Edd's Nova Sport

[Edd]

As some of you might know i bought Rich's (Novasport) Sport shell a few weeks back,

For those who dont know it's a brand new bodyshell thats been acid dipped, e coated then painted Polar white using all new genuine panels

included in the deal with Rich i got

Full Sport interior,
Sport decal kit,
Confirmation letter from Andrew Duerdan

Rich's thread (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68132)

few pics of what Rich had done to it,

back from dipping and coating;

when i went to pick it up Rich had done a amazing job in wrapping it all up so that it would not get damaged on the trailer all the way back down the country, big thanks to him for that.

On this build, which will be my last, i will try to use all genuine parts and take my time to make sure its perfect.

Few pics of whats been happening,


On the trailer picking it up;

Out of my garage for the first time;

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0507.jpg

First job was to give the inside a good clean before fitting the headlining, rear arch carpets, A and B pillar vinyl and carpets in. As original as i would somethings are not going to be possible, so had to do this with the arch carpets;

gave the whole shell including the engine bay a polish with Super Resin;

Im picking up a 13sb engine from Rich next week, mounts are off being powdercoated so engine will go in then, wont have time to do any more to it until then.

Thanks for looking.

Edd.

[comptoncj]

[Edd]

[brainsnova]

[General Baxter]

needs welding up and big blocking lol

[Edd]

needs welding up and big blocking lol

you need shooting for saying that lol

[General Baxter]

bang im dead lol

[vaughanmc]

Good progress Edd - I need some of that paint for some of my grey interior trims :)

[Plug]

looking good edd :thumb:

[novasportc550]

sweet, this will be one to watch,, :thumb::thumb:

[Southie]

At last Edd I was waiting for your wip. :)

Looking forward to seeing your progress on this and good work on finding what is a perfect sport shell :thumb:

[Connor]

Very Nice,
will be watching this :thumb:

[sport]

Looking good mate, whats your plans for it if you dont mind me asking, i know Rich had planed a motorsport theme for it you contiune with that?

[Edd]

Looking good mate, whats your plans for it if you dont mind me asking, i know Rich had planed a motorsport theme for it you contiune with that?
it will have a standard Sport interior but with a cage.

engine plans are NO carbs, Irmscher injection kit, Rotrex charger (at some point).

exterior wise, standard Sport but without the horrid mirrors and MAYBE a rear spoiler

[comptoncj]

Interesting plans Edd will keep an eye on your progress

[John]

Looking good Edd! Good progress, can't wait to see the engine in the bay!

Sounds good Edd best of luck with it.

[SRimon]

Lovely Edd, give me a shout if you ever want a hand on it! I'm not bad with my spanner skills - your's has no carbs, mine does! lol

[Nick J]

Excellent Edd........ Im sure you'll push the boundries on perfection when and were you can! :)

Nick.

[Edd]

Lovely Edd, give me a shout if you ever want a hand on it! I'm not bad with my spanner skills - your's has no carbs, mine does! lol

Cheers Si,

i do like the sound of the carbs, but i know NOTHING about them set up wise, plus i REALLY want to charge a 13SB so injection system is needed.

I would also like this to a little different to all the other Sports, nothing major tho.

Cheers for all of the comments so far.

[Edd]

Excellent Edd........ Im sure you'll push the boundries on perfection when and were you can! :)

Nick.

Cheers Nick,

iv got lot of brand new genuine parts to go on and il take my time to make it perfect.

[SRimon]

Edd, I know what you mean about the carbs, i've spent about 2 hours playing with mine already and they still aren't right, at least the idle and run now though! I get some fuel chokage at 5500rpm though which I need to figure out.

Yeah I love the idea that the supercharger is going on it, will be different, but yet, still in keeping with the sort of mod's that might have been done to a sport!

What wheels?

[Edd]

What wheels?

Iv got THESE (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-x-New-Compomotive-6x14-CXN-ET45-/370254914063?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item5634e9a20f) 14's in mind atm, they are white, but not sure,

[Novasport]

Nice to see you have started a WIP, looks like you are cracking on with it. You have done more than I did in the last month than I did in the last 3 years lol
Glad to see it getting built, something I think I would never have got done.
Good luck, I will be following the thread closely and I hope to see it at Billing.


Iv got THESE (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-x-New-Compomotive-6x14-CXN-ET45-/370254914063?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item5634e9a20f) 14's in mind atm, they are white, but not sure,

They are the guys I got my new RFX's off, or as they listed them RXF's!
Got them for about £250 delivered evetually iirc.

[craig green]

Its a great shell with a whole stack of new or pristine bits to go on it.
It'll be great & the wee touches Edd has in mind are all spot on IMO. Nothing irreversible so therfore not controversial I hope.

