Lads and ladies i have a question that needs answering a bit sharpish as theres an opertunity i cant pass up....... I have a 1.2 8v 1993 I'm pretty sure its theC12SZ engine the single point injection it has a 4-1 exhaust manifold on it, now i know in Total Vauxhall mag it says u can fit a 4-2-1 manifold off a late Nova GSi but would a 4-2-1 manifold off a 1.4 16v Corsa Sport do the same job? its at my local scrapyrad its all mint and the sensor is well in tact i just wana know will it do the job??
Cheers
