that's all cleared up now. I really cannot be bothered to dedicate any more of my time trying to argue with some silly little boy with an IQ lower than my last fart.
Yes mate. You'll get it in your membership pack when you pay the membership fee. Or you may be able to just buy them from the website. I'm not an active member anymore so not too sure to be honest!
Awesome...a retarded, angry, nationalist Scotsman who doesn't have two brain cells to communicate with eachother....my favourite!!
Question, who is Al? He certainly hasn't set fire to this car because I stripped it and sold it for parts nearly a year ago!? I think you must be trying to say "I'LL set fire to your wee pishy kinder surprise car"?? Must be hard learning ENGLISH when you're a no-good, attention seeking, dumb-as-fuck scotsman! Go and have fun at the bottom of a loch.....job done!
Each to their own I say! I admit it was a bit nose heavy with that engine in but to say all Corsa's handle like shit is a bit silly isn't it mate!? I know they're not exactly Integra-like in their cornering abilities but with the right wheels, tyres, suspension and bracing I think they handle pretty well!
@Pspete1000 they handle well if you tune them right which with that lump in it you have to do otherwise the front end just fks off from u lol. I wanna do this. Jus wondering how fast it actually is. I had. A 1.6 sport lowered with all 4 strut braces handled like it was on rails where I pointed it it went scared me alot

Pogost1ck 1 year ago
@Pogost1ck Yes mate. I had no experience at all until I did the first conversion. It started life as a lowly 1.4 16v which I tuned to about 120bhp with inlet, exhaust and ecu modifications. I then fitted a 1.6 16v engine which was basically a straight swap and luckily all the tuning goodies from 1.4 engine fitted with no problems. I then fitted another 1.6 as the first one had poor compression, plus I'd had a spare cylinder head modified and wanted to fit it to a bottom end with low mileage.
nathgreen40 1 year ago
@Pogost1ck In the end I had about 135-140bhp from the 1.6 but still wanted more. So, after a couple of months of research I decided to bite the bullet and fit the legendary 2.0 16v C20XE engine. It took me about a month, working on it during the evenings and weekends, learning lots along the way and dealing with unforeseen problems as I went.
nathgreen40 1 year ago
@Pogost1ck I always serviced my new engines before fitting them (new timing belt included) but this would be my undoing on this first proper conversion- I neglected to tighten the crank pulley bolt sufficiently. I found out the hard way after hitting 6800rpm in first gear and blowing the engine on it's first test run! I'd bent all 16 valves and had 4 perfect circles smashed into the top of each piston! Luckily I'd bought a spare engine and I had that fitted and running within 5 days!

@Pogost1ck I kept the C20XE engine for about 6 months then decided I wanted more power so bought the mighty C20LET engine that you see in this video.

car looks lovely mate...just out of interest, did you mod it all yourself? or did you get help off people? cos if you did it by yourself, you must know your stuff when it comes to cars an shit...i could maintain my engine and stuff, but replace the full lot...i think id just get baffled and give up and have half a car worth next to nothing haha!
and what do you think you spent on the car in total?

Dude, have you seen some of the Corsas out there? Mine was pretty subtle and smooth compared to some so I think "Seriously ugly" is a bit over the top!

@nathgreen40
ok, ill be more specific. you have a CHAV bodykit, a TACKY paint job and GENERIC wheels.
the only bita i like are the brakes, engine, dash and silver sprayed panels inside.
karlberrisford 1 year ago
@karlberrisford Its a good job I don't care for your opinion then isn't it pal! Now I'm a bit older I can see your point about the body kit, imagine how bad it'd look with a "combat" body kit though!! These days I'd go down the smoothed GSi route but I still think the Alfa Romeo pearlescent Nuvola blue is a lovely colour and the wheels could be much much worse!