Crack on mate & hope to help soon. You need a bigger garage!

[NOVA13SPORT]

Good progress Edd , will be watching this one

[Royston]

Hi Edd, see you are getting there;)

Just as a note refering to the Irmscher injection, the system I have came off a Nova Sport, was fitted to it when pretty new:) Knew the car for many years, one of the four that were local to me

[amggsi]

Looking good!

Plans are different alright, in my opinion carbs make a Sport a Sport, but if we all had the same ideas it would be a boring place! All the best with the build, and I do hope to see it at Billing!

[NOV4_SPORT]

Very smart mate, i hope to see the car at billing, iam sure it will be amazing when its finished.

iain

[Angus Closier]

Only just seen this! Looks really tidy mate! Im sure it will show most novas up when its finished! What you going to use it for when its done? Just shows or?

[Benn]

That is beautiful. Have you painted all the carpet?

Get some proper wax on it, get it sealed nicely.

[Count Vaux Alot]

I love that Edd it looks stunning i too would love a sport very nice!

[MattBrown]

Cracking base to start with edd:)

What happened to the damage on the rear quater? Was it just paint scuffs?

Also, whats the plans, as its caged, is it going to be "Historicly" used, hillclimb or something?

Or purely a toy?

[Tommy_nova]

awsome stuff edd where was it painted also where did you buy the carpet underlay from :d

Tommy

[mr5050]

possibly the best shell ive ever seen! how much did that set you back edd?

[ben doodar]

Awesome Edd. I remember reading about this shell ages ago. It must be so nice to build a car up from such a nice fresh start.

What happend to the old shell?

[novacabrio]

possibly the best shell ive ever seen! how much did that set you back edd?

Some questions should never be asked and will probably not be answered, I think that should stay between Edd and Rich :roll:

Edd if you need any interior bits let me know as most of the bits you sold me with the interior wont be used

[mr5050]

like that is it? lol, fair enough... id pay £2500 and walk away with a smile, awesome car , great buy!!!

[SRimon]

I think at £2500 the queue would be quite long..

[burgo]

cracking on with it straight away :d

[dj_wudgey]

looks bang on mate!

[Edd]

Cheers for all the comments


Have you painted all the carpet?



No just the rear arch carpets, i have a fair few browns sets to chose from just put a set in to save the floorpan from getting scratched whilst im building it up.

Paint damage will require some paint on the rear quarter, i have a good friend who will sort it to a very high standard once its on the road.

I will use it mainly on the road, cant see me taking it on a track tbh.


where was it painted ? also where did you buy the carpet underlay from ?

Tommy
Adrian Culley painted it iirc.

I got the underlay from OpelClassicParts on eBay.de




What happend to the old shell?

Craig now has it, I'm sure he will start a thread when he starts work on himself

Well said Mark :thumb:

Il let you know about the interior, thanks for the offer.

[wwmnw]

Nice, I'll be watching this and its good to see its all being done properly will be epic when finished.

[Edd]

Update time;

I went to pick a 13 sb engine up off Rich few weeks ago.

Fully rebuilt engine with a Kent ast2 cam fitted, i do have cylinder head with 1mm oversize valves but i dont want to split the headgasket so i will fit this head when i eventually put the charger on.

Engine;

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0533.jpg

Built up with a F13, i degreased, etch primed, and painted in silver. Still got to refurb the end plate and diff cover.
Fitted some gearbox bolts that have been chromed.
New flywheel fitted as well.
The place where i took the metal engine mounts to ended up losing them :mad:
so i refurbed some other ones.
Still need to put the Irmscher rocker cover on.

Built up;

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0535.jpg

Iv decided to use genuine new engine mounts but for the rear gearbox where iv gone with a new solid one.

In;

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0537.jpg

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0541.jpg

Fitted a few other bits, stainless bonnet stay, new rubber bonnet stay holder, chrome bonnet release spring and brake bulkhead blank.

Still loads to do in the bay but least the engine is in.

Tomorrow should see me make some progress with the interior.

Edd.

[floydy13]

engine and box look good painted up mate, giving me inspiration on painting my engine and box on my Areg resto!

[Benn]

Looking good marfunkoooo

[craig green]

Back breaking work! lol

Engine is looking good in there, if a little small. It looks lost. :thumb:

[novasportc550]

nice....:thumb::thumb::thumb:

[Novasport]

Great progress, keep it up. A bit of money went into that engine, new GM bearings, new GM oil pump, new starter, new GM lifters, new rings, new sump, Kent AST2 cam kit & all stuck together with GM gaskets. Glad to see it going to good use.

