View Full Version : epic mince.....
right, friday night, we all went out for a drive. pulls into the local car park, when my mate with his xe corsa shouts me over.... "mate look at this" looking at his engine the buggers sat pi$$ed. upon further inspection, the front gearbox mount had sheared all 3 bolts off into the box, letting it drop quicker than a hoes panties. anyway, after deciding that, a. the daewoo box was buggered, and b. we cba to drill the bolts out, we decided to swap the box for my f20. only prob being its still in my nova attached to the xe block....
so we towed it the 1/2 a mile to mine and abandoned it on the road outside, ready for sat morning. bright and early i got up, and ventured out into a cold and foggy saturday. weighing up the task ahead, i started ripping the nova lump out. pete turned up 10mins later and we got stuck in. 20mins later the xe was sat on the deck! we jacked the shell up, pulled the offending lump out of the way and dragged the nova down my tight single drive (i have no garage) pete then decided to drive the corsa up the ramp and onto my drive. halfway through this manouvre the n/s ineer c.v joint shat its internals, so we pushed the heavy bugger up. needless to say the daewoo paperweight was on the deck in 2hrs, and the f20 bolted in and ready for its new c.v and n/s shaft when the bloody c.v turns up. i finished at 6, tidied up and went to the pub. monday. i got up and checked everything over. 1 bolt loose, and a disconnected reverse light feed. i then set about wiring up his transducer, as some tail at vaux fitted leccy clocks. i also fitted a new vaux vectra b inlet pipe, refitted the tps plug (hanging off, god knows how or why....) and tidied up stuff. i'd like to say a big "thanks" to pete, for assisting, leon, for fetching stuff, chaz for enthusiasm, and everyone else who's been laughing at my builders bum, and petes gearbox oil hair..... and, a big "no thanks" to dale and jay, for being general assholes and letting their mates down. and to daewoo, who made such a good gearbox, that took more hammer in 5 months than it did in its former leganza home... :thumb: i dont have a garage, i had limited tools, and alot of pizza.... cheers everyone!

Nice write up.
So he owes you a gearbox now?
Oh and a "hoes panties", did u time them both?
he's paid £50 to supply and fit, then helped anyway!!! and i live on your typical council estate, panties are for special occaisions and they come off quick, esp. if i've got owt to do with it. btw the reason for the rush is that my rents come back from their holiday tomorrow morning.... "...and no fooking cars on the drive...." lol

haha i'vwe just got rid of mine. and my cav isnt home yet...
right, friday night, we all went out for a drive. pulls into the local car park, when my mate with his xe corsa shouts me over....
Thats where you went wrong. What you should have done was laugh at him for having an inferior Nova and then thrown some ice cream at him. Or something.
yeah i guess, but i did the comversion for him, and it scares him when he opens the bonnet.... mmmm ice cream...and im liking corsas more and more.....
yeah i guess, but i did the comversion for him, and thats probably why it keeps breaking....
Lmfao lollollollollollol
cheek! haha! it was dales gearbox..... and your getting his loon.... fail
Not necessarily, havent gone any further than him telling me he wants rid as he has another ghey ass corsa lol
haha, yeah another gay corsa. i do like em more now tho.... easier to convert and work on than a nova. see msn for issues on dales loon mate...
just had a text= "mate the spare shaft hasnt got a cv on it, ive ordered one for tues night, sorry" looks like the rents are gonna see it afterall.....
Oh dear not good, could you not do a dod and shove it down the street and just say its not yours lol
haha its airborne atm, so nope. ah well, it be reet. (sloth awaits castration)
well, the rents are home, and after a 2 hr ass chewing, i think ive got away with it. apparently its entrepenural (sp?) of me, so mums happy. c.v should be here tonight and the ccar gone by 11pm........ (i hope)

so they caught you after all then pal!!
yeah, his spare shaft had no inner c.v (mk2 cav 22spline one) on it, so hes ordered one for today. hence the fact theres a red corsa sport sat on my drive (oh the shame...)
i've been told to "get a bloody unit, and go into business!" haha! hmmm.......

well you tried eh lol well by the sounds could be a plan lol im going for a garage near my mates for same sort off thing but f*ck everyone else though id just fix my cars in it lol well we'd break cars aswell allways get offerd bargains so im going to get that and strip any bargain i get thats not nova shaped lol
i've been looking at doing it for ages, like space for 4 cars, and a 2post ramp. i'd break and do repairs aswell. hmmm. yeah my mum knows that i tried haha!!! i'd charge mates rates for labour and do a png discount..

yea its **** isnt it well apart from the compensation thats coming my way lol
yea ive had a few jobs like that!! i just will never do again no matter how much you pay me lol
if your only working on novas and corsas it would be ok doing conversions
oh and did you get any compensation or anything like that for your ear??
did i chuff! i was provided with ear muffs but never used em as i got shouted at to do stuff, and couldnt hear the shouts!! not sure if i could claim tbh. i'd want to do nova and corsa stuff aswell as corsa c and astra mk4 conversions, and a few other things i have ideas about.....
dj_wudgey
27-01-09, 05:21 PM
ohh thats a f*cker that you should be able to claim mate at least have a go!!
well yea man thatd not be too hard either just doing them especially with you knowing your way around vauxhalls!!!
thanks mate, i'm self taught on em!! i just read stuff, my bedside table has the corsa c, nova, astra g, saab 900, astra mk2 and cav mk3 haynes manuals on it.... i may see bout a claim, but i need a job first haha!

27-01-09, 05:39 PM
yea man i would dude its worth it!! you may get something!! go for no win no fee and youl be sound lol
well, its finally done, after waiting silly amounts of time for my dumbass mate to bring some oil, we finished it at 11pm. as i said in the first post mass thanx to all!!!!! it goes better now with the f20, and changes better aswell.

well at least its done dude even if you did get caught lol
how can you claim for damaging your hearing if you were given safety equipment ? its your oown stupid fault imo, but hey put a claim in anyway, lie about being given PPE and get some free money :roll:
dj_wudgey
28-01-09, 12:21 PM
well id have a go any way lol
yeah, i was thinking that draper, but apparently the ear muffs provided wern't to the right standard...... one of my old colleagues has done the same, something about frequencys?? thanks wudgey, hes well happy, he text me 10mins ago, saying " mate its far better, done 150 miles, and it faultless!! and it goes like a rocket!! thanx!" cant get better than that...
dj_wudgey
28-01-09, 01:01 PM
well if hes happy its sorted eh lol and if it makes his car faster id bet he's just out screaming it about i would be lol
he is.... hes got a speedo now aswell, we timed it last night, 0-60 in 6 sec flat... i stripped the daewoo box, and the bearings have **** themselves but the case and gears are ok, so they come in for spares!

i thought he would be lol well yea i supose at least youve got spares from the daewoo box lol i gather the speedo cable does not go in the daewoo box then lol
no, its that the corsa sports have a electric speedo, and you need a digi dash transducer to run em in a corsa. i had no transducer when i did the swap, but i since bought 6 and the wires.....