Und wieder wurde ein Calibra geopfert, um einen widerlichen Corsa unfahrbar zu machen...
Opelmaster 1 year ago
@Opelmaster Und du nennst dich "Opelmaster" ? Was bist du denn für ein Vogel.. Ein LET Corsa ist genauso schön wie ein LET Cali! Du bist echt ein kleines Kind
Fondorcry 1 year ago
@Fondorcry "Ein kleines Kind"? Wer ist hier das Kind? Was will man bitteschön mit einem LET in einem Corsa? Selbst ein C20XE wäre kaum noch zu kontrollieren, da ein Corsa überhaupt nicht auf diese Leistung ausgelegt ist. Viel zu kurzer Radstand, Frontantrieb und zu geringes Gewicht.
Ist dir schonmal aufgefallen, wie der sowieso schon geringe Bestand an Turbocalibras, immer weiter schwindet, weil so viele Spinner meinen, sie müssten unbedingt einen LET in ihre kleine Quetsche verpflanzen?
Opelmaster 1 year ago
@Opelmaster
Ja nur dass die "kleine Quetsche" mit C20LET einen Cali mit gleichem Motor gnadenlos verheizt. Wenn du denkst ein Corsa mit Let ist nicht zu kontrollieren liegst du falsch. Vielleicht kannst du das nicht, mag sein aber andere können das sehr wohl! Ach und btw ein Cali hat genauso Frontantrieb wie ein Corsa auch.
Fondorcry 1 year ago
@Fondorcry Ein normaler Calibra hat vielleicht i.d.R. Frontantrieb, ein Turbo hat Allrad du Schlaumeier! Vernünftig wird so ein Corsa niemals kontrollierbar sein. Einen Calibra kann man mit so einem Ding bestenfalls auf der Geraden verheizen aber durch den fehlenden Allradantrieb wird selbst das nicht ganz so einfach. Auf einer etwas anspruchsvolleren Strecke macht ein Corsa sowieso einen Abflug ins Grüne.
Opelmaster 1 year ago
@Opelmaster
Du täuschst dich! Ein LET Corsa mit gutem Fahrwerk und ggf Sperrdiff (und natürlich die passenden Felgen) lässt sich von nem Cali garantiert nicht so leicht abhängen. Versteh mich nicht falsch, ich finde Calis sehr schöne Autos und hätte ich keinen Corsa in dem schon ne Menge Geld steckt, dann würd ich bestimmt n Cali fahrn. Aber dieses Schiff ist nunmal viel schwerer als en Corsa und das macht leider ne Menge aus. Jedenfalls ist n LET im Corsa keine Verschwendung.
Fondorcry 1 year ago
@Fondorcry Das will ich erst sehen, dann glaub ich das auch. Abgesehen davon geht es mir eigentlich nur darum, dass es mich ankotzt, dass immer mehr sowieso schon sehr seltene Turbocalis geschlachtet werden nur weil so viele Knaller meinen, sie müssten unbedingt einen LET in ihrer 08/15 Karre haben, die obendrein garnicht auf diese Leistung ausgelegt ist. Von mir aus kannst du dir in den Corsa bauen, was du willst, solange du keinen seltenen Calibra dafür schlachtest.
Opelmaster 1 year ago
@Opelmaster
Tja aber das muss ich wohl weil es den guten LET, der in meine "08/15 Karre" kommt, eben nur im Cali gibt. Aber das steht sowieso noch in den Sternen da ich den Umbau selbst vornehme und mich mit Turbos nicht unbedingt so gut auskenne. Ich tendiere sowieso mehr zum regulären C20XE aber auch den werde ich höchstwahrscheinlich aus nem Cali nehmen.
Fondorcry 1 year ago
@Fondorcry Nein den gibt es auch im Vectra A, bloß dass die noch seltener sind. Ein C20XE wäre grade so noch verkraftbar. Aber auch nur dann, wenn das Spenderauto so faulig ist, dass man es sowieso nicht mehr retten könnte.
Opelmaster 1 year ago
@Opelmaster
So ist es. Aber egal welcher von beiden Motoren in mein Corsa kommt, es ist mir total egal aus welchem Auto der ist. Ob es ein Astra F, ein Kadett, ein Vectra A oder ein Cali ist, es interessiert mich nicht auch wenn das Auto noch in top Zustand ist. Nebenbei muss ich mich verbessern, der Turbo Cali war tatsächlich IMMER Allrad, hattest Recht.
Fondorcry 1 year ago
@Fondorcry Tolle Sichtweise, sehr "weitsichtig"! Als Opelliebhaber kann man dich wahrlich nicht bezeichnen.
Opelmaster 1 year ago
@Opelmaster
Na dich wohl auch nicht, wenn du einen B-Corsa als "kleine Quetsche", "08/15 Karre", und generell als schlecht betrachtest. Ich hab meinen Spaß mit dem Corsa nur mittlerweile brauch ich mehr Leistung und bleibe Opel damit auch treu. Also was ist falsch daran?
Fondorcry 1 year ago
@Fondorcry Ein Corsa ist nunmal eine kleine Quetsche das hat diese Fahrzeugklasse so an sich. Eine 08/15 Karre ist es in Anbetracht der Produktionszahlen auch, genauso wie ein Vectra, Astra, Omega, usw. Das bedeutet nicht, dass ich der Meinung bin, dass es sich dabei um schlechte Autos handelt, ich sie hässlich fände oder ich irgendwas dagegen einzuwenden hätte. Sind alles schöne Auto aber eben Massenware, sprich 08/15...
Opelmaster 1 year ago
@Opelmaster ...Deswegen kann es meiner Meinung nach nicht sein, dass man für so ein Ding ein seltenes Fahrzeug, wie z.B. einen echten Calibra Turbo, Astra GSI, oder Vectra 2000 schlachtet nur weil man meint, man müsste unbedingt einen dicken Motor in seiner Karre haben die nichtmal auf diese Leistung ausgelegt ist. Das Resultat sieht man ja: ein Großteil dieser Umbauten wird irgendwann zu Klump gefahren, sofern diese auch im Alltag bewegt werden und nicht nur zu Showzwecken dienen.
Opelmaster 1 year ago
@Opelmaster Naja, aber Fondorcry darf doch schlachten , was er will? Mir ist vor gut 2 Jahren ein Turbo Cali in meinen Astra gefahren. Muss ich jetzt in die Kirche und beten? Komm schon, Opel sind und waren schon immer MASSENWARE von den Turbocalis gibts genug. Wenns noch 100 Stück oder so in D wären. Aber schau bei Wiki. Sind leicht noch 10t. Außerdem regiert Geld die Welt. Er kann den Motor auch aus einem Super Turbo Cali nehmen und man kann nix machen.
xXMTA4Xx 1 year ago
@xXMTA4Xx Über 10000? Ja so viele wurden mal gebaut. 2008 waren noch rund Eintausend in Deutschland zugelassen. Jetzt überleg mal wie die Zahl inzwischen weiter geschrumpft sein wird. Von Massenware kann man bei solch speziellen Modellen nicht mehr sprechen. Guck dich mal am Markt um. Es regt mich nunmal auf, dass solche Autos geschlachtet werden. Dass ich keinen definitiv daran hindern kann ist mir leider bewusst. Vllt. kann man ja mal jemanden aufwecken. Diese kurzsichtige Denkweise ewig...

