calibra turbo :thumb:

EDIT: you don't HAVE to use cally turbo, its just the first 5 stud car that came to mind, and they also had XE/LET/V6 engines - so they should be strong enough :)

thanks dude. bit of luck there the hubs that have my 5 stud brakes and that on. ha ha makes things easy. what shafts can i use with them? got an xe lump in my nova going on to these hubs.

Front: Cav / Calibra Turbo or Vectra hubs machined to fit the Nova bearing or (better way) machine the steering knuckles out to accept Group A bearings (same width as Nova bearing, outer diameter 4mm bigger, inner diameter same as Cav / Calibra / Vectra) so theres not much machining to be done to the actual 5 stud hub ... much stronger set up.

Rear: Best to use Cav V6 bits, i used Vectra V6 bits on mine but the discs are a bit on the big side ... same process as doing a normal rear disc conversion.

Totally pointless tbh ... but it does look cool !!

i just want to do something diffrent to the normal speedlines, and that really. and try to cover up the brakes so wouldnt be able to tell its a sleeper