[Plug]

looking good edd :thumb:

[vaughanmc]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh love it mate :)

[GRUNT 16V]

looking dam good mofo !

[dj_wudgey]

the engine is looking good matey!!

[88ESR]

That looks outstanding...

[SRimon]

Great work Edd, i'm in Taunton in a week or so i'll try and pop up.

[vaughanmc]

Any more updates ? :)

[Edd]

Cheers for all the positive comments everyone.



Any more updates ? :)

I have done lots more, il update with pics over the next few days.

[Benn]

Get the pics up dude.

[GRUNT 16V]

Yer What Benn Said

[w3rmz]

Edd did you take your mounts to the place on bristol road? Was planning on taking a few small bits there but not if they are going to lose them lol

[Edd]

Yes mate I did, Blast and Bake, f*cking cowboys IMO, didn't even say sorry bout losing them ffs.

Place down Dunball are doing my beam and tie bars and there cheaper too.

[w3rmz]

Thats s**t service mate! think ill give them a miss then, get some pics of your beam up once its done! i may try them instead!

[novacabrio]

[vaughanmc]

Pics ??? :thumb:

[Edd]

I'll sort them tomorrow for sure, been busy with other stuff

[vaughanmc]

Nice one :) When do you hope to have it done for ?

[Edd]

Did want it done for Billing, no chance of that now, still waiting for some parts.

End of July I reckon, IMO there's no point rushing it then having to re do things, I'll take my time and do it right.

Really really looking forward to driving it tho, got a full 6 days to work on it now so will hopefully get loads done.

[vaughanmc]

Nice one, hopefully see many progress pictures then ? :)

[craig green]

[Edd]

^^ cheeky mo fo !!!!

As long as the parts I order don't take ages to turn up it shouldn't be far off the end of July

[craig green]

Going to change the cyl heads over?

[Edd]

Yes for sure, been looking into gasket sets today, found a genuine gasket and bolts. I'll order them up tomorrow.

[novacabrio]

Pictures or STFU

[Novasport]

Nice Avatar! ;) lol

[Edd]

Update time finally, lol

Done quite a bit since the last update, mainly fighting with the headlining for about a day, NEVER EVER will I fit another, complete pain to do, but happy with it now.

Fitted my front heated screen for the group buy, used the correct sealer as well.

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0552.jpg

Fitted new gray rear bumper and bumper bar, not the correct one for a Sport i know but there's NO chance of me getting a new one of those.

Built up some of the tailgate, bronze tinted glass fitted with new seal.
Fitted brand new rear lights, one being a twin fog euro cluster.
Fitted a brand new early SR spoiler, and pressed metal number plate that I got off Rich.

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0554.jpg

Inside as said headlining is in seat belts fitted, rear quarter cards and half of the rear seat also fitted, can't fit the lower half of the seat untill i fit the tank as I'm using a internal pump I need to access the top of the tank.
Handbrake lever is in as are the plastic seat runners.

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0555.jpg

In the engine bay I have fitted a new steering rack with new bushes, would of liked new GM ones that are black but they are NLS, so the flo-flex ones will do.

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0543.jpg

Rack fitted, not got any track rod ends fitted yet so still have the broom handle in there as well lol. Also fitted a refurbed brake servo base and alternator bracket.

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0558.jpg

Also fitted a new oil pressure gauge sender,

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/88cdf770.jpg

Other things I have done are fit the early gray B pillar vinyl, fit 4 branch manifold and spray the rear window surrounds, I used U-Pol mid gray and its too dark so i will re do them with U-Pol Light gray.

Also been sorting out the gear stick unit, cleaned it up and spray the rod with etch primer and silver Hammerite smooth paint, and fitted a brand new Sr/Gte gear stick, gaitor and nob combo I got a little while back.

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0547.jpg

Built it back up but not had time to fit it yet.

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0549.jpg

I have encountered a few problems on the way tho, first being how to fit the seat belts with the cage as in the pic below, maybe need to chop and weld the bar somehow ?

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0562.jpg

Second being the wiring for the oil pressure sender, got three wires that go down there think one is for the alternator, or 2 ? or is there 2 that go to the oil pressure sender ? And all three have different plugs than the sender?
Help needed me thinks.

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0561.jpg

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0559.jpg

Busy with work for a week now so no update until then. Would of liked to have much more done by now but it all seems to take longer than i think lol.

Edd.

[krobinson]

Great work :)

[Benn]

Looks awesome dude, you now see why i hate doing head linings?

White/blue with the ring is oil pressure iirc.

[Plug]

Cracking update there mate :thumb:

What cage is that btw??

[vaughanmc]

Looks stunning mate, old Aberdeen reg IIRC too :)

[Edd]

Cheers for the comments.




