Edd's Nova Sport

[Edd]

You know what Edd I agree with Keith..... I think it looks fantastic as it is and due to the fact you are doing things differently throughout the whole car to a stock sport I think It would be another way of gaining yet more individuality. Which is rather difficult nowadays to say the least! On another note I hope you make it to the vboa bash In july as Im looking forward to having a look round it. All the best with the retest!

Edit..... I also think the gms bib is the perfect choice as ploughs seem the more obvious way to go nowadays which is not what your build has been about. Its all come together so well Edd quite simply excellent and well done throughout.

Nick.

Thanks Nick, I didn't think I would like the GMS spoiler but I now think it suits it perfect

With the decals, I think they make the Sport a Sport tbh, think it may look a little bare

Every time i see a hit on this thread i look at it and like it even more,what a car!

Cheers mate

Edd that really is looking spectacular. Hats off to you and credit where is due

Thanks very much

Well done Edd, cracking looking car and very individual, built to your taste,

Flock the f**k out that cage and keep it

Cheers, not sure what to do with the cage tbh, might remove the front it looks stupid without the doorbars on, with them on you have to get in Dukes of Hazzard style

Looking really good Edd, be nice to have a look round it at Billing.

Cheers mate, I will be there all being well, anyone is welcome to look round it, although I don't think its perfect yet

Past the retest

Its fcuking awesome done 35 miles

Few issues, needed to adjust the gear linkage

And have some play in the left front wheel bearing, hoping to tighten it up, will the bearing be fcuked ?

Few pics from the trip out









VERY VERY pleased with it, so awesome to be driving it

I would check your bearing, my MOT friend commented on the front offside wheel bearing when I first re MOT'd the SR, was OK, but thought there was a rumble (it was built with new bearings)

First long run out, Billing 2007 front bearing collapsed on the way home, ended up like

Fronts bearings arn't adjustable dude....

Looks awesome dude!

So there wasn't any play, now there is, new bearing needed ?

Im worried if I just do it up I will have the problem Royston had on the way to Billing for example

Looking tidy that Edd.

looks fantastic edd, a real credit to your blood, sweat and tears, i cant wait to get back out in mine(one day ), for the sake of £12 or so i'd replace the bearing for peace of mind tbh

[Royston]

The bearings are pressed into the hub as you know, there is no adjustment, the cv joint assembly holds it together, they are matched when the bearings are built.

I think I must have brinelled the one that failed when I installed mine, too much effort in the big vice

Would suggest just changing it, they aren't expensive, just a pain to do, especially just having finished her, just look at what happened to me after I ignored a friendly warning
