View Full Version : K95VHD Work in progress-56k need not apply!
I went to sunny Kent on Monday to collect my new purchase.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/20ba6edb.jpg
Set off at 5am, Mikey collecting me in his Vectraand then had a pretty uneventful trip. M62/M1/M25, Dartford crossing, and Bens house. Sounds easy but a little tiring!
Bit of a delay at Ben's house while he gives me the (hundredweight!) of receipts and bills for wheels, brakes, exhaust, alarm, tyres, respray, re-respray, re-re-respray (:D) and practically every part ever purchased! All old MOT's, corroborating mileage, every tax disc and MORE receipts!!
I phoned my insurers to confirm mileage (it's a reduced mileage policy!) and set off back towards the motorway.
We went under the dartford tunnel and hit the M25 and an hours worth of traffic jam!!! No matter, joined the M1 and hit the first trauma of the journey!
Mikey's weak bladder and growling stomach! We pulled over at services for an offal burger, laughing at the noise the green missile makes!
Refuelled, we got back on the M1 and 180 miles from home, DISASTER!!!!!
As I sat in the outside lane, at about 80mph, the heavens opened and a sudden shower appeared from nowhere! I flicked on the wipers and.......
F U C K! They didn't work!!!!
Slowed down to 50-60mph, sat behind mikeys vectra for 8-10 miles to the next services, contemplating the long trip home on the back of the AA flatbed.....
I checked the fuses, relay was clicking and the horn worked (shares a fuse with the wiper!) and was about to speed dial the AA but had a look under the scuttle! The linkage had come off the spindle and some judicious use of Mikeys magic pliers (Already used on some coathanger to make an emergency exhaust hanger for his Vectra!) managed to twist the linkage into position. The wipers were slow, but they worked, and thats all that matters!!!!
Back on the motorway, carried on untile we hit more traffic on the M62 near Leeds, eventually getting back to Oldham at 5.15pm! 12 hour stint!

Car outside my house, filthy after 5 hours on the road!

My son with the car-he affectionately knows as "Noisycar"
Tuesday morning, I felt the car needed a wash. Spent 2 hours on the car, it it still very dusty inside, the downside of very little use I suppose....
Performed the first of many planned mods. Fitted the single wiper off my purple nova, which was made up from a brand new linkage with a secret ingredient to make the full sweep.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/0f4eb1cf.jpg
Old linkage and arms removed
New straight arm and longer blade
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/e781d17d.jpg
New linkage almost in position
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/503c28d7.jpg
So then the car with the sigle wiper, checked the sweep......
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/8801bc51.jpg
Unsure TBH if I prefer centre park or side park? Waiting for the cap to arrive for blanking off the spare hole and also removed the full sized front number plate.
I also fitted a shorter roof aerial and then took the car for a run down the motorway
Drove to see Fearless, to have a chat about some subtle aesthetic underbonnet mods. Don't wanna give too much away but add this
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/5c453a40.jpg
to this
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/a9b1ecde.jpg
add some shiny stuff into the mix and some removal/neatening up of the wiring and I'm hoping for a near concours quality engine bay!
New air filter will be fitted, but i'm a little worried about the amount of water that comes through the carbon fibre bonnet vents onto the air filter and the Bailey tank, Any ideas how to reduce it????

Awesome car, so thats why you wanted pics of it the other day ;) Lol
Colour looks great.
I prefer the wiper parked on the side, thats where i have mine parked.
Where are you getting a cap from to block the other wiper hole?
I just tigersealed a rubber grommet over the 2nd wiper plastic cap thing, and then tigersealed that over the hole.

