knowing how to put it all in is one thing tho. having to take the engine out just to swap plugs is another story. i think that's one of the issues the astraG boys face when they drop the vectra V6 in, lol. if u get wat i'm saying

Dunno much about Barina's or that partic. V6, but generally a V6 would make them small cars a lead arrow tip, good for strip not handling ..
Spose that's ok if the owner just wanted big power to weight ..
