    Suspension, Gaz coil overs all round, think I run 425lb's on the front and 250lb on the rear.

    It actually handles really well without a rear anti roll bar too but I've got it there incase I want to be like Iain and induce loads of lift off over steer!!
    haha nah man its good, like what your doing with the shifter, will have to do it myself on mine at somepoint!

    That seems heavy upfront i take it thats for the sheer engine weight? i built a big spec xr2 and that was on 250 fronts 450 rears was great maybe 300s upfront wouldve been better though!

    As I'm no longer running a front ARB I'm trying to curb the body roll and diving on the brakes with stiffer springs, seems to work well

    I found the only way to get my 2.0 Nova really handling well in the dry was with tough springs and some aggressive geo. It works really well now but is definitely a handful. I'm sure there is a middle ground somewhere.

    Ill let let House and Lain find it then will just copy them.

    You're not spamming mate, the whole point of this is to share knowledge!!

    I'd say yes baffled sump is a must.

    Craig runs a dry sump and my new shell will have one too but I'm using a baffled sump at present

    cheers mate i'll look into it!

    juest reading back through your thread, seen your running a Corsa B EPAS rack, are these a straight fit? (mounting points, coloum and thread for TRE's?) definetley NEED one of these after how bad the standard steering feels!

    Yes I am and yes straight fit, you just need to swap the arms over for nova ones as the corsa is a wider track I believe.

    One of the best upgrades I've done, made the car feel a lot sharper

    I like the shifter. Piky fitting is nice too.
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce
