srs1's old valver

[Mike.]

Well heres the reason my white nova isn't going to be a track car anymore. Bought seans old gsi from hendrix earlier this year, plan is to do a complete rebuild, sort out the bodywork which isn't to bad fix the doors which are starting to rust and a full respray. Engine wise its going to be xe might play about with the engine, coilovers, lots of carbon fibre i.e interior panels.

Already started to collect parts i'e wheels but other than that untill the white sri is running the gsi will be taking a back seat which is annoying beyond belief lol because the car needs stripping i'e skits to see how bad it is.

Anyway piccys

andy ( hendrix) delivered the car, one sunday morning, but asusual some thing went wrong as the car came off the trailer it broke andys make shift lower arm bracket, so pushing the car down the driveway was fun lol

[LEWI007]

Very nice looks like a good project. GSi aswell :D

[Mike.]

a red gsi at that something i've wanted for a long time :)

[srs1]

the passenger rear wing was brand new and fitted a few months before i sold it, it also had new doors, new front wings (rolled) and i did some work on the drivers inner splash guard. oh and a new bonnet. i also supplied hendrix with a drivers side new rear quarter.

obviously, i dont know what was transfered to you when you got it

[Mike.]

yeah andy kept the doors sean, the old ones aren't beyond repair tbh mate, there not rotten so al be repairing them :)

[Spudly]

lmfao ace, at one point when it was in my garage it had a bbq in the engine bay, hopefully the next thing in the bay will be a engine :thumb:

[Mike.]

had a rare mince with the nova today , dragged it kicking and screaming from the garage a few weeks ago as am having it welded up very soon, two sills and the o/s/r wheel arch sorted one thing bugged me though when i pushed it out the garage the o/s/f wheel was scrubbing the suspension strut so i wanted to find out why

tyre and strut
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/Photo476.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/Photo477-1.jpg

so some head scratching later i figured it out

look how far back the wheel is
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/Photo475.jpg

and you can see where the drive shaft has been fowling the shell
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/Photo480.jpg

and the problem lyes with the lower suspension arm its bent hence the wheel being too far back in the arch the driveshaft fowling the car and the tyre hitting the shock
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/Photo479.jpg

i then had a mooch round the rest of the car

rear arch or wats left of it

[Mike.]

Humm new bottom arm then mate! lol the rot is worse then my 23yr old mk1... But savable.

in some cases mk1's seam to survive the rust better than mk2's lol, and yeah new arm, think thats from when it fell off the trailor when hendrix delivered it lol

[Ben]

I can remember towing that 100 miles!

[hendrix]

I can remember towing that from seans to mine hahah, think it was late 2005 pmsl. Then shifted it a while ago to Mikes, it wasn't funny when it fell off the trailer, it bloody hurt!!!
Christ its rotted loads since I got it to you though mike!!
btw c20xe loom and ecu etc is here.

[Ben]

When me and Will bought it it was mint, had 15" venoms with brand new yoko's on lol, the chimp who owned it had put 10 litres of oil in it and imploded the engine so we had to fit a new one.

[Stuart]

Is that the one I captin'd round Llandow with WillF as my cabin boy as we giggled like girls at the handling and seemingly deadlyness of it all? :d

[Ben]

No we didnt have it that long, literally fitted the engine then sean picked it up the next week.

[Stuart]

it could have been when Sean owned it.... well he lobbed the keys at me lol

[scott.parker]

Yes it was Stu, thats cus it had Gmax (or something worse) and an XE lol

[srs1]

yes it was the nose diving beast.
in fairness, it did have g-max suspension in it and a xe. lol
not the best combination.

gutted to see how bad it is now. time to cut the crap out quickly mike prior to the rest of it dying

[scott.parker]

Good guess eh!

[Stuart]

yes it was the nose diving beast.
in fairness, it did have g-max suspension in it and a xe. lol
not the best combination.

[hendrix]

So what members on here have owned it then? Ben > Will > Sean > Me > Mike?

