Turst me Im not going to go anywhere near driving it myself for a while, I know I would kill myself.
The C16XE is still going in the Green One, so thats more than enough power for me at the moment.
C20LET is staying for good, its actually a very clean shell for its year, very well looked after.
de chav it and it will be mint! But please dont say you will kill your self if your drove it. If you have any skill and brains at all, you will take i very easy, gaining experience then you will be sound as a pound!

At my age I don't have much driving experience, so the C16XE going in mine should be a big enough step up from the 1.0 for a while.
I will be driving the c20let from time to time, theres a race course my Dad used to race at over in Newquay, so I can legally drive on that, but yes will definitly be taking it very easy.
Have alot of plans for it which I will be putting in a project thread to keep you all updated.
Have been out in it a couple of times today but its tucked away for now

Green thing, how old are you?
Its just a car, dont be scared of it just respect it and take it easy. Youll learn soon enough. I had my LET at 21. Never crashed that 
Dont waste your time putting an engine that came in corsas into a corsa. Just buy a ready made one with far less issues than you will have.

Yep 18, trust me I have so much respect for the car and respect for the previous owner, I don't want it to be one of those stories of when someone sells there pride and joy and then it dissapears after being thrashed and killed.
Im going over plans and idea's as we speak so will keep everyone updated in a project thread.

I think you're being sensible. I wouldn't like to go from 12v to C20LET, no matter how much experience I have.
Got plenty of time to drive faster cars, don't have to do it all at once.

Best way about it to be honest, I just want to put my mark on the car, make it look how I want it etc. so It would be ready for me in a few years time.

Diriving a quick car at 18 is ok if you show it some respect and dont drive like a cunt.
I had an XE nova at 18 and didnt stack that, when all my other mates had 1.0 metros etc...

I had my Corsa at 19 with the XE.
Edit... Just noticed what I said takes the thread off subject. I'm very very jealous that you hav bought that.  Fancy an engine swap
