That front bumper is awesome !!!
+ rep for the bumper lol wish Mattig still sold the non extreme bumpers :(
Bought it from ebay Germany, dont know any facts about it, theres no factory plate or something that would say who made it.Quote:
Where did you get this manifold from?
Had to change the Bumper, for Road use the Mattig bumper is a bit conspicuous

it was time to drive it a little bit so great chance to grab some pictures
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i..._8422_hdrb.jpg
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8413c.jpg
and the steering geomatry had to be done
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8460b.jpg
i decided to run -3° camber ...yeah you read right :d it was possible to run nearly -5°!!
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8470b.jpg
and then.....
... the impossible happend. A few days later, engine had no power and started knocking :cry: i was gutted. not again!! :mad:
Love the widen arches, but i did like the orange paint..
Car is a bit awesome.
i ripped out the engine on the same day it "broke".
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8509b.jpg
at the end of the day i had a car without an engine :(
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8515b.jpg
some days late some new parts arrived i just ordered
new mocal oil cooler
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8519b.jpg
air vents and tubes for brake ventilation
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8523b.jpg
and adjustable cam pulley i couldnt use :(
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8527b.jpg
I was fed up! some much spent money for a few miles driving....
A friend of mine converted his Corsa B to C20XE so he had a X16XE left wich i could have for free. Big Thanks to him!
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8531b.jpg
So the next engine was delivered to my poor little nova
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8535b.jpg
and i began to prepare the engine to take place in the nova. I used the lightened flywheel and clutch from my 8V engine and pulleys from a C16SE.

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8540b.jpg
and two weeks later the new heart was planted in
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8565b.jpg
Ecotec lol the cover was gone very soon!
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8578b.jpg
after that i had to get a lot of parts to get it running...
fuelpipes
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8590b.jpg
throttle cable
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8673b.jpg
I used the speed sensor from a C14NZ which wasn't a wise desicion.
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8613b.jpg
then i started to prepare the engine loom. nice little after-work-activity :d
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8687b.jpg
wired in a Nova connector for easy plug and plug action
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8690b.jpg
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8694b.jpg
and fitted it to the engine/car
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8730b.jpg
Got a new Internal shifter out of a Corsa B and a new gear knob :d
used the baseplate of the old shifter as a support to get the gear knob a bit higher.
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8742b.jpg
pipes pipes pipes... that would make a nice Rollcage
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8990b.jpg
i couldn't resist to put it together to see what it looks like
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_8996b.jpg
Factory fresh :d Produced by Heigo
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9009b.jpg
couple of days later it was fitted.
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9041b.jpg
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9042b.jpg
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9044b.jpg
it was a nice day to take a picture in the nearby quarry
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9050b.jpg
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9059b.jpg
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9078b.jpg
its almost like you've stole my nova, black, wide arches, 16xe lump, that orange looked great and that bumper
soon afterwards more pipes were delivered
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9080b.jpg
2.5 inch exhaust system from Friedrich Motorsport... could be welded with a bit more care :wtf: must be produced on a monday :d
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9087b.jpg
fitting the exhaust system wasn't that difficult. love the way it look under the car!
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9457b.jpg
replaced the speed sensor because the engine kept cutting out when the car was stoped
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9421b.jpg
two lunatics on one pictures my nova and my friends corsa B C20XE
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9462b.jpg
then i treated my self by buying a trailer to carry my nova from racetrack to racetrack
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9522b.jpg
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9533b.jpg
And then, after one year i could return to the Nurburgring :cool:
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_9744b.jpg
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../IMG_0180b.jpg
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i..._CH/touri1.jpg
someone even took a picture of my car at the carpark :d
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...CH/touri15.jpg
and if someone can be bothered there are some onboard videos of me driving the ring. My driving style was a bit conservative, because i never driven this car in anger before and i didnt know its potential.
