Right, i now have my corsa to start work on. I have someone offering to do the engine swap (GSi into 1.2 corsa) but he thinks the ECUs might not match and therefore not work....can he not just use the electrics from my GSi or is it not as simple as that?
Also, how complex is a powersteering conversion???

Cheers

Tom

just use the ecu and wiring from the gsi theres no other way of doing it. if you have powersteering on the gsi then its pretty easy to do just need to use the gsi rack

Right, couple more questions. How easy is the boot to remove? Is it two bolts each side under the roof lining?
Also, i am right in thinking that these no real difference between an Nreg corsa and an Rreg?
