mainly because of the inlet setup (black plastic throttle housing)

his was a single port injection so it fitted his, im not an idiot and that strut brace is the next one im going to get i just dont want to buy that one and have to still cut away at the strut mounts abit, thats the only reason for the questions

Quoted again for you to understand

Sell any other strut braces you have, the one that kurt has shown you is the only one that you can buy that will fit.

his was single port injection and the ad says it fits the 1.4 spi and the 1.2 spi i already have a 8v one but im sending that back to expire, then im going to buy that one

what differance does it make if its a 16v corsa or an 8v? my old corsa was an sri 8v, i had a e-tech one on that and when i put my redtop in the same brace fitted then and on my 1.4 16v sport again the same brace fitted then and now on the v6 its still fits so there can't be any difference between a 8v and 16v corsa for the strut braces to fit. your yellow one does look like a nova one though. ill sell you mine in you want it, they don't do anything anyway

inlets are different on single point injection engines as they have a huge throttle body housing that sits right where the bar would run from strut to strut

Just buy the bloody thing.

Or don't bother, they don't so much on the road, especially with a beastly 45 bhp under that bonnet of yours.

What? Are you saying because you always have somebody else in the car, you need a strut brace?

Is there logic in that statement at all? If so, care to explain where?

your saying my shitty light corsa wont have any chassis flex, id guess that with 3 people in a car there would be more chassis flex than with one? sorry if im wrong, thats not the reason i want one, the reason was because i was told they are good and stop chassis flex
