Well kool, but very impractical lol

[Pistol Pete]

I'm guessing as the round turny thing is on the wrong side its more than likey a euro car. Looks abit naff IMO. And also blatantly undrivable i bet!

[JordyzNova]

can i have the rear lights :roll:

[Spudly]

Twas originally posted in 'projects' hence craig commenting but it was slyly moved by a mod who has just gone offline lol

[Jon_nova1]

is indeed undrivable...unless it only goes in a straight line lol

[mowgli]

Showcar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AlexW]

Airbags.

[Benn]

Was gonna say its on air ride, so it will be perfectly drivable.

[dj_wudgey]

i think if it didnt have the crapy paterns what ever that sh*t wants to be and the number plate suround it would look cool it needs differant wheels aswell!!

[Benn]

[sulphur]

[burgo]

[daverobson]

[burgo]

[Spudly]

some pretty good attempts are manageable by us hatch owners tbf lol

[burgo]

meh you hatch owners dont know what low is. my estate before it was an estate was running almost that low

[Spudly]

Oooh go you lol


My cav is lower than my nova and both catch on the speed bumps round here, difference is, my nova catches the exhaust, my cav catches the floorpan lol

[mayhem]

its f*cking cool with the colour and and all the pinstripes.. but its on bags :(

would love to have mine that low tbh

[burgo]

standard exhausts FTW mine never catches :P i normally catch he sills when coming off curbs tho

[Benn]

When you catch the metal tab that holes the brake lines in place is low...
A lil worrying but good.

[RJM25R]

[LEWI007]

youre really low when you snap inner cv joints within 1 week...
it was drivable low... olthough my cv joints on the short axle didnt agree..
it was XE'd and had about 3,5cm groundclearence with the sump

Mayhem you funking legend!

[mayhem]

after these pics i miss that old rotten sh!tbox.. had great fun with it.
i broke it about 18 moths ago, and used most parts for the current nova.
that sump cost me the engine.. i hit it at 60mp/h, we had to remove the crankbearings with a hammer and screwdriver lol

an other problem is, the inner cv on the short axle is at such an angle, the shaft hits that little lip on the joint. that cv joint in the picture lasted about 2 weeks... i still need to find a solution for that, so that the current nova can go lower.. i love scraping lol
where having a guy at the dutch corsa A forum making sump plates for big block nova's.. cause that wont happen again.

nice mate well get some pictures up when you have sorted it if you plan to have another that low lol

[Benn]

Yeah cv don't like it too low.. Have broken a few myself.

Sump guards is a very good plan,

[The Simps]

:d

[mayhem]

i'm thinking about using a longer short shaft... but how is that going to effect the rest..

[Benn]

Wont help i think, as its the huge angle that's put on the cv.
