forgot about the MPI fuel pump

the shafts will be fine, if you are keeping the gearbox you already have, and as i dont have a spare, you'll have to really, but that will be fine

header tank is about 11 quid from vaux, and you dont NEED the radiator, yours should work ok

never heard of anyone changing the master cylinder for the brakes, but i might be wrong...

i will need:-

engine (inc all sensors)
loom
ecu
transponder (from round lock barrell)
chip (from key)
engine mounts from a 16v
downpipe
manifold
header tank
water pipes


please let me know if there's anything i need as id rather have everything at once instead of having to wait for extra parts.. im picking the engine up in about 2 weeks

i would suggest changing the fuel pump, your 1.2 8v will have been spi (single point injection) the 1.4 16v is mpi (mutli point injection) these pumps ARE different, yes the 1.4 will run on the spi as mine was it was only when i dropped my 2 litre in i noticed something wasnt right it was holding back quite a bit, change to a mpi pump and been fine ever since.
