would a corsa 1.2 8v 5 speed box fit onto my nova 1.2 8v merit
and
does the exhaust manifold have to be changed on my nova as im getting a straight through stainless steel system off my m8 which is for a corsa b and i dont know if i will be able to fit it as the manifold on mine i dont think it has the conection like the flange onit like the corsa b its off

the gearbox: yes

the exhaust: it would mount on the engine, but the system won't fit a nova.

most likely no. the corsa one will have a lambda probe thing & the nova probably won't

a nova 1.2 has a 4 into 1 exhaust as std. so if you are handy weith the tools, you might make it fit... but i don't think it will be that easy to do.

You are asking me if a corsa b exhaust will fit a nova & I am telling you that it won't, unless you are going to modify it, ie: grinder, welder etc....... and it will simply be too much work so you may as well get one for a nova........... there is no point getting a performance one for a 1.2 cos it has too little power. but if you want to get some noise, get a backbox for it... 1.6 gte/gsi type ones will fit a std 1.2 exhaust.

its going to have a 1.4 16v corsa sport or 1.6 16v gsi/sport engine init

and it will still need a nova exhaust with a modified corsa downpipe.

please understand this, the corsa b is not the same as a nova.

because the springs, dampers, hubs etc are all the same (well ok ild differences but nothing that stops stuff bieng swapped). But the underside of the car isnt the same meaning the exhaust system wont mate to the manifold from a corsa.

it 'could' contain gravy though

if it did, it would pour out of the open rear door, thus you can deduce it does not

stu, the gravy would have needed to be watery to actually pour it in there in the first place...... so second deduction.... NO GRAVY

Could be granules.

Could be granules.

then it would contain granules, & not gravy, which is a liquid!

please stop being impertinent. the bus has no gravy.

It could have been in the freezer lol Kerry Katona could be on it leaving Iceland :tumble:

sod, i'd not factored kerry katona in my calculations..

but the bus would need to be considerably larger to fit her in it.... (she has her clothes size labels done by the bloke who does gordon browns inflation ones)

Southie
30-09-09, 11:23 PM
Didn't say she'd fit in it. She just sticks the bus up her left nostril. lol

mowgli
30-09-09, 11:39 PM

Stuart

more than likely to have snot on the outside, some might get in but not as mush as is outside.
