Hello!
I have recently bought a 1986 Nova (called corsa A here) with a C20xe conversion. Trackday car. Bought the car in what was supposed to be working condition. Car is not road legal, so i could not test drive it on the Street properly...
Well to the problem:
It has machined knuckles to use Audi 80 quattro bearings.
Ive been reading about this and it seems the hubs should be machined, they are from a big block kadett, but not machined on this car. I cant ask the seller, because he is not the one that built it.
From what i can figurer out i should machine them to bottom out in the Audi bearing, that means removing about 3 mm from each of the faces on the back of the hub, is this correct? Or is it not necessary? Can i make a 3 mm spacer and put behind the hub instead? That would also give me 3 mm wider Track.
Thanks!
