oil filler tube for one thing.
there are two versions of US model DV parts..
82 four speed trans type..
and later 83 5 speed trans type.
the 83 type are 'better' ..
some vendors sell a euro setup that's slightly a mixture of both., and is
just fine. The bigger 83 type rubber mounts are better for sure.

generally, you shouldn't use the stock 1.6 NA oil pump, or even the pick-up
tube as it contains the oil pressure relief valve. You can buy a new oil
pump with longer gears in it, and the right aluminum oil pump pick up tube
with a matching and new oil pressure relief valve in it.

oh ..AND THE ENGINE-TO-TRANS BOLTS !
it's a law that those have to be thrown away.
I have never seen a 'kit' sold with these nuts and bolts unless it was sold
by me.
lots of used parts I see are pretty 'hack.'

$ 500ish is one price I have seen.
