Im thinking about buying my 3rd corsa and may well me putting a redtop in it at a later date.
Is it easier to put a redtop in a 12volt corsa than say a 1.4 16v? And i assume that diesels are alot more difficult to convert? Would it matter if it was a 5 door? I wouldnt be fussed about PAS, ABS, Air-con, etc.

Right, schooling time! Do anti roll bars prevent body roll?

12v/1.2 16v is slightly harder to do. Best to start from a 1.4 16v, or 8v MPI. 5 door is the same as 3 door engine bay wise.

Yes. I took mine off the other week and went round the block, it's surprising how much difference they make.

12v are no harder that 16v done both only difference is where the standard ecu is also some 12v's you got the electric power steering which mine did made life alot easier than no power steering at all