What cage is that btw??

Safety devices mate.

[Balley]

Amazing, Subscribed... :)

[Southie]

Coming along nicely Edd, liking the numberplates being in the older style lettering I guess they were done a while ago?

[Edd]

Coming along nicely Edd, liking the numberplates being in the older style lettering I guess they were done a while ago?

Cheers Southie, i got them of Rich, think he has had them made up a while ago. They are pressed metal ones, suit the car well imo.

[Novasport]

Edd, the oil sender is a later one which has a multiplug. The correct one has a stud & 6mm male blade. Great work BTW, nice to see it coming along.
Re the seatbelts, I was going to run four point harnesses. There is an extra hole drilled on each side of the rear seat pan for the eye to go through and fit to a strengthening plate.

I had them made at the Classic Car Show at the NEC a couple of years ago. They did them there & then.

It was supplied by SMT Aberdeen.

[Mark Sparks]

Looking fantastic mate :thumb: , not to sound or picky anything like that just noticed but that rear bumper is the wrong one i know coz i did the same lol it should be smooth at the bottom.
And will the rear decal fit ok now the spoiler is fitted?
As for the seat belt could you not take the plastic out put it on the bar first and some how thread it between the cage? it does look tight tho:eek:
I wouldnt cut it coz that means welding it in the car with the carpet fitted would be a nightmare if it cought fire.

I dont really want to fit harnesses so ii hoping there will be a way round it.

Seeing i have the wrong oil sender, (great payed 50 quid for it !!!) is that still going to work ?

in the pic below of the one i have, it has stud and a plug, and i have 3 wires any idea to which one goes to the stud ? and the plug ?

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0559.jpg

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/SAM_0561.jpg

i think one is deffo the charge light that goes on the alternator, the one with the ring i think ? Do 2 wires go to the sender ?

Cheers, i know about the bumper, REALLY REALLY want the correct one but cant find a new or as new one anywhere :(.

There is no chance of fitting the seat belt bar behind the cage, no chance lol think i have to look into it further.

[Mark Sparks]

The one in the midle goes to the altonater the other 2 go to the snder. Cant see why it wouldnt work mate just make sure by testing it with a oil preasure tester.

[Novasport]

Blue with yellow tracer is the signal wire & brown is earth. Just checked early and late and its the same for both so your sender might be off something else like an XE. Either that or the earth stud is not used and the wires both go the the plug.
Do you have a part number for it? I can check on EPC then

**Edit** can you clean the mucky finger prints off the firewall please ;) lol

[Edd]

THIS (http://www.vauxhall-car-parts.co.uk/acatalog/VAUXHALL_OIL_PRESSURE_SWITCH_-_90337695N.html) is the sender iv got, Part Number: 90337695N

I don't have a brown wire tho.

I did notice the finger prints !! lol nightmare keeping it all clean tbh lol

[Novasport]

26 switch, Oil Pressure (2 Connections)12s, 12st, 13s, 13sb, C14se, E16se
Chassis range -J4999999
Part number 90040918 12 52 5581

27 switch, Oil Pressure (2 Connections)12s, 12st, 12nv, E12gv, 13s, E16se, C16se
Chassis range K4000001-
Part number 90337695 12 52 563

26 is the correct one but EPC lists both as '2 connections' so should still work.

[Novasport]

Sorry, both wire are blue/yellow. I have just been out to the garage and checked mine. Read wiring diagram which shows a wire going to earth and I wrongly presumed it to be a brown earth wire.

[Edd]

Nice one for looking, the ring on the stud and the other to the plug then I think ?

[Nick J]

Top work Edd ;)

Nick.

[craig green]

Find a plug down the breakers & put it on the loom?

Nice update Ted, sorry we havent caught up whilst you were off.

[Nova_Tek]

The Nova is looking great mate, great project, really liking it :thumb:

What stuff did you use for the heated screen? Where did you get it from?

[novacabrio]

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OIL-PRESSURE-TRANSMITTER-ASTRA-CAVALIER-CARLTON-NEW-/230384803751?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35a4011fa7

This is what i'm using on the sport, not bad value at £13,

Great update, how much room is there between the seat belt mount and the cage? I cant see any other option than to use harneses if the mount wont fit between the cage and sill. Can you not fit the belt them put a load of force on the cage and push it into place?

[GRUNT 16V]

looking good!

[vaughanmc]

Any more updates Edd ? :)

[Edd]

Any more updates Edd ? :)

Il sort some pics tomorrow, been doing a few bits :thumb: All takes time tho.

