So do you have cable driven clocks then?
ABS?
You can use the gearbox no problem mate, you can either run the speedo off your abs somehow if youve got it, or you can buy a transducer which plugs into sender on gearbox then you join the wires to the wires coming from clocks. You will need to source elec clocks though....

Yeh mate get yourself some elec clocks, im not 100% on whats needed to swap though but I know it can be done quite easily.
Also check this thread out -

You will have to source one of the parts from an astra gte i believe, so its a scrappy job or check for sale stuff on various fourms, the other part you can get from vaux there is a part number in the piks.

As far as I know you'd need the clocks from your calibra to make it work. But from what I do know is that I've not heard of an eletric box being used with a corsa. My mate has shit loads from converions he has done to a corsa but had to source a mechanical box for them all.

Eletric F28's, he says they are useless to any projects he does apart for his own cavy turbo.
