Hey all,
I joined a while back but havent really posted!

Anyway back to topic, I have 1996 1.2 corsa for a little over a year now, and I've been toying with the idea of selling her for a 1.5 vtec civic. However I've come to my senses and i've decided to stay faithful to vauxhall and give my wee 1.2 a new engine! I'm thinking of sourcing a 1.6 gsi corsa engine and dropping it in! I really havent got much knowlege about engines etc so I'm wondering what exactly i'll need for the swap apart from the obvious engine,ecu and wiring looms? Will I need to change the gearbox etc? Or add power steering? Any help is really appreciated!
