[Saloony]

Now undergoing a revamp, favouring the mk2 equipment now, just to make it look a bit modern and tart it right up for the 25th birthday bash.

[walshc]

Cool :cool:

Whats under the bonnet? or are the louvers there for looks?
Looks as though youve had a big brake conversion though????

[Saloony]

Yeah heres the party piece
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b204/Keiranova/100_0334.jpg

The only thing changed under the bonnet is the servo and M/C to astra items.
The louvs are fully functional, hence why if i had to drive it in the winter it has gaffer tape covering the underneath. Brakes are 288mm.

[walshc]

Right youre going to have to excuse my ignorence here lol but im a total Vauxhall noob, im a VW geek at heart :tard:
What engine is that? :confused: looks shiney though :D

[Stanley]

Loons rule!

[Saloony]

Peach!!

That lump is the common conversion for the nova, its the legendary 20XE, 2.0l 16v.. Mine has R1 bike carbs mated to it, just to be different.

[General Baxter]

theres a blue 4 door somewhere on here in projects that looks puka lol

[walshc]

Is that the same one in mk2 astra GTE`s? my mum had one when i first passed my test, i had a go and it was amazing hahaha still the best thrilling car ive drove, even though i had a 1.8 20v turbo mk4 polo. Must be insane in a Nova

[Rob]

heres a couple of pics of mine to wet your whistle

im sure someone on here had a 5door with 3door hatch rear arches

also there's a 2door saloon about with the flaired front arch sections on a 2door hatch on the back, with 3door hatch front wings

[Iain]

thats the whole point of euro look is it not?

I thought it was as smooth and low as possible.

All he's saying is the white one looks almost standard bodywork wise apart from the paintwork and smoothed wings and so would be relatively simple to carry out. :thumb: No flared arches etc.

[novacabrio]

my mates salon, sure he wont mind me posting pics

couple more i thought i lost !

[walshc]

Starmags :cool: :thumb:
How much has that been lowered?

[saloonwoody]

its on 60m springs atm but iv got some 100m springs for the rear and its gettin valverd so that will bring the front down a bit more :):):):)

[walshc]

Arent you going to get uprated shocks?
Looks quite low, thought it was more like -80mm

When you say valverd, what one do you mean? im new to vauxhalls hahaha need to learn the lingo here

[saloonwoody]

yea im on the lookout for some different shocks , its the wheels that make it so low i had 15s on it before and it sat a lot higher .
valvered means its gettin a c20xe redtop engine fitted which can be found in mk2 astra 16v , cavaliers and calibras .
hope that helps :)

[saloonwoody]

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l288/xrwood/SP_A0163.jpg
see a bit higher , not much tho !

[saloonwoody]

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l288/xrwood/corsaengine2.jpg

[walshc]

Ahh cool, i`ll be getting coilies for when i get mine :cool: can get them for ?225:D

I had a feeling it was the redtop you meant, my mum had a redtop mk2 Astra, god that was quick :thumb: should be crazy in a nova :cool:

[saloonwoody]

yea been thinkin about coilover i may invest in a set dunno yet ?
yea they do go well in a nova iv had a couple before , cheap to do and not much you can get as quick for the same money .
