Rite guys me and my mate are currently doin a project together.

We have just bought a redtop, with all loom, ecu, gearbox, all mounts, tank with calibra fuel pump, drivshafts, and full exhaust.

What would you recommend brake wise, and other things needed to finish it off?

Im going to buy new hubs, and possibly new cv joints. Is there anything else we will need?

Cheers people

256mm 16v brakes
or redrilled vectra v6 set up

or 4 pots

dont forget you will need better suspension, and of course, a shell to put it in

this topic has been covered once or twice, have a look at the search

You cant use the calibra driveshafts in a nova as they're too long.

Get the brakes from the donor car if you can (256x24mm ATE jobbies).

CLick the Chris astley link at the top and get the conversion kit for a nova: http://www.chrisastleymotorsport.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=2627&osCsid=669c5f6479af4feaa92dc96563fd87d5

and the CV's to go on the shafts.

Make sure you stitch weld every seam in the engine bay/entire chassis aswell.

ANYWAY????????? The above posts are help.!!!!!!!!!

Also to save Stuart doing this, Text speak is a sin bin offence.

Seriously, use the search facility, there is everything you will ever need to know about a redtop conversion & much much more.

Just get the best stuff you can afford.