My Vectra died the other day so I'm having to put time/money into finding a new daily drive atm as well. :(

[vaughanmc]

Ahhh right - Pain in the hole mate

[Edd]

Ahhh right - Pain in the hole mate
Lucky its good weather, been down local srappy on my push bike for nova bits today lol

I'll sort some pics tomorrow but iv fitted the fuel tank, brake servo, few interior bits and a little more.

This turned up yesterday as well :d:d:d:d:d

THE BEST shocks for any nova, had them my old XE, awesome stuff.

[vaughanmc]

Looks good fella :)

[Novasport]

Only the best, need to get my finger out and fit mine

[MattBrown]

Not much use as your sing an SD cage, but theres absolutely no chance with an omp.

However, I put a rear SD cage in a gsi, and we kept the seat belts, we already had the bent metal mounts in, try unbolting cage, then putting them in, then putting cage back?

Having another look/think/shout/bend with the cage tomorrow, hopefully get something sorted with it.

Ok, pics of it if you dont mind fella!

Its must go in somehow.

Were the legs pulled towards eachother with a strap when fitting?

I was always told to tention a cage when fitting etc?

MAybe because we pulled the legs in it fitted?

[Edd]

The only way of it fitting is if you bend the metal rail for the seat belt, i have a few in case it goes wrong lol

[MattBrown]

Just hope you dont crash and need that bar to be rightlol

Is it an mot failure? Altered seatbelt mountings?

[Edd]

Just hope you dont crash and need that bar to be rightlol

Is it an mot failure? Altered seatbelt mountings?

I asked my mot mate and he said as long as the secure and not modified that they are weaker then its ok.

I dont think the bar will need that much bending, its just getting it right which is why im glad i have spare ones

[Edd]

Bit of a update, finished off a few things but not as much as i would of liked:(

Sorted out the new fuel tank, etch primed and sprayed silver, did the tank straps as well,

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/Picture005.jpg

havnt done much with the interior, need to try fitting the cage again but wasnt in the mood for that today lol

Egine bay wise i have refurb the servo and m/c and refitted it, also refitted some of the gear linkage i had refurb along with new bushes and a quick shift, and fitted a brand new heater motor cover

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/Picture003.jpg

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/Picture006.jpg

managed to sort my oil pressure sender problem out yesterday, i just cut the plug off a corsa and now need to join it to the car loom and its sorted.

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/Picture007.jpg

Been looking in to what wheels yo have, all the ones i like are either not made anymore or the wrong offset, although i really want some 14's as imo nova's drive best with them on i have decided to use the 15" steelies i got with the shell, they seem brand new. Need to sort some tyres for them and some BMW wheel bolts in black.

Managed to get a brand new set of old skool center caps that i will use;

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/Picture008.jpg

More pics tomorrow with a proper camera :thumb:

Edd.

[Southie]

Nice progress Edd, what springs will you be running with the billies?

Also this is supposed to be on the engine mate not on the slam panel, it will never work. lol

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/Picture007.jpg

[Edd]

Eibach springs mate,

lol pic was just to show the plug i got for the sender been hunting for the right one for a few weeks :thumb:

[Southie]

Cheers Edd I've been considering getting some new (standard style) shockers and springs for mine, how much of a drop is the Sport having, 40mm?

lol I just bought one of the ones linked a few pages back ;)

[Edd]

yep 40mm CBA's with all that ultra low buppyness lol

wish i knew about those senders before i paid 50 tho :(, yeah i bought one as a spare as well lol

[Southie]

You and your spares lol

Keep going matey tiz looking proper wikid mofo :d

[Benn]

Dude, dont for get the tank breather, you'll want the tank down to fit that and push the pipe thru the hole in to the arch...

[Edd]

Its fitted mate

[Benn]

Ah cool cool. Great progress.

[Novasport]

Edd the wheels were brand new Mini steels I bought to get the shell rolling, dont look too bad actually.

[Edd]

Edd the wheels were brand new Mini steels I bought to get the shell rolling, dont look too bad actually.

Yeah i think they can stay, will look good with the center caps i found and with low profile tyres.

Do you the part number for the BMW black wheel bolts ?

[Nick J]

Yeah i think they can stay, will look good with the center caps i found and with low profile tyres.

Do you the part number for the BMW black wheel bolts ?

If Rich doesnt I do on my invoice somewhere.... You'd be best off getting either me or Rich to get them and post as they are damn expensive especially if you want lockers too.

Nick.

[saloonwoody]

lookin good m8 :) you goin to do the wheels white ?

[Edd]

Wheels are staying silver with the centre caps on.

