i hope u have some 16v brakeswith decent discs/pads?

[locky]

set of seized sr breaks

with warped disks and no pads left :lol:

aint got round to fitting the 2litres... think i got reason to now

timing was bang on, and needed advancing.

main jets and air correctors were swapped to change the characteristics of it all. i was WELL chuffed.

what mods have you done to it?

[Dicko]

cool :)

do you know if that bonnet is still for sale?

if so i can help with brakes only takes 30mins!!

[Jim]

Excellent. Get rid of the extra weight of them rear seats..space out your ICE a bit and you'll have yourself a quick little car. Get yourself down to the pod and record some times next :)

[mikeoxford]

i shall find out

shes running 125 bhp now. alan and rob said if pushed shed do 130.

im happy with that. ive got about the same amount of torque as dan has got in his beats. ive got 122lbft or whatever it is? i wasnt used to the 29+bhp they found me and from velos on way home was spinning everywhere in wet - THATS just how much they tuned it i was amazed!

and from a head, 40s and camshaft, im well chuffed with that. im running a cr@p gearbox of a cav as well. so once thats sorted, THEN the fun begins :lol: 8) im coming to get you you 1.6 8v boooooooooys

[Tazzy]

what size is your engine, what g/box is it you have?

[mikeoxford]

1.6

and some cr@p gearbox of a cavalier!

hey it got me running :D

2nd and 3rd shits me up its great. 4th is like the standard close ratio 5.

and 5th in my box is useless except on motoroway to get the revs down.

so i need a F13CR box. or a good final drive out of something with a bit more poke.

itll get sorted.........

[locky]

What head is that mike?

[mikeoxford]

b+

the gearbox is really holding me back.

[Tazzy]

what other vaux's did the f13 box come in?

could you ask on the astra forums?

[mikeoxford]

i just need a close ratio one of a nova gte. that would do. and probly even then a difrent final drive. i dont know much about it....... ill research

[CP]

Blimey - some kinda result that. :D

[?Marty?]

It's like going out with a gorgeous girl, and shagging with the lights off.

Get some mirrors on the ceiling and turn them on ! lol

[Dare-devil]

Cool.. It's always nice to get more HP out of a engine.. 8)

[courtenaynova]

eh hem!

As for the brakes....As you know, My Nova was totaled in June this year....then I gave my full set of 16V brakes to Mikey boy and he still ent fitted them. Come on lad, get ya skates on :D

As I said before, I'll even fit em for ya :D :D

You could have had my spare CR box from the SR :D

Rob.



Mooooooooooooooooooooooo

[wisewood]

I would be absolutely gobsmacked if i suddenly had that sorta power handed to me on a plate like that.

nice one mike, but GET THEM BRAKES DONE!
