Spoke to Flux this morning and they said i could insure a 1.4 16v corsa b for an extra £9 a month so i might buy a X14XE and give it a good going over and install that. My question is.
What bits would i need. im led to beleive i need engine(obviously)|, gearbox?, loom, shafts?
Would the engine mounts for a 1.2 8v be ok?
what are they like mod wise? easy to toy with?

It would be easier to just buy a clean 1.4/1.6 sport.
To answer the question though -
ECU, Loom, Keychips & Transponder
Engine, Box, Shafts, Brakes.
Mounts i cant comment on as i dont know what 1.2 8v ones look like.

If you want to do a project its hardly worth converting a 1.2 to a 1.4.

Yeah and someone who has been on the receiving end of a £100k claim, yes me, will tell you it is a fucking stupid idea.
I was all declared.
P.S. As above, either don't bother or buy a mint 1.4.

How much more would it be for a 1600 because that would be the better engine to mod, but if you mod the 1400 get a 4 branch cat back performance inlet, set of fast road cams + verniers have it all set up properly with a map, and you'll be a lot happier with it compaired to your 1.2

Did they say you could insure a 1.4 Corsa for £9 extra or your car with a new engine for £9 extra? They are not the same thing.
Don't quote me on this, but I think the mounts are quite different between 8v and 16v's. Davey LC posted some pics up once of the two bays but I can't remember what threads they were in.

its an extra £9 for an X14XE, watch that £9 turn into £00`s when you start to add the mods
and yeah the 8v mounts are different, you have the most arkward car to do the conversion on too, be better converting a 12v than your 8v