To many Sports with White wheels IMO

[Novasport]

Ditto, thats why I like my silver RFX's so much. Still undecided what colour to refurb my 15's

[vaughanmc]

Still undecided what colour to refurb my 15's

If there RFX's sell me them :)

[Edd]

Get in line mate lol

[Southie]

I don't want to buy the RFX's but can I be first in line if you give them away lol

[Edd]

Been busy .......lol

After realising that I wouldn't have it on the road for the summer I kind of gave up tbh, got some motivation back a few weeks ago.

Mainly been concentrating on the engine bay,

Fitted;
New alloy rad, new rad rubber mountings and new clips
Fitted my other cylinder head with enlarged inlet and exhaust valves, new studs, painted cam housing and head in VHT, fook knows if it will stay on lol, irmscher cam over on top of it all.

Painted Irmscher inlet satin black the sanded back the letters back to match the rocker cover and fitted it.
New header tank, repainted metal water pipe and Roose hoses fitted with stainless jubilee clips.

Few pics;

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/c41e91fc.jpg

Pics could be better but can't find my camera so had to use phone.

Found out that the loom in the car is a very early one on NONE of the plugs match the new sensors I have, rad fan, horn, reverse switch, rad stat, plus more need chopping off and correct ones soldering on, lucky I have a spare loom.

More updates over the next few days, just pleased as it looks like iv made some progress. lol
Got to get some tyres for my new wheels next week.

Edd.

[vaughanmc]

Looks very very nice mate! Irmscher bits look good

[Edd]

Cheers Vaughan, really motivated with it ATM

Picking up a Courtenay converted 1300 tomorrow all being well, will fit the turbo bits when the engine is run in.

[comptoncj]

Looks good Edd! keep up the good work

[Benn]

Engine bay looks great!

[Southie]

Ooh it's looking goodie goodie gum drops, loving the irmscher goodies very nice.

One word: Tyres lol ;)

[Tommy_nova]

Tidy work edd Looks great matie

Tommy

[Edd]

Cheers Benn, cj, tommy thanks for the positive comments

Southie, lol next week mate got to do some shopping about round town for a good price. 175/50/14 is what I'm after.

[Southie]

Cheers Benn, cj, tommy thanks for the positive comments

Southie, lol next week mate got to do some shopping about round town for a good price. 175/50/14 is what I'm after.
Try camskill mate bound to be able to get you some cheaper than most.

What next on the agenda now you've got your ass into gear. lol

[Edd]

Next on the list is building up the doors and alarm install, fooking hate soldering so been putting it off tbh

Got some pipe for fuel lines so will do that and the filler neck as well

Door handles and locks have been installed as well, pics of them next time.

[Plug]

wow just had a look for that tyre size on Blackcircles and £50 for a budget per tyre fitted or £90 for Pirelli P6000

Christ


Edit haha thats for 2 lol

[Edd]

Yeah there not cheap lol

Place in town will do me a good deal tho

[Plug]

Looking good anyway mate :thumb:

1300 turbo coming aswell :) liking the sound of that

[Edd]

Me too, be a while before that happens tho, need to finish the car and run the engine in first, would like to have 130bhp out of a 1300, plus it's loads cheaper than my original supercharger idea.

[Plug]

yea was going to say must be cheaper than the old supercharger route, still think it needs doing properly thou. will be a quick sport then on the orignal engine ish lol

[Southie]

Your only putting a turbo on to have a dump valve, you chav you lol

Will the internals of the engine be okay for a turbo conversion, and the compression. Sorry I'm not up on the turbo side of things.

[Plug]

im guessing this courtney one he is buying will have low comp pistons or a spacer plate of some sort

[Edd]

The 1300 engine I'm getting has low comp pistons so they will just need to be fitted, need to speak to Courtenay bout the rings tho. There will be no need for the spacer plate/2 headgasket job, think Courtenay only went down that road due to the cost of custom pistons like the ones I'm getting.

Comes with cast manifold same one I think that came on a 1600 8v turbo conversions, a t2 turbo and down pipe.

Will be a few days work to get it converted once the car is on the road IMO

Will be very unique which is what I'm trying to achieve with my Sport

[Southie]

Edd's unique Sport. I like it would be a better name for your project title.

Turbo engine sounds alllllll good then.

[Novasport]

Dont butcher that loom, took ages getting that right! lol
You may have issues with the AST2 cam and the turbo injection system together.
Looking good though, liking the work so far.

[Mark Sparks]

looks realy good pall. plans sound great can't wait to see this in person.

[Edd]

Cheers Rich glad your liking it so far, everything takes so long to get right tho

That looms been giving me a big headache lol Is it a very early loom then ? Lots of the plugs don't match up.

Iv got a brand new gte cam that will be better suited to the turbo.

