doesn't mean its boring just because loads of people have it! its still the same, and to the person it doesn't matter because they're the one who drives it every day.

they are getting a bit common now

i disagree with xe'd corsa's bein common no more common than ppl doin swops on peugeot/saxo sites, ur just being fooled by coming on here and seeing them, ppl on here run the length of the country, i only no of 1 close to me thats joffs and in 1 yr ive never ran into him while out so 
anyways good work mark nice to see, and id like to come out with u and see straight line speed once and for all dude, as jr said it'd be far superior to xe yeh maybe but ud need to be running high 13's low 14's ova 1/4 to be far superior, its 8500k limit that i like

fuckin hell, cant i havean opinion without getting sarcastic comments back anymore?
all i was saying was
they are getting more common, i didnt say that was a bad thing, although IMO its not the way to do it, but everyone is entitled to do what they want, i like my car stripped, some dont, i like the idea of having an engine which doesnt piss oil out everywhere, some dont, i dont like the idea of a big heavy block and 17 year old technology in a car i use every day, some people do
OK?

yeah, but the technology is more advanced, and all the inherent c20 problems like random oil leaks and silly porous heads have been sorted out on the C16/X14/X16 engines
and they weigh less and were intended for the car in the first place

Thats no problem Rob, maybe you should voice your full opinion in the first reply instead of telling us one part and then later on in the thread explain the rest 
Justify your opinion, thats all. Which you have done.

Surely a C16/X14/X16 would piss out oil if it had been round the same duration as said 20XE thats pissing out oil? 
Porous heads on the other hand... 
And yeah putting the 20xe into the Corsa is abit like making a pigeon and a rat have babies.

rob dont get me wrong im not saying what ive done is good what uve done is crap, i wish i had x16xe on tb's in fact i will soon as mrs is goin down this route with hers, seriously come drive my xe and ull notice BIG block feels no different
newer technology is mre expensive to fix because its all electronic, get coscast head like i did and porouse problem is gone, and my xe dont leak no oil i think ppl exagerate, lets see how much 1.4/1.6 leak after so called 17 yrs lol
