Thanx a lot guys.It is like proff said,if you put enough time,research and effort into something nothing is stopping you from reaching your goals.So now people will see that Opel has two great 2.0 motors,not just the all mighty XE.

I respect all Opel engines, whether its 2.0 8v, 2.0 16v (Eco or XE) and even the lower CC'd engines! My gripe has always been that the Ecotec was never respected without being given a fair trial! I hope that the power equates into good times so the "little brother" syndrome can be laid to rest! Nog Opel!