Sorry to hear the wipers busted!!! Within one week of it passing the MOT, typical timing.
lol@dust - oops.
Looking good.
nice looking car that :thumb:
the gold really goes well with the green.
that is a mean looking car! its well nice! looks good with the gold wheels too.
by the sounds of things you'v got some good plans for it, looked forward to seeing them.
also what bonnet vents are they?
cheers, lew
is that single wiper legal? i think ill do that to mine, any guides about? is the sweep area legal?:cool:

Blanking gromet-
Go to vauxhall, ask for a blanking plug for Corsa B roof aeriel hole. ?3.50, has a bolt on the back of it. Paintable body colour, and Voila! Cheers to Fearless for that!
Rick I hate you even more than before!
is that single wiper legal? i think ill do that to mine, any guides about? is the sweep area legal?:cool: Yes.
But its illegal to have it parked in the middle.
Having it parked on the passenger side is legal.
I might go and get myself one of those grommets from vauxhall, and get it sprayed up white, should look better than a black one.
LOL @ Jules. Just need to collect my Kingdom front bumper and Novadose sideskirts.... Gonna have them painted yellow to contrast against the car, and fit some Afterburner rear lights and an alloy roof spoiler.... ;-P
Next mod is gonna be new reg plates. Legal 3D text on shortened plinths.

Looks nice. Does this mean your other car will not be been finished now?
I haven't decided yet..... I could sell the parts off my purple one for more than I have spent on this car,thus breaking even (in my twisted mind! LOL!)
Having a company car, my missus' beetle, K95, and my CBR600 makes another car a bit pointless really!
Also, insurance has come as a bit of a surprise on this valver!!! It used to be cheaper before I was 30, and all insurers have said "yeah, we've had a lot of claims on these recently" even though i want a 3,000 mile a year policy with ?500 excess locked in a garage with cat1/cat2, snap off and 9 years NCD!
God knows what they'd want for the other one if i ever finish it!
Since I started work at VW, my purple one hasn't really progressed how I would like because I work 6 days and when I'm off, i can't be ars3d going to the garage working on the car!

how much would you want for the nova then mate.iv got plenty of cash.is there any marks or faults with the car?
yes i really am a complete cretin
Matthew, I was getting quoted ?600-800 to insure the car. I live in OL1 which is allegedly in the top 10 of the UK's high risk post codes!
After phoning 43 (seriously!) insurers, I got it to ?422 fully comp, protected, covered for ?5000 agreed value based on the mods with Performance Direct because I've had insurance with them on and off since 1998.
It's raining today so no mods i'm afraid. Gonna go into work instead!
Briscoe16v, if you've got plenty of cash, make me an offer??????? Car is mint and has 12months MOT and 12months tax.

Rick,
I was thinking about this problem with water getting through the bonnet vent on mine.
Why not put some clear perspex on the other side - spaced to keep the air flow around the filter but the water will then just fall down behind the headlamp???
Looking good anyway - nice to see you're "keeping the faith" - Not keen on the gold wheels - anthracite is the way!!!
Joff
It will be good see this Nova around again!!
You have to leave the wheels gold!!! anthracite is so yesterday!! LOL!!

I have a momo race wheel with the snap off attachment - holes seem to line up OK on mine but I'm sure there were two different sets of holes i.e with different PCD's.
Joff
I have got a boss with 2 sets of holes, so I can bolt the bottom half ogf the boss, but the wheel and the top half don't line up. I keep having to ratchet off the bolts at the mo', not ideal!

Yeah, to cut a long story short for the people who are new-ish, I "knew" the car through the North West VPCC/PNG when it was built by Garry Hope. Garry spent nearing ?20k on the car, then sold it to _BEN_ who had it for 3-4 years but due to engine probs (car had a mega high spec engine)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/6d1c9a3b.jpg
he didn't use it much.

and was looking to buy Nick Caro's car when I saw it for sale at ?6000, but somebody offered more money than me and _BEN_ offerd K95 at a stunning price. Suffice to say, I have receipts for paint on the car, that add up to more than I paid for it!
I will put up a full spec when I get chance.
ok need some input. Next job is to remove the tailgate vinyl. What's the easiest way to do it?
theres bound to be a thread in styling about removing that stuff...
Couldn't find anything? am I blind????
probably... or magically start a thread in there ohhhhh ahhhhhhhh

24-05-06, 10:08 PM
i used a heat gun to warm it up them peeled it off then used auto glym stuff to remove the sticky stuff.
Or shall i take it to work and get the valeters to do it?????

