You will need the 5 stud hubs pressed into your carriers etc. What engine are you running? You will probs need big block outer cvs but not sure depends on what engine and box you have in already.

[moffat]

1.2 8v and f10 box, thinking about cav turbos, be a 1.2 for a while do to insurance

[djbrowney]

not possible on small block engine unless you have cut and shut shafts with small block inner big block outer :(

I do have a 5 stud rear axel if need cheers browney

Ive got 1.6 mk4 astra outer cv's on my 5 stud astra van as thats a small block engine with big block hubs so cant he use this set up on his nova?

[djbrowney]

The hubs are not the problem its the drives shafts, the cvs from your mk4 shafts wont fit on a nova shaft.

[mowgli]

i believe it is mk4 astra small block inners, with conversion shafts...

[Edd]

Ask Lewi lol

[valver500]

Maybe it was a bad explanation, the ones i used from a mk4 had small block inner splines and the outer splines that sit in the hub are bigblock size which would enable him to run big block hubs or am i missing something?

[moffat]

i thought mk4 astra aswell

[mowgli]

Ask Lewi lol

he used a pritt stick & some snot

[Edd]

Thought that was the headrest conversion

[mowgli]

no that used jizz & a hammer

[moffat]

back on topic guys meant to be picking cav turbos up tonite, if dont work then a wont buy

[draper]

i dont think anyone has actually tried using the astra set-up so you be the first

[AlexW]

Just to make it simple, Presume you have to cut and shut the shafts, dont buy them on the off chance that the astra stuff might work.

[mowgli]

with a conversion big block shaft set up, they use the astra4 small block inner.... at least, thats what people with corsas have been doing of late

[brainsnova]

buy browneys rear axle and have the fronts a work in progress.

[djbrowney]

Im sure it can be done, if all else fails im sure david dixion could get a set shafts made to fit the right cv's !

[moffat]

just left it and sticking to the speedlines plan lol maybe one day


cheers for all coments and tips. too complicated for me atm

[mowgli]

if you fitted cav 5 stud rear stubs, & some 4-5stud adaptors to the front, if you can get them the right pcd....... they might just fit under the front arches

[bazil]

The PCD adaptors are around 20mm thick, and readily avalible on egay.
