I would like councils.
I can take a nova 1.0 or 1.2i?

lol, shouldnt u be moddin a clio or saxo bein ur french...
tank doesnt need to be cahaged but pump needes to be uprated to a 1.4sri or anything higher i.e gsi...
and u can use any nova u want other than a diesel which has wierd engine mounts, go on valvers.com or .co.uk not sure

in germany you have to take your car to mr T?v (mot) after every modifcation you make, and alloy have to be documented for being the right ones for that car, ie made specially.

things like different wiper blades etc ahve to be declared lol


ive seen a document for a guys golf that has no engine mods, but is lowerd, wide arch etc blah blah

the thing is like a page long. bunch of tossers lol

as Phil said ....yes you do need to change the tank. there is a swirlpot inside a gte/gsi tank and if you don't use one of these tanks you should fit a swirlpot in the engine bay to stop the engine dying while going around corners.