[Mike.]

that would be interesting to no tbh, i'm the cars 10th owner according to the v5

[Ben]

Will and I bought it from Basingstoke with it on it's ass with 15" venoms and brand spanking a509's on and 15 litres of oil in the engine lmfao towed it from ****stoke to Newport down the m4 on a fixed bar, swapped the wheels, suspension and removed the ceased engine and fitted another then Sean bought it.

[srs1]

Riggy just said to me about this update.

Wow. Done really well. The car was awsome and your doing really well. Will be nice to see it again. I'll see if I can find my fav pic of this car in its hay day.

The car was bought as a 1.6 originally but after getting wasted by a beemer on m6 a week later a xe was fitted

Thanks sean am finally getting somewhere with it even though it has been along time comming, yeah would be cool iff you could find the pic, didn't chris rebuild this car at one point, am sure there was a old build thread for it?

[Mike.]

Only a small update, today didn't go to plan as the person who was lending me a engine crane let me down, got to wait untill next weekend now, but i built the engine stand anyway and attached the head of the stand to the engine, removed the knakered clutch and flywheel.

The engine was then put on a trolley so i could at least move it around easily

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/P1010600.jpg

and i need help desiding what wheels i should use

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/P1010604.jpg

some 5spoke Dare Rls wheels
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/P1010606.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/P1010605.jpg

am thinking of using the Dare wheels, you guys got any ideas which i should use?

[scorge01]

Dare :thumb:

[srs1]

[Ben]

The dares are a class choice on a nova!

[Mike.]

Car looked ace in that pic sean, and yeah am really thinking of using the Dare wheels they'll suit it better, next thing is what colour lol

[scott.parker]

Classic red and white IMO.

[Mike.]

yeah i've thought that, not a bad combination tbh, also thought gunmetal grey to go with the side skirts

[srs1]

I went with red and blue but only accessories were blue.

I want first dibs if you ever sell this car

[Mike.]

Yeah what like engine hoses, seat belts ect, am still trying to deside what colour wheels and rocker cover lol, and yeah i will keep you in mind mate iff i ever descide to sell

[Liam]

White wheels get my vote, will like something similar to this:

[Connor]

Anthracite to match the skirts gets my vote, white does look mint though.
Example, curts beast... even though his skirts are black lol :roll:

[fossit85]

Gun metal grey gets my vote bud. would look well on your car

That looks like my old cage is it twin braced?

[DuBsZ]

are they team dynamic wheels on that GTE?
Wouldnt mind a pair as that looks the shiz.

[srs1]

I had blue bits all over, door pins, harness's, gear nob, horn ring, rocker cover to engine etc. id go anthracite on wheels. White is nice but a pain to clean.

[Mike.]

still got the door pins on it sean, wheels are going anthractite, same with the rocker cover, but knowing me i'll probably change my mind again.

[Mike.]

not really done alot with the bank holiday, got let down again with the engine crane, so am just going to fit all the trims to the shell gets things shifted out the car and the garage lol

started by fitting the drivers side skirt
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/P1010613.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/P1010610.jpg

then realised i can't because the side repeater wiring needs repairing so my plan of bonding the skirt on went out the window

wiring
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/P1010620.jpg

so i turned my attention to the passenger side

[Mike.]

cleaned up a gsi dash i got off Hendrix, well my girlfriend did lol

looks alot better than the painted one i've got in the car now

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/P1010614.jpg

started collecting interior trims, i'e dash shelves

got one gsi shelf
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/P1010615.jpg

then raided a scrapped nova for other parts i might just have to clean these up and paint them as parts are getting harder to find
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/P1010616.jpg

won some sri sunvisors off ebay, think they'll suit the car alot better than the plan ones
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/P1010619.jpg

also got a front splitter from work its off a toyota of some sort lol
think it might suit the car will need adapting though
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/P1010617.jpg

First time i've seen this, liking it alot. Bar that rear brace, wont do anything on the sturts.

I like the spilter too, part numbers or a model?

[Mike.]

Thanks Benn still plenty to do but it's getting there
The rear brace I bought because it went with the cage and was a very good price.

The splitter is from a 06 plate corolla :)

No harnesses going in this, ordinary seat belts will be fine haha :)
