Yeah. the sills were done in the same stuff.
When i run the nova the tank build up a vaccum and it makes it well'ard to egt the cap off the tank. SHould i put a breather on the tank of just leave it.
As it is just a vaccum should i put a one way valve in the cap !?!
Got my cesaro wheel into work at the start of the week to give them a full refurb. I think i will be painting the cesaros glasier white and fitting them with yokohama spec 2 tyres (195/50/15)

Started with the worst wheel so the refurbs get easier !
http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/1/912204873.jpg
Got a gsi set of tie bars from a mate a while back so i got them powder blasted
http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/1/912204930.jpg
Will be giving them a nice coat of red befor ehte end of the week.
Got the tie bar brackets spare. They also have been powder blasted, perfect for welding for extra strength if anyone wants them ? I can push the bush out if someone wants them.

also spend ?60 on plugs, leads, dizzy cap and rotor !

The Kosei Sniper 16's look good on the car! Nice work, cesaro's make a good track wheel, light and have good calliper clearance!:thumb:
Been making a very long list of thing todo to the nova tonight. Still so much todo if i wanna get it on the road this month !
http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/1/915425574.jpg
Just posting this to remind me how far the car has come !

:cool:
Nicely done. Wish I was at that stage.
After jonlem said i would hate the noise from the sliders and i know i would also hate the scratching that happes also i have tried to improve the window sliders.
You cant really see in the pics but i put clear stone chip foil on the inside of the window and slider to tighten it all up and to avoid scatching

It makes the slider much tighter in the runners but only time will tell.
Well all being well the track wheels will have a nice coat of white on by tomorrow morning. The new yoko parada 195/50/15 tyres turned up. just waiting on the yellow opel wheel centres ! Pics to follow.
Also treated the car nova to some new indicators as the old ones were sh*te.
http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/1/1613201896.jpg
What to you think of these ?
http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/1/1613201859.jpg
Now, i didnt really pay much attention to the size of these but i wanted to make the car look a little diffrent. If you were to fit them, where would you put them ? I was thinking door edge or back of the rear qtr.
Finally found a bracket to hold the extra filter in the engine bay
DAEWOO PART 96284803

What do ya think ? Nice track wheels ?
Like the alloys very much mate. I've heard the pradas are good, I used to work in a tyre place but I've not driven on a set myself. Treds funky (in a good way)!
Nice wheels, are the centre caps going back on ?
They are mate ! Why do you ask that !?!Quote:

Just wondering if the Vauxhall badge was going on, or Opel for that matter :)
Oh the badge. There will be a opel badge.
Fantastic work youve done there.
Try it without the centre caps completely, our Cesaros look much more rally slag without them :) They're like 6 spoke Compo MOs :) We were gonna grind the lug for the centre cap bolt, but decided to keep it on in case we ever sell them in future.

I'd say they look tougher & more purposefull without. If anything, gay with the caps on.Quote:

more importantly as it's a track car, having centre caps just adds unnecessary obstacles.
should you have to rush in the pits mid session for some reason to whip a wheel off, all you want to be armed with is a 17mm, not fiddling about with a centre cap/ extra unsprung weight aswell.
They would be removed for the track to avoid them flying off and as you say ease of removing wheels. But still have them on at other times.Quote:
