Right I'm picking up a corsa b in an hour or two, for its epas coloum, the rack also and the servo and brake pedal setup,


just thinking is it worth taking anything else off that could be of use to me on my nova before I scrap it.

im paying scrap value so everything I take off is for free :) haha

Thanks, I think they might do the job on those carbon fibre doors (which currently have no handles or holes to fit any into). If you wanted to just run an angle grinder round the metal and take the handle out complete that would be good as it would give me a useful template to mark out on my doors.

If the bonnets good, sell it on. They are all rusty and people always want them
im assuming it's a PoV spec engine, otherwise a 16v internal pump is also worth keeping

Good point - I guess the rear handles are identical in operation to the fronts, so in that case the rears would be better as they don't have the lock on them.

not a fan of manual ? .. its feedback and feel is superior in my opinion

I was going to keep it non pas but I'm going offset et0 wheels where I reckon I'll have a problem turning the wheel

widening the track ?

try it manual first i reckon, see how it feels.

i suppose it depends on the turn your after too. 4.1 turn manual vs. 2.7 quick

2.7 is pretty damn heavy to turn via manual, even if your schwarzenegger

im not widening the track im getting wheels to fill the arches, im going to use the corsa 2.7 rack with nova track rods. so epas is a must personally
