Hope these work

sweet. what bhp you get out of that? 230+?

[Lee H]

Engine is standard so should be 204bhp. Can't drive it until I get the exhaust joined up on Tuesday. Can't wait!!

[Dave]

are you still running drums on the back?? can't tell properly from the pic

[Dicko]

id say he was by looking at the angle of the light refllecting of whatever it is behind that back wheel ;)

im guessing its a brake drum spray with grey/silver paint?

[techie]

Sweet Lee. Just to think it used to be this little lot......

....that sat in your engine bay :)

I think I may have changed my mind about that duel at Santa Pod now, you've cheated :P

[Lee H]

Yep rear drums are painted silver. Got rear discs to do conversion, thats the next job. :wink:

[Dave]

would be a bit scary a 2.0 turbo with standard nova rear brake set up!

[Ben (lurk75)]

not as scary as rear discs!!!! Yikes!!!!!!!!

[techie]

Unless set up properly with the correct amount of bias rear discs can be a bit of a handfull...ask Breeny :)

Especially if your carrying very little weight in the rear.

[TUBZGSXR]

wow! nice one bet ya carnt wait to giv it a blast! let us know wot its like asap!
tubs

[Dave_Hay]

i also have standard rear drums as seen above... you don't need rear disks on a nova.....

[Ste_Nova]

i went out in ians with rear disks racing ged..... we allmost crashed on one round about..... if u want rear disks then fit abs

[Rick Draper]

If you have rear disks you have to learn how to drive correctly! And have some decent brakes on the front and not just the astra gte 16 valve ones. Looking good Lee, unlike mine :x Rick

[Ste_Nova]

whats wrong with urs rick??? and what was wrong with ians micky?

[Rick Draper]

Head is coming off in a week or so as one of the oil gallerys behind the exhaust studs has been fractured and there is a slight oil leak from it, nowt major but its pissing me off. Also i want a different turbo for it, something like robs and i want to take his old phase chips off his hands! O and the fucking intercooler has not arrived yet, that and i need to find a F28 to fit. Rick

[Breeny]

I can get my back end to swing right round, have to correct it rather sharpish otherwise i would lose it i'm certain... Ask anyone who's been in my car... you certainly need a brake bias valve if your only running 16v on the front, if you have bigger it probably decreases the problem slightly but still...

I think mines got green stuff pads all round though aswell so that might be the problem?

Don't worry Rick... there are plenty of people in the same situation :roll:

Next car i want its gonna be standard, can't be arsed with all this mucking about anymore! :o

[Rick Draper]

Tell me about it Breeny, i would sell mine tomorrow if i cud sort the cash out for a Civic type R, a Focus RS or a Escort Cossie! I got in mine yesterday after working from 5 in the morning till 7 at night for 2 days on the run and if would not start :evil: my first urge was to set fire to it in the car park then i thought lets kitck it but decided that would cost more money so i decided i had better fix it, it was the smallest of problems but it wound me right up.

Its all the waiting for other people to do the jobs for you like waiting for my intercooler to be built, waiting for the F28 mount to turn up and other stuff that just pisses me off. O and the cost! :roll:

Rick

[Ste_Nova]