24-05-06, 10:32 PM
i think some novas looks good with it and rik i think it suits yours.
where as i thought keiths did not look as good with it on.
just my thoughts tho.
IMHO the vinyl is well below acceptable condition. You can see where the "swillington autocare" sticker has been removed, and there is some fading as well. It may look perfect on the pics, but I can assure u it is not.
I would have probably accepted keeping it, but the 16v badge is not to my taste, nor is the VAUXHALL decal but once removed, they will leave "shadow" of where they were, like the "swillington....." has done.. There are also signs of trapped moisture, and I am thinking of rust prevention.....
Sorry to all u vinyl buffs, but it's gotta go....
Think of it as weight saving LOL!!

25-05-06, 11:02 PM
Warm it with a hair dryer. Start at one edge.
Dont blame you for taking it off tbh. Is the vinyl not available from GM anymore? I ask because I had a new one 2 yrs ago...
CG
Removing it makes it look like a half ****d GSi replica attempt!
If you are removing it then get some more and replace it! GSi's look so much better with the vinyl on the B pillars and tailgate.
The 'VAUXHALL' badge on the right was put on the later ones instead of the Griffin in the centre of the tailgate so imo should be put back aswell, along with a GSi badge on the left.
But that's just me.....
Rick Draper
26-05-06, 09:02 AM
You could always go to a sign writing place like Keith did and have a new one made up and let them fit it if you wanted? I myself am not ****d about the vynal, its not rare 12" so whats it matter.
craig green
26-05-06, 10:05 AM
Definately recommend a sign writer puts it on if anyone does get new tailgate vinyl.
I have to admit I much prefer a GSi or GTE to be wearing the pillar & tailgate vinyls. The one I got only had the GSi sticker on. Griffin stickers are 10 a penny on ebay aswell.
CG
regarding the wheels, speedline do a similar version and they can make them in any offset if you contact them directly. i spoke to someone about it at the autosport show a few years ago.
Or u could buy these off me...
found a few pics of it on my pc rick

What colour green is that GSi?
Vauxhall Rio Verde green, standard Vauxhall colour, was only avaliable on the Nova GSi's by special request from brand new I believe, Ricks one used to be white and was sprayed that colour.
Vauxhall Rio Verde green, standard Vauxhall
i have a plan? A mate of mine has a spare merit shell and i have spraying equipment + knowledge :wtf: :confused:
Contrary to popular belief, the colour is a custom mix, BASED on Rio Verde with extra white and silver pearl added (!) I am having a nightmare ATM getting paint mixed for my ******** that i need painting before fitting.
Rio was never offered as an option on the Nova I'm afraid.
Ricvk it's for sale in the back of the latest TV - we know know roughly how much you paid!

He suggested cutting and re-routing as much wiring under the bonnet as possible, and re-looming with a black nylon braiding like this...

I see you've wired it in with the big round plug!
I'd didn't use that as you don't need all the wires and use this plug a little further down the line instead. It sits inbetween the round plug and the engine loom.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/TheSimps/Nova/Mechanical/ConnectorXE-Starter.jpg
This plug has all the wires in it you need to get the engine wired up. Helps to tidy things up!
Simps.
I see your not looking at getting a power cap from courtney then? Personally i think the boxes look better to some extent but they do look a bit standard?
Power caps can gain a couple of BHP but lose bottom end torque so i'll stick with the SFI for now.... I fancy some Weber 45's (Did u hear me Fearless???!!!)
Anyway, back to the engine bay.... Dave cleaned out the breather hoses and replaced them, and fitted new jubilee clips wherever possible. The braiding was used wherever possible including the wiring to the horn (!!!)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/9026f5a2.jpg
You can see how the wiring is much neater, and the top rad tpiece has been spaced underneath to look "cleaner"

