engine (has to be same style as your car i.e. early/late style clocks)
gearbox
brake setup (advised but not essential)
engine loom (interior loom is also advised but not essential)
fuel pump (16v obviously needs more fuel so pump needs to be bigger :P)
16v clocks (not essential as the only difference is the 16v goes up another 10 or 20mph on the speedo and the red line starts a bit later)

If ya need any info gimme a shout on msn [email protected]! :D
