Anything else I should know? Thanks I do plan to do it today but depends if I pussy out due to the cold lol. |

Will do, it'll have to wait until next weekend now, iv just swapped headlights round on the corsa coz its got its MOT tomorrow and the angel headlights where aiming pretty high and had a bulb out. Also why im waiting until next week is because I dont start it and have no jump leads so hopefully get a battery this week. While I was outside I had one of my neighbours offer me an engine hoist to borrow so that could be useful in the future. |

Yeah but I was thinkin 2.0 then some fast road cams, Wont a 2.0 have more torque than a 130 spec 1.8 |

Yeah it'll have more torque. The 130 spec 1.8's aint that bad to be fair, quite good at the top end of the rev range from what I have heard |
