Hi

I was a vaux/opel fan and now on look out for new car and 9n3 is in my bracket as its only a A-B car +fun as wife hates any car I own as shefinds them to quick.
Just want some questions answered before I really get my nose to the floor and start looking at 9N3's

1.8 20v T are heads interchangable ie from BAM to BNJ? are forged rods and uprated valve-train interchangeable between all 1.8 20vt vags
What gearbox is needed for 6 spd converson?

Will the brembo calipersfrom cupra or audi fit without having to run 18's? (I like handling)
Do peaple still use the turbo commonly found on GC8 Subaru's on the 20vT as an upgrade or IHI chocolate turbo?

What size forged conrods and do you keep stock pistons.
Im a static fan whats the better suspension for fast road setup that wont demolish themselves like JOMS (had them on my astra coupe Pile of squishy brown stuff)
What chassis upgrades ie whiteline and oe components from other vag fit?

IMPORTANT WHO IS Shabar AND HOW DID HE MAKE HIS PROJECTOR LIGHTS?

suspension i'd buy bilsteins all depends on your budget really tho ap's are great for the price if you can go all out tho id get kw's! im running blisteins now and ive had fks,ta's etc and you cant compare them, performance and quality on them is great the rear shocks are upside down which works a lot better and the thickness of the shocks is thicker

Thank you. I was looking at Bilsteins or Komi dampers with h&r or eibach springs. Was a decent set up on the Vaux coupe turbo. Whiteline rarb and poly bushes.

So anyone any clue on the engine side of life
