    hubs and drive shafts are different, pretty sure the driveshafts will be wider as corsa's have a wider track mate

    But if I use the whole Corsa running gear the driveshafts and hubs would fit woudn't they?

    The track would be too wide if you used steering arms, shafts and knuckles...sticky out wheels that catch the arch on the front isn't a good look You can use any Nova shafts other than 1.0l IIRC

    Everything will bolt in, except the driveshafts they are longer I think?

    You can use the hubs and brakes but you need to use Nova shafts

    Just a general quick question

    For the perm and switched live is it okay just using male spade connectors plugged into the accessory power sockets on the right hand side of the fuse box as I don't have central locking or electric windows?

    No reason why not provided you're using the right guage of wire for the fuse rating.

    What throttle cable are people using?

    I've tried loads I've got (Nova/Tigra/Corsa/Calibra) and they're all too long!
