When I have got all the bits off mine you can have it for cheap if you want. Only going to scrap the shell otherwise

  Need to start ready up again to get her ready for track!  
 
Just looking at a couple of bits for it, would you recommend the z18xe 4-1 manifold? and poly bush on the front? 
 
Also i think the pickup in the gearbox has gone as it wont give a speed readying and iv changed the plug and the bit you screw in already? steerings really light and annoying ! Also would you advise to blank the egr?

Sorry to bump up an old topic but it's a question regarding the fuel system, can the fuel lines/pump etc be swap over from the vectra to the corsa to save messing around with the fuel pressure regulator?

I think they can bud but im not 100% but would think it be easier to use the regulator!? 
 
im hoping after new year to buy a pre-converted corsa B with either the X18XE1 or Z18XE and have a fully fledged track car!
