Shortly you're going to need slapping around, given all this talk of Vauxhall and French clutter.

This is going to require a digger for it to have any real impact.

I say go for it. One of the things I loved about the mini scene was the engine conversions from other brands and it's something more dubbers should try. I love the scoob powered MKI GTI.

I don't think a semi will give the same results

I take it your referring to the Z20LET?
If so its becoming a common engine to drop into corsa's
Pretty tuneable and with a stage 1 remap your looking at 260bhp! Then you can upgrade with the VXR turbo etc...
Fairly reliable and fuel efficient!!

Easier to fit maybe but Z20let is leagues ahead of a C20 which are getting long in the tooth now.
