What I meant was, what specific parts,
I know the engine & box, but what driveshafts, from a 1.6 gsi? what car should the brakes be off, what hoses? etc, cheers
Also prob need some bigger engine mounts, where do I get them? etc
And the extra loom, what do I get that from

Not meaning to sound horrible but you need to do a lot of research if you want to do this conversion. Doesent sound to me you know alot about vauxhalls if you dont know where the brakes and mounts and stuff comes from. Who will be doing the work?

There is many guides out on the internet freely available. if you want U2U me your email and I will send you them. Its hard work for someone who has never or hardly touched the mechanics for cars but is easy when you have done it once or know exactly what you need to do.
Most get 2.0 brake discs from like a Astra GTE or cav 2.0
SUspension - most important yet neglected subject. Get it done properly and its vital to spend a decent amount on a good setup. the loom is the same from the donor car/engine, you just have to connect the wires up properly and to whatever he guides insist for instance green for rev counter so it's a colour for colour situation but some wires aren't and a bit of headache is involved trying to figure out what is what.
The mounts can be bought from griffin motorsport and many people sell them all the time depending on which "type" your shell is. either a 1 or a 2.
And shafts, there is a few ways of setting these up depending on which model you have but most people buy conversion hubs and conversion shafts or equal length ones etc.
Not to mention the exhaust setup where you either have to custom make one or buy one that has already been converted to fit the floor pan of the corsa.
If you don't know much then I suggest really look into it and explore each component and figure out/plan ahead/read up on common problems before you decide to do it and it will prove costly once started.
