I reckon Marv cud prob get away without PAS as well, just by leaving the pump etc out, like the 2.0 boys do. | |

yesh, vauxhall wanted £2k to fit it to my sport. You are better off leaving well out. The ABS controller is a bronze box on the left side of the engine bay with about 20 green pipe coming off it. It looks fucking complex. | |

no marv, you need a low mileage X16XE with PAS not ABS. PAS came as standard on all X16XE fitted corsas, and you might as well fit the PAS pump and rack while you are putting tyhe engine in. ABS is a frickin nightmare job to install. Gearbox mounts will probably be the same, but engine mounts may be in a different place as the original engine was 8v. | |

AFAIK all GSi's were PAS, makes it easier for little old ladies to turn those chunky wheels when parking in Tescos. You would be hard pushed finding a good condition C16 these days, better going for the X16 with low mileage. | |

Oh really? Never knew that! Thought that some early GSi's were non PAS, but maybe not! | |

C16XE fitted GSis came with power steering and ABS as standard. Sport 1.6's came with ABS as optional extra and PAS as standard. ABS will be a pain in the ass to install, so look for a low mileage X16XE. | |

In that case, it'd probably make more sense to go for a C16XE , with no ABS, PAS or anything fancy, just to make the conversion that bit simpler. | |

Im not sure if it matters but the fuel pumps after 1997 changed. I think they were both still internal type pumps though. Also, the washer bottle on the C12NZ is at the back of the engine, but on the Sport models its located on the passenger side wing. Will you be fittinf ABS? if so, then a new washer bottle from an ABS fitted Corsa is needed, as the moulding is a different shape. | |

Radiator is a larger size in the 1.4/1.6 16v models. Will end up overheating with a C12NZ radiator. | |
