1) do i need to change the gearbox to go from a 1.2 8v to a 1.6 16v?
2) fuel pump has to be changed?
3) can the standard airbox be used (temporarily)?
4)apart from the above... engine and ecu are the only things needed right?
5) is it better to get the wireing re-done?
6) would a 1994 1.2 8v (swing) have that green rev counter wire?
7) is it better to change the rear brakes to disks?
(sorry so many questions this early in the morning but i just came from night shift and was talking with a guy about it and seemed like a good idea)
