	Lee Mitchell will only be to happy to get rid of the masses of Corsa driveshafts he has in his garage from when people fail to take them away after conversions :D I think he still has the Corsa shafts from my conversion out of the X16XE

I stand corrected then :thumbs: F10 4spd was found only in Corsa Merits, and was taken straight from the Nova, the 5spd is essentially the same gearbox with 5th as an overdrive gear to help the engine at high speed cruising.

	F10 is'nt that 4 speed? There are two types of F13's the F13 and the F13CR which has closer ratios.
Stu_22	posted on 13th Jun 05 at 14:58
	you sure you got an F10 as I had an F13 with my 1.2
Ojc	posted on 13th Jun 05 at 14:56
	My car tops out at 119mph with the F13, it really struggles to go over 110mph
Cybermonkey	posted on 13th Jun 05 at 14:06
	Siberia, there is hardly any difference between the F13CR and F15 anyway, except slight changes to 2nd and 3rd and a different final drive

	cheers joff. Also, the F10 would be completely crap, 5th is far too long to be of any use.

	To save time and effort just use your current shafts, I'm running 1.4 SR shafts on my X16XE and they are fine.
J100RSA	posted on 12th Jun 05 at 22:56
	use nova gte down pipe its a twin pipe ul need to mod the nove harness quite alot unless u get a late 91 gsi engine with the later injection then u can use a corsa 1.4sri loom and nova gsi ecu id use an f15 box as its stronger youll want corsa gsi/ 1.6sport drive shafts as these are a bit bigger but surely would be far far better putting it on twin 40's
MJ	posted on 12th Jun 05 at 22:46
	OJC thats a great help cheers mate only works out to be a £110 more on insurance for the conversion. Will Corsa GSI brakes that i have atm be powerfully enough
Joff	posted on 12th Jun 05 at 22:41
	I don't understand why you fitted an X16 to a Nova.
Ojc	posted on 12th Jun 05 at 22:39
	You can use your current gearbox but is'nt a 1.2 8v an F10? If so use the Nova gearbox and put your driveshafts in. Nova shafts are slightly shorter. Corsa SRi downpipe indeed mated to Nova GSi manifold and Corsa system. Corsa S-type rad hose and everything else you have mentioned, I don't understand why more people don't do this conversion as its easy, cheaper.

	Im looking at putting a 1.6 8v nova engine into my 1.2 corsa and need advice. How simple is this and also what are the problems people find when doing this conversion? Are these all the parts need for a successful conversion. - Nova GSi/GTE engine - Nova ECU and Loom - Corsa or Nova gearbox - Corsa driveshafts (would ones atm be ok?) - Corsa MPI fuel pump - Corsa 1.4 8V SRI down pipe - Water hoses Any more parts need would be greatful? Also steps would be good? Any help would be great, Cheers Mark :thumbs: P.S Anyone selling a nova GSI/GTE
