If you go down to JNC we have a GSI on the back ramp thats having a C20LET / F28 fitted at the moment so you can see whats involved.

The gearbox mount on the car will need moving and re welding as well.

Also which nova is yours as i will no doubt know it anyway.

thats where i wanted to take it but paul is taking so long with that other nova!! myn is tha black 1 with the spoiler... i had my rollcage fitted at jnc. joe gave me ur number to ask u about ur coilovers, r u selling them?

[Philsutton]

Well I will be, but im in no rush at the moment to get them off the car ect.... unless I have some other stuff to put back on it.

And yes it has taken a horrifically long time for the other one, couldnt really tell you why that is though.

[nick_nova]

its sorted now ive bin down n he says bring it on friday :)
il give u the suspension off my nova if u wish? and is there a differnce with the corsa and nova coilovers? like.. 20mm drop on corsa avos is a 30mm drop on novas?

[Philsutton]

the nova/corsa/tigra coilovers all have the same part No. so its no different really.

There is enough info on all the forums to do a LEt conversion yourself, even easier as yours is already a big block.

Main thing is the possible difference in wiring looms & some IC pipes etc. Plus the F28.

The Simps has done a great guide.