[Novasport]

Its the correct loom for a Sport, only difference was the bulkhead grommet as the later mk1 shell had a slightly larger hole.

[stt]

edd - why not build your own loom from scratch to suit your setup

[Edd]

Si, got the car loom sorted now, spent a few hours last night doing it.

Irmscher injection loom will need lengthening tho.

[stupot89]

still no pics of wheels on car :(


p.s keep up the good work

[dj_wudgey]

looks fooking lush this matey!!!

[scott.parker]

Just skimmed through it all Edd, looks amazing, glad to see your enthusiasm is in it, and this will be better then that "mint" SR wink..

Keep it up mate.

Scott

[Edd]

Cheers Scott, yeah deffo better than the SR

Iv been busy doing lots more to it will put some pics up over the weekend

Picked up the 1300 turbo engine as well

Edd

[craig green]

Yeah pics Mofo!

[scott.parker]

I must say im very intrigued by this 1300 turbo engine route your taking, i can imagine it's not going to be to the tastes of sport "purists" but a new twist on what once seamed a rare thing (as in a nova sport restored on T40's etc) as i remember seeing none for years at the shows, and now there getting like nova's with XE's so i guess the 1300 turbo will come into it's own there, i can see the puzzled looks on the faces now! lol

Good luck dude, look forward to seeing updates.

Scott

[Edd]

Need to take some mo fo lol

Could do with swapping the rear shelf supports with you when I'm off next :thumb:

[craig green]

Edd might agree, but it's nothing that's irreversible.
For all the negative commebts it might provoke, some 40's 'could' go on & it be made standard, though isnt a Pierburg 'standard'?




Could do with swapping the rear shelf supports with you when I'm off next :thumb:

No worries. You've got some other supports for me yeah?

Scottjust want it to stand out from the rest of the Sports tbh, think the wheels will go along way in doing that, plus the turbo engine is something rare and unique as well.

[scott.parker]

No worries. You've got some other supports for me yeah?

I guess we've all been around long enough to appreciate the standard restored form, but i can vouch that it is just plain boring and i know i can not leave any car alone that i have, in some form or way i change them! lol

[Edd]

I do agree, however I don't think it will ever have 40's on it tbh, don't know enough about them set wise for me to have a set, plus I think that will the turbo engine 130bhp is achievable, something only mega bucks will make happen with carbs.

Yep found the other shelf supports in the loft the other day for you.

[Plug]

you want it to stand out :) delta kit it is then haha

[Edd]

Mk2 wide arch kit, roof scoop, neons, bee sting, m3 mirrors are all on the list as well lol lol lol

Southie, no tyres yet, going for the Pirelli's but there well dear so MAYBE when i get paid

Only a few pics of what been happening; still cant find my camera so phone again :roll:

Engine bay; fitted the throttle body, painted the tps with u-pol mid gray, new 'stat, seal, new genuine water pump and seal, top rad hose on, fitted refurbed metal cam belt covers, new alternator with new bushes and air intake pipe

Pics;

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/0c4ad217.jpg

trial fitted my refurbed AFM, still got to finish off the bracket for it as the one the came with the filter required holes being drilled in the inner wing, and thats a no no

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/be0ccbd3.jpg

Interior; dash in, ePas column fitted, found a mint carpet set with no center console holes in fitted that, spent about four hours sorted the cage today, all in and bolted down

Couple pics;

Dont seem like much progress but iv been in my garage for hours lol

Wont have time to do any more for a week now :(

Edd

[bakerznova]

good work mate
will be looking out for more progress
:thumb:

[Southie]

Loving it, nice progress as ever Edd :)

The tyres can wait a little I suppose lol

[Plug]

Looking good mate :thumb: :)

Bout time we got some pictures haha

[ben doodar]

Looks ace edd. Top work that man. Looks so fressshhh!

[comptoncj]

looks good mate, top quality work going on there :)

[Edd]

Cheers for the comments everybody, glad everyone is liking it so far

[Joe Richardson]

looking good Edd :thumb:

[Andy]

That engine looks sh1t hot in there edd,loving it

[Benn]

Dude looks great.

[Nova_Tek]

Engine looks gorgeous, loving it.

[SRimon]

What AFM does it run Edd?

TIDY work!

[scott.parker]

Nice update, and i love the fact you found a "mint carpet with no console holes" then cut it to fit round the cage! love it... lol

And again engine looks spot on, where you thinking of mounting the afm?
looking in there the most easy place would be to the top mount bolt etc, but would look gash, so the other discreet option is under one of the engine mount nuts..

Scott

[Edd]

Si, Irmscher injection uses alot of 18e parts, mk1 astra gte etc, afm is the same.

