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.
