The 1.8 is £100 more to insure than my Saab.. it's insane.. Also looking at 206's now, the 1.4hdi will save me quite a bit. Even that is only £50 cheaper to insure though. But tax is only £30 and they do 60+ to a gallon.. I need to tighten the belt for a bit. Although I've just seen a lovely...

This is my worry with a derv tbh.. I know a couple that have been proper messed up by too many short trips.. I think the missus wants me to get a Corsa so she has a home for the 2.2 when the Vectra rots. Couldn't afford to insure a modded car at the moment.. quotes for a 1.4 Corsa are coming...

Looking to get a Corsa C in the next couple of weeks.. Narrowed it down to an SRi and 3 engine choices.. 1.2 1.4 1.7 derv.. It's mainly for short trips... shopping, kids clubs, occasional 20 miles to bigger towns and family and, a couple of times a year, 250miles to N.Wales.. So many...

This is insane!! Wish I had a fraction of your skills dude... Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Which may still need the chains doing. Find someone private to do them if the engine is in otherwise good order. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

We both really like the Z22 (I have a b205 in my Saab, I could give that to her) I think she'd be happiest with one of those... I'd go Z20NET or b207 I think... Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Might buy the missus one for Christmas... she'd love it... Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Seeing a fair amount of out of the car engine building going on lately.. Getting a bit jealous, might have to get a stand and an engine to play with. Nice to see mate... didn't know about the pcv valves in these, ours is probably the original one from the factory. Sent from my Nexus 6P using...

Looks a lot like the one I bought... as long as it's the right size pipe to fit the airbox inlet then jobs a goodun I reckon. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Go on eBay and search cold air feed, got mine off there (and it's still in the shed waiting for me to fit it) Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Excellent... mad skills and epic project chap.. :)

How far from completion (of this stage) Carl?? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

And it looks SO much nicer too...

Make sure plugs are right.. fluids and filters are fresh... Coming up for that time when chains might be a concern too?? Would the oil jet thingy still be the duff one in an 02?? After all the above (everyone's suggestions - although I have been told the 2.4 inlet manifold isn't worth it) then...

I have a throttle body in the shed waiting for me to port/polish... but I'm too scared of effing it up.

Just a panel is fine... Think k&n only do 1 to fit this airbox...

Nothing simple (or cheap) that you do will get you much in the way of more power.. Getting rid of the precat might be slightly noticeable, throttle body port/polish should get rid of the 'step' in power delivery at about 3.5k rpm (iirc). Best thing we did was fit a k&n panel filter.. one of the...

All I see is an Astra... not a vx220...

Is there any advantage/disadvantage to this over a full blank, remove and cheat?

Love this.... Kirsty still wants a 2.2 Corsa after seeing this (and I'm about to put my Saab wagon up for swap, see if anyone with a Corsa C wants it)..