Scott, did think that lol done a tidy job though, iv made a bracket up to mount the afm, it will use one on the wing bolts, might look a bit strange, but will only be like that until the turbo engine is ready.

[scott.parker]

Wing bolt is a good idea mate.

[sport]

Lookin good Edd.

Whats your plans for the exterior you still going for plough, window surrounds, the bigger mirrors and SR rear spoiler?

[Edd]

Exterior plans have changed lol

Sr rear spoiler is on, got a Zender front spoiler to pick up that will go on, small mirrors, and no surrounds, I quickly realised that the surrounds, large mirrors would look out of place.

I have the wheels in my avatar to go on as well.

[sport]

Sounds good, was nearly going the zender front spoiler route aswell but changed my plans at the last moment.

Your wheel thread has also made me change my mind on my RFX`s lol

[vaughanmc]

Looking good Edd, going to be one trick Sport when it's done :)

[John]

[SRimon]

Gonna look ace Edd!

[craig green]

Nice update Ted. Does the glovebox go in with the cage fitted?

[Edd]

Dunno hope so lol took ages putting the cage in :(

Looks ok I think I'll see next time I'm working on it

[Novasport]

Should go in, whether it open or not is a different matter lol
No, I am sure it will be fine.

Looking good so far, you are doing it justice

[Edd]

Looking good so far, you are doing it justice

Cheers Rich and I'm glad you think so :thumb:

[novalovingned]

Still looking good, looks like everything has been done to a very high standard :)

[SR-Rally]

What cage is it? I've never had problem with gloveboxs in mk1 or mk2 dashs although did have to remove them to fit the cages at first.

[Royston]

All coming together Edd.;)


I was planning to powdercoat my Irmscher Injection manifold Black for the SR to br different but someone has beaten me to in:( ..............lol

Have to got caught up with Rory yet (XE Manta)

[Edd]

Have to got caught up with Rory yet (XE Manta)

I havnt yet Royston, could you please pm me Rory's number as it was on my old phone :( :thumb:

[Edd]

Really need to find the remain new window seal for the front doors, I have managed to source 3 but still need 5 bits

Apart from Vauxhall, (all nls) does anyone know where I might be able to get them from ?

Was hoping for gm stuff really

[Connor]

Irmsher inlet looks ever so :wisewood:

This car is going to a showstopper once done
Keep up the good work Edd :thumb:

[dj_wudgey]

thanks christ we got some pictures eh lol and it looks the bomb matey! the engine looks the sh*t with the injection system on there!!

[MattBrown]

As always edd, looks awesome!

What's that yellowing near the chassis engine mount?

Trust it just wipes off lol

[Graeme]

Any pics or gen how you put the cage 'feet' under the barpet Edd, did you use shallow head bolts and then just trim the carpet over them?

[Edd]

I just used the bolts that came with the cage and trimmed down the underlay so the carpet wouldn't be raised then cut the carpet round the legs.

Matt, cheers and that stuff on the mount is some sort of cavity wax that Rich put on there, think I'll remove it when I clean the bay after it's altogether in there.

[Graeme]

Cheers Edd, I completely for got there is underlay under the carpet

[Edd]

Been building up my fuel pump, little unsure of the wiring tho

Pic;

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/4a67722e.jpg

Pretty sure the red wire goes to the feed from the irmscher injection loom, but not sure about the black ?? Earth ??

[Plug]

yea a pump needs a live feed and an earth :thumb:

[scott.parker]

Im really starting to like the fact that this Sport is going to be somewhat modified from the normal restore jobs, it will defiantly stand out mate..

Scott

[craig green]

Is there a relay from the injection loom? The +ve should feed from that & obviosly earth out the Black wire somewhere local to the pump.

[Edd]

There is but the feed don't come from there as you would expect, it comes straight from the main plug for the ecu

[craig green]

Yeah it's probably looped back in the loom from the relay to the main plug. I'm pretty sure the engines I've played with have been the same.

That black wire needs a nice big ring terminal putting on it & make sure the wire you use to run the length of the car for the +ve is equally as phat as the wires on the pump.

[Edd]

Will do, was thinking of running the earth wire round to where the main car loom is earthed on the rear panel, is that going to be too long a wire ?

Would like to get this sorted before the F1 tomorrow lol

[Novasport]

How did yo get the EPAS to fit so well? Any pics of you fitting it and di you have to mod much?

[Edd]

About 6 hours, loads of swearing and cigarettes lol lol lol

Had to remove the lower column mount with a spot weld drill, glad i did as there was quite a bit of rust under there :( weld the nova columns top mount bracket to the epas column, and make a lower bracket and basically lots fiddling.

I'll get some better pics next time I'm working on it.