the thing with buying engines is that u will prob never know the millage on it so u may as well uy one for £500 off pistonheads and go to scrappies for the brakes get em off a cavalier or something suspension u buy urself same with brake disks and all that stuff

i dont get all these people who say that your a chav because you modify a car the sound it makes comes from the performance air filter (induction kit) and the exhaust which is to be of bigger bore diameter to allow the safe exit of engine fumes and alllow for better performance plus if you dont like this video why comment
stop being a bunch of ignorant arseholes his car he can do what he wants to it your probably 14 acting the big shot on the internet come back when you have a driving liecense

hi, broder i have one question, which engine did you put?? because i have one with the stock engine. well... i have stabilizer bar, high-flow filter, 9.8mm spark plug wires but i want to put in a bigger engine. like yours (2.0) my engine it´s 1.6
thanks i will wait for the answer.
cchhe 2 years ago
u can put the c20let into any corsa but keep in mind for all that extra power you need to change most of the standard parts as existing partswont cut it brakes wont stop you you'll just keep going fan will not cool the engine sufficient radiator will not be big enough and so on apparently it can be done relitively easy if you know what you are doing and have the time/money/can be arsed doing it
not only that insurance is a problem for a conversion so i would just buy a car with a bigger engine

1. Learn to speak proper English.
2. Stop using profanities, it's not big or clever and will not increase the size of your pre-pubescent penis.
3. Your insurance will be sky high but that has nothing to do with me- I've never made a claim or been prosecuted for any driving related offence.
4. Leave and don't say a word because if you do I will verbally tear you to pieces and it will probably be quite embarrassing!
5. Thanks for nothing and GOODBYE!

Wow you obviously haven't heard of slang, hmm that's strange because your a chav and that's all your race uses. Anyway at the end of the day im your average person and your a chav so i win. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Slang? No, I think you will find most normal people call it chav speak. I prefer to speak English, apparantly they don't teach that in schools these days?
I'm not a chav, very far from it infact. Furthermore I don't even own this car anymore but even when I did I certainly wasn't a chav. Hope that's all cleared up now. I really cannot be bothered to dedicate any more of my time trying to argue with some silly little boy with an IQ lower than my last fart.
