Knew both of those cars
The astra was built for the lad who had the Nova. Once built the Nova was stripped I think - was very very ropy though bodywise - been on its roof a few times etc and patched up (if they are ones you mean and im thinking of lol)
The nova had a carpetted room in his workshop area!
possibly there was only a bottom end left under the bonnet of the nova
was a white astra gsi
prob same ones
the astra got vauxhall dealer sport style vinyls I think
im not sure! if its 4 or 5, i can only find 5 places if that makes sense, no up or down selection if that makes sense and nothing in 6th so to speak.Quote:

nothing special and dirty cheap. another step closer to the complete though lol
bmx there is a few type 9's at upullit at york. sierra goodness.... omega box is about the same tbh, if a little shorter.
no worries sloth, is the getrag breaks, then ill get a type 9 lol
doubt youll bust a getrag, very similar box to e30 m3 beemers, and the same as the old 525 and 325s
i have heard different things. people said they have been running LETs through them, others say they are week,
i can only try for my self:)
Flywheel on, with ARP's

Clutch also on and aligned.

Glad to see it's still going on, i would of lightened the fly though while you had access to it etc.

@bmw: what setup are you running? XE fly and 2.4 clutch?
T5
.
mayhem, normal xe clutch. this fits yeh?
did you put the extra bearing in the crank?
iirc the center of the clutch plate doesnt fit into the gearboxs shaft.
overhere the use a flat XE flywheel, a 2.4 cih clutchplate and a c20let pressure plate.
i could be wrong in the translation, i dont know the exact part names in english. by pressure plate i mean the big metal part you install last when replacing a clutch setup.
ok, i will try the gearbox on how it is now, and see if its wrong
what car is the 2.4 cih clutch plate, a manta?
and i always thought the LET and XE clutches were the same...
2.4 is a cih engine. there found in many cars, omega A etc.
i'm not sure about clutches.

you need google translate for that one lol but it's a full how-to for a c20xe in a manta B. most of it goes for youre build aswell.
went to the VBOA parts day today and picked up a little bit of sex for the chevette.
5 of these, with 4 new tyres, for 40 quid. steal

all looking good, look really good IMO
its just a ****ing shame they are 4 x 98 not 4 x 100 as i was told.
im slighty annoyed lol
can really see how wide the back axle is now lol
lol he has no other option.. kadett C 1600 or higher rear axles are silly money.
it needs ats classic in 7 and 8x13 though lol
its a tad wide. is just such a bugger about the wheels as the offset was excellent.
they will be alright wont they?
woble bolts ftwQuote:

sure you can get woble nuts to its the colar that moves to enable them to be tightened up not the bolt its self
OOOOO ill have a ganders,
i would need spigot rings as well lol
If they're studs then can you just get another set of holes drilled into the hubs for 4x98?
ok, have a bit of a slow patch atm,
sold the slotmag's got given some 13" ats classics for free. nom
i bought the wrong clutch, so am waiting for some money to buy another, then the engine can go together.
found a guy who makes ally big wing sumps. so might contact him and get him to make me one. 90 quid, which is a bargin.
also after ages of searching everywhere, i have found a set of manta engine mounts so i can use them and bolt in the redtop.
should start to pick up again soon. :D
nice nice fella give me a shout if you ever need a hand you have my number :)
mines going slow at the moment just collecting panels after panels and bits and bobs really lol!
Would be interested to see pics of the quality of ur mates sumps as its something i will need too.
