Keiths Nova Turbo build

[krobinson]

Update 04/04/2008

Brake calipers now dry, and fitted along with new pads and a new fitting kit.





I also used some nifty bits from Maplin to secure the fuel lines without drilling the shell.





One side of the handbrake cable is fitted, and brand new mechanism purchased, however I need to modify the cavalier short cable to allow it to fit.



Thats one side complete now, and I'm glad it's looking so tidy.



I tightened up the rear bearings on the discs and tested the new shocks for clearance.





Just waiting on topmounts to fit the front coilovers.

You cutting the rear arches or you had them widened?? No way you will be able to drive it like that surly. Especially when you put your foot down

does look very nice though looking forward to seeing this in person

[krobinson]

Trust me, Arches have plenty of clearance, and there is no springs in the car for that photo, it wont be that low. Even at its lowest point they cant catch.

You sure keith. Have you taken into account deflection in the bush, the beam and the tyre when cornering heavily?

Yeah I have, the picture is too dark for you to see the proper gap, it looks touching in the photo but there's really about 3mm gap.
