how much are they worth? my mate is after my conversion kit for nova/corsas. and i just want an idea of how much its worth? its everything inc......engine mounts, shafts, cv joints, gearbox spacer etc. . . . cheers stu
Some places do them new for as much as £350 or more.
Personally, I wouldnt spend more than €100, but that may be why I dont have any. (yet ;))
shafts - £100 depending what they are
Mount kits as little as £40
So £150
Oh and they are totally different from each other the nova and corsa conversion kits. So its either nova Or Corsa.

Tbh I'd be concerned with quality over price. All these cheap prices banded around wouldnt inspire me with confidence tbh.
A mate of mine has a Chris Astely Motorsport Cracked mount on his car. Been on there for 9 months tops.

Then again, I wouldnt take a random's word for it that its the mount at fault.
All manner of Tom, Dick & Harry's have bought the mount kits over the years. 90% of the buyers have minimal mechanical skill or knowledge I should think. There are so many factors as to why it may have cracked aside from poor workmanship on 'Astley's behalf.
how else could you break it tho ??
the mount hasnt been cracked for nine months, we noticed it yestday, and the car is off the road til its fixed. The mount is 9 months old. I would say that me and my mates are a competant bunch of hobby mechanics, and have done loads of engine conversions over the years.

Tighten the bolts up too much lol
It can only crack because its shi.te quality theres no ways about it. youre right :thumb:
