View Full Version : whats urs plans for the up coming months
heres my plan;
get the rattling engine out my nova, sort the seam welding out so that the car can take hard driving.(90mm drop ruins cars) re paint the engine bay once seams are sorted. get the inlet and out let on the head matched to the exhuast and inlet manifold as friend will do it for peanuts. cam it and get the carbs,fuel pump and regulator sorted . sort the rear suspension out and door lock, then get a new 4-1 manifold and go have fun with it.
if i going to cam the 1.4 i have do i need to buy the whole kit or can i get just the cam? and whats the better one to use

get the sri head skimmed with my cam kit, new inlet manifold, exhaust manifold rolling road session to tune the carbs. and then source a 1600 bottom end for a rebuild and put it in. what 1400 is it and depends how you want it to drive. get the cam kit it just comes with a load of standard and uprated parts that should be replaced when putting new cam in
its coming from a astra estate, so not sure. gonna use the car most days but not to worried about the useage, a bloke tunes them locally and can normally do it within days of a phone call. so its best to get the whole kit?
