    You can use your nova shafts and your nova mounts and nova hubs.
    But yeah the nova shafts will go into the Corsa hubs

    You can use the legs
    You can use the hubs and brakes
    You'll need the nova shafts
    You'll need the nova mounts, unsure if the rear gearbox mount is the same tho

    It is the easiest way by getting a full car, so you know the engine runs and everythings there, you can also get the transponder loom out of the donor car too.

    The best way of telling usually is by the head, just under the rocker cover there will be 5 dimples that stand out, if all are even then they usually are C16xe's... If they're of different lengths then there usually a X16xe or X16xel