How much cleaner/neater??? Note the wiring loom is mostly hidden now or tied back. Comments welcome, and suggestions of how to improve the engine bay further??????
that does look well better. im was going to say get a heat sheild but you already are, that'll add a nice bit of shine nearer the front of the bay hopefully, nice
looks nice mate!
can i just ask...where do you get them Brake fluid res and cap covers made in stainless steel??
been after one for a while now!
cheers
How much do you charge to hide looms lol!!
Novaco,
The question is how much would u pay for a brake res cover and cap.... These are one-offs I had made at great expense... I may be able to get more made.......
Novastyla,
If you read the thread properly, you'll note that I haven't done the looming work, FEARLESS has done it for me while I went on holiday.... You can PM him but he's in Turkey for a week...
I know fearless did it, The post was aimed at him!! Maybe i should have made that clear!!!
Ill prob extend the loom and hid it in the wings etc before the lump goes in!
Cheers anyway!
Better off PM'ing Fearless... I don't know if he'll see it on this thread...
The reason we didn't put the wiring into the wings is because It's only a go-between car till my other one is finished.......I might put 45's on it as well....
I AM going into the wings on my purple one when that's finished, super-smoothed engine bay etc...
Hopefully, if my purchase goes to plan, My LETd Sweetie will be as clean as u like in the bay! Hidden wires and shiny stuff everywhere!!!
Cheers buddy!
There will be a huge WIP Thread! Watch this space!
Have u still got some 45's for sale???
Yes! Indeed i do! Need a good clean and probably a rebuild with new gaskets but thats nothing major!
As Far as i know theyre jetted and choked for an XE too
Inlet manifold needs a helicoil in the water tap bolt bit!!???!!
Other than that theyre fine!!
I've finished my fuel filler cap today (Day off work-nothing better to do!)

Rick - will K95 become a daily driver once your purple beastie is done then:D
Its looking really good mate, such a nice car!!
Only suggestion I have is - if you can be assed after changing them already is black Samcos. Not 100% sure but I recon they would go better with the green & look of the car.
Feckin nice mate!!
Mart
Well, I already had the blue hoses for the other nova (obviously, the car will NOT be purple when it appears again! Hint!) and all the other bits so I thought why not use them? I've got carbon door cards/cage/carbon Cobra Suzuka's/Sparco 4 point 3" harnesses in my garage that might end up in K95 yet.....
K95 will never be a daily driver. It has poly bushed front end and competition spec engine mounts and is very noisy.... I have a company car and my wife has a new beetle and I've bought a motorbike as well, It's just a toy for when I'm bored and wanna go baiting Subaru drivers!!!
When the other car is finished I will decide what to do. My son has asked to keep it, but he's only 8!
martweaver
27-06-06, 09:17 PM
Would be a shame to see it change hands again but If you are re-building yours then I suppose there is not much point keeping it.
Are you taking it to Billing? would love a closer look after about 5 years lol.
If you need to get rid of the samcos - I know where there is a nice breeze blue SRI they would suit;) lol

Can't get anyone to stretch the tyres on locally, anybody got any idea's? They won't do it at work.....
I might have to put 195's on just to get on the road. Starting to $hit it now for TRAX next sunday....... Lets hope they fit over the brakes :-**
Need to remove the vinyl (shut up! LOL!), fit new stereo (the kenwood mask is 10 yrs old and jumps every time I sneeze!) paint the brakes, new rear lights, MORE shiny under the bonnet, paint some bits under the bonnet, fit my MAX POWER stickers, kingdom front bumper, led washer jets and alloy rear spoiler..... Do you think a cossie rear woing would look out of place?????
Carbon seats will look good with carbon door cards and cage...... But not till after xmas! Gonna take K95 off the road for some TLC from October....

Hi,
What width are those wheels? I was thinking of trying to get some 165x50x15 Toyo R888 to fit my 6.5 x 15 so be interested in what width yours are and if you do manage to get those 165's to fit.

You should be working on your new project not messing about on the web, or more to the point making my mirrors!!!
Dont look like i can stretch them that far. Says they suit upto 6" rims so not sure if i can stretch them that little bit more.
Half inch wont make much difference so my mrs keeps telling me!
Are the wheels green by any chance :p
Love the seats and wheels should look awesome :)
thought i would ofseen the nova lurking about round rochdale, oldham, bolton. U ever go to any of the cruises? lovin the nova btw
Sorry mate, i'm 33 and work 6 days a week and have an 8-yr old son. I don't have time or inclination to go to cruises unless they are official and properly set up......

