vauxhall bits

[intergraleevo]

hi i have a 1.3SR nova for autograss racing, im looking for a good component supplier that i can use, similar to GSF and eurocarparts, but for vauxhalls. anyone know of a good one with a wide range of bits for sale? i need quite a bit of stuff.

thanks,

u mean engine wise or body wise??/

www.novarally.co.uk
for most spares m8

or

www.sel-imperial.co.uk for body panels

hope that helps

[intergraleevo]

cheers, i checked out nova spares and i got the main screen, but the menu down the right side wont load!!! annoying!
then went to sel-imperial and tried to get catalogues to come up but they wouldnt... am i missing the point?? if you have much luck, please let me know! im after all kinds of bits, couple of engine bits, and suspension parts and braking bits too.... also useful to order some bits mail order in emergency.

thanks for your help thugh, ill give them both a try again soon,

youll probs find most bits on ebay m8, also ya can get bodyparts from www.bodyshopwarehouse.co.uk

or

www.corsacentre.co.uk (maybe .com)

id advise BIG TIME to avoid using novarally (or colon smith to be exact)

motorsportdirect, which has changed names i think to eurorallye.co.uk

www.trackstore.co.uk good for general stuff

STD stuff

www.autovaux.co.uk

and so on

Hi intergraleevo,

I live in trelleck just outside forest of dean on the other side of wye valley.

Let us all know on here when you are racing.

P.S. I have a few 1.4 engine parts spare and a complete set of trim and insides, like windows and that, not seats.

thanks for all your help. ill give all of those a try now. i have used trackstore in the past, also gonna get me some avo's from there next season (if the wallet has got enough in it!)

just got entire front panel from bodyshopwarehouse, first time using them. any previous experience with them? what are they like?

robb, trelleck, yeah i know it! did you go to monmouth comp? i cant remember your nova specifically, ill keep an eye out in monmouth for it. im down there occasionally, look out for a white audi 80 sport, B reg. (yes nearly 20 years old, but still going.... errr except for that radiator im waiting to be delivered!!)

thanks once again,

(too many forums)

Yeah I did go to monmouth comp.

You won't see my nova around monmouth really cos it's parked outside work all day and don't hang around monmouth too much, more to do up Trelleck way with bikes, cars and woods.

I'll keep an eye out for the Audi.

Whereabouts in Forest of Dean are you, you may know someone I do, he drives a 106 XSi in red R735 LGN. Works in the garage next to centre roundabout of Coleford, Mike's autos I think.

Oh and for bits check with Will_F or Ben on here as they are in newport and break Novas, they have loads of bits including shells, motors etc but they deal with GTEs and GSis mainly.

i remember someone having a red 106 XSi..... chandler .... maybe? thought that was an L Plater.
my mate works at Mikes Autos, not the 106XSi bloke though, kiddy learning to drive. I live just outside Coleford, on the way to monmouth. cheers for the contact with GSi and GTE bits, i could always try to sneak a few bits on!
I cant remember anyone from my year living in trelleck. sorry mate! maybe james ????? (little red haired kiddy) used to. who knows.

cheers once again mate,

chris.

[robb]

No his name is Dan with the 106, What's the blokes name you know at Mikes?

Don't know any red haired james's around here, I know Wes Kedward and a few others.

Anyway, small world isnt it?

[intergraleevo]

Karl Davies. Got his test next week. Got a beasty feasty (fiesta 1.1) to put on the road for now i think! Haha! Oh well i can talk I had a 950cc Pug 205 for my first car, moved up to a Ren 19 now its the Sport (Mk1/2 Golf GTi in sheep's clothing)
yes small world. dont know kes. only people i remember from them ways is sam theo, matty stonelake? owen morgan and leigh stiley.

like you say, small world.

you in coleford much at all then? bigger scene than in monmouth, almost everynight you see the usual crowd in the novas, orions, and escorts!!!

That bunch of names was from the year above me at school.

Do you know of Rob at Mike's Autos, got a 2l 16v nova and a rover turbo?

Never been to Coleford for the night scene exept for the festival that was on a while back.

I should come up sometime but my roof isn't up to showing standard. Those bodgers at Mike's were doing a rally nova and cut out all of the sunroof guides etc. leaving me with a hole! got a mint shell for ?70 tho!

I had a 205 for me first car, a 1.1 and was slow so we put an XS carb on it and it did 85-90 in third, went really well!
