Wheel base is distance between centre of front and rear wheels,
Overal width of the Nova is 1549mm
Corsa B is 1600 mm
Astra (mk3) is 1676 mm
Cav/cal (mk3) is 1700 mm

Cheers, do you know how much longer the drive shafts for the cav/calibra are compared to standard nova ones?

Take it this is to accomodate the sequential box? :cool:

The wide track kit I've got has to be used in conjuction with Astra (mk3)/Vectra (early) shafts, the kit widens the track by approximately 100mm (50mm per corner) so you need these longer shafts - these will be approximately 50mm longer too. Unfortunately I don't have any yet so I can't measure for you :(

Sequential box or not i'm looking into the options for widening the front track and need to know how much width i can gain using standard xe shafts, is the 50mm measurement what you gain from the shafts alone or is the box wider also?