Dropped the wheels off for tyres, starting with a sensible 195/45/15" tyre, see how it drives. May downsize tyre at a later date...... Couldn't get anyone to fit 165 or 185 at such short notice...

**** me thats close.. isnt there any shield u can get made up? btw wha colour was/is your purple nova (no1 say purple cuz i no it is..) but i mean the name of it etc..
Green cars lookin mint... keep it up
Purple one was VW Violet Purpur, Paint code LC46P, special colour only available on VR6 golf highline and Corrado VR6/Storm.
Commonly mis-described as Blackberry or Mulberry.
Just waiting for the rain to stop so i can go out and do some more polishing/chrome/stainless stuff under the bonnet, paint some stuff, fit my MP3 stereo

kool cheers mate..u no in them pics of the purple 1.. well wat are those 17s called? and what happend to them?
MIM Raffino's. Rare as rocking horse ****.
The wheels were pretty widespread back in 1998 when the purple one was being built, but 7x17" et49mm were very rare. I sold them to a lad who had them polished and fitted to a Corsa. It was on the front of Total Vauxhall the month before Bretts or the month after.... I think he was called Martin. It was Caribic Blue with a Kingdom (?)front bumper, Carisma wing and Celica GT4 bonnet vent (all cutting-edge stuff back then! LOL!)

4-2-1 manifold shud give more clearance.

It's NOT black with a fleck in it at all mate. It's a textured, black finish as noted on the thread picture
4-2-1 manifold shud give more clearance.
SBD type-c manifold gives more power though, that's why it's fitted.
Looks like VHT Wrinkle Plus paint to me.
Manifold is toast in no time I reckon. I can vouch for it being a ****er on most roads.

Well, i can't find any wrinkle paint at such short notice, so I'm definitely gonna leave the rocker cover green for Trax, and poss leave the vinyl/rear lights until after Trax.
I'v been doing some last-minute underbonnet work. The rocker cover bolts were badly corroded, and it desperately needed a manifold heat-shield (pic underbonnet when I got it in May!)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/acb7f7df.jpg
Unfortunately, 4 of the rocker-cover bolts were jammed in tight, and all I succeeded in doing was rounding the heads!!!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/DSC00690rust.jpg
So had to use a counter-sink to remove, and after an hour (!!) finished fitting the bolts!!!!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/b4a31a27.jpg
Also fitted a Samco front breather (considering the 2 rear breathers from SFS/Roose/Samco but they're ?70-80-i'm not sure if it's worth it!)

yea no gold is definatly good there growing on me fast i had gold speedline mistrals on my astra gsi for ages hated them went to silver now white so i like a change looking forward to progress on your car
its so cool its my wallpaper
infact its going on my phone aswell

yes. If you are temted to lose the vinyl. Atleast do up another tailgate. The vinyl is no longer available from GM. Peeling it off would be a sin of SuperNova proportions.lol
I think matching the paint on a new tailgate would be more of a sin than removing vinyl!
On another note, I've just returned from Trax and the car was on Total Vauxhall stand and was extremely well received!!!!!

i didnt like it, but now everyone said the same (paint the old wheels dark) i like it for being differant, i do agree with the side skirts tho, some thing needs sorting with them, maybe remove them? or smooth them in the the body work (painting would be a nightmare, im guessing), or i think it the novadose ones that look alrite?

Fair enough comment, but everyone at TRAX said they looked amazing (to my face, that is!!!)
The reason I decided against anthracite wheels is because it's been done before and I love the euro theme. In fact, I have a set of even more extreme wheels in mind for next time!
All i can say really is thanks for the comments, good and bad.
Please vote on the poll I've posted
i really like them wheels buddy, god knows how you dreamed that colour combo up !! and id keep the vynal, lose the badges and have twin fogs
Less gold=a good thing.
Agreed, looking much more euro now, which is unique in nova styling.
I'm going totally Euro on my Black GSi.

Sorry couldn't resist, and those lights are gash. Wheels are nice though LOL think you should get some. Very rare on green novas so i've heard.
