what ever comes with it mate, all i know is i've got everything for it and i know the bloke who had in his mk2 astra and it was rapid. its costing me £400 and he told me i will need 2 new solenids for the nos and the carb's jetted just to be sure it's all up to standard, and i've got to run a facet low preasure elec fuel pump
 
i picked up some ph1 elec wing mirrors, complete door loom and the tweeter covers off of mellow yellow yesterday (cheers mate) so this is whats going to be keeping me busy untill next week when the engine arrives, i've also got a rieger grill on its way cos i loved my 1 on my last car. picks will follow when work starts
