According to Babelfish it's ''Opel Corsa GSi Legierungs-Mittekappe'' :tard:
I'll give that a shot mate, cheers :)
Didn't come up with anything on a google search, you could try ''Rad'', which is german for ''wheel''
I'll try that then :)
SCCR coming to a smallblock nova soon ;)
u got hold of lees old unit then?
nice purchase Oli :) let the whining begin.
let me know when we're fitting it :D :thumb:
Everybodys getting fancy boxes :D
it is indeed Lee's old ge****t. He's rebuilding it at the moment, then I'll drive down and give him the dosh.
Olly I'll definately give you a shout when I'm tearing it apart/putting it back together. I've never had a box apart, apart from to fit a quaife ATB :thumb:
ah... well done dude. Gone to a useful home then.
My girl has had hers for ages. :eek:Quote:

glad its gone to a good home, and nice to catch up yesterday mate:thumb:
Sorry I couldn't chat for longer, we'll have to have a proper catch up soon :)
yes mate, you'll have to get your ass up the garage at some point:thumb:
Actually did some work today, with pics!
Cover and bonnet off.
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...v/DSC00720.jpg
This is what needs removing (Box)
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...v/DSC00721.jpg
Get it jacked up and on stands (Gotta love a stiff chassis!)
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...v/DSC00722.jpg
Diff cover off and gearbox oil drained.
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...v/DSC00723.jpg
Then things got oily, so no progress pics. Although i'll paint a mental picture, me on my back under the car with everything undone ready to just slip the box off, give it a yank, it drops and I catch it...but its caught on something....uhoh! this thing is getting heavy...''HELP!!!'', luckily my brother comes out and frees off the linkage which was wedged on the block and it comes out!

Nice clean clutch and lightened flywheel
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...v/DSC00727.jpg
How it was left (although covered up obviously)
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...v/DSC00728.jpg
And my trusted toolkit, £20 from Argos 10years ago
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...v/DSC00729.jpg
Just need to clean the box, remove my old cluster, swap FD's, refit the new cluster, paint the box and refit!
ahhhhhh looks so easy and refreshing working on a baby toy engine lol
It is easy, plus convenient being able to get tools from Argos and the like, instead of having to befriend the local Leyland DAF dealer lol
Nice work Oli.
Still running a pot fly though?
No! Thats a lightened nova flywheel! :D
Oh.
Its just it looks nothing like my flat nova one(which is actually physically flat)
I think it was off a late model nova (can't really remember) I was originally told Nova flywheels didn't fit, but gave this one a go and it did :confused:
Aye, its a 1.6 8v one i have fitted, which is completely flat. Yours looked slightly dished like a pot one.
Mines like this

Are you suggesting I could potentially save some weight :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
So should I get mine turned down more, or get another... will that handle the extra torque/power :confused:
reposted pic for comparison purposes...
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...v/DSC00727.jpg
Yours either takes a larger diameter clutch, or is actually a smaller diameter flywheel. Look at the position of the bolts relative to the outer diameter :confused:
That one in the pic is a 20xe one.
I have a pic of the fly on my 1600 16v on my other pc, will post it later.
But yes, mines totally flat like the xe one in the pic.
Yours is definently a pot fly....
So yes, if you fitted a 1.6 8v flat fly, and got that lightened you could save MORE weight :cool:
Mines not a pot fly though, the clutch sits inside the 'pot' on them, whereas mine is flat faced. It just seems mine is a bit chunky for some reason :(
Is it a gm fly? Or some lightweight billet jobbie?
Here we go, pic from Jacks corsa on migweb.
1.6 8v fly onto 1.6 16v.
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...v/IMGP2552.jpg
Totally flat :cool:
EDIT-Remove the "-" from the link, LOL comes up as a smilie....lol
IIRC Nova gsi/gte are a 200mm clutch everything else is 190mm
Cluster looks top BTW:thumb:
AHA! mine is the same as that but with a chamfer round the edge, thats how its been lightened ;) you can see the width of Jacks flywheel.Quote:

Seems that way from the pics. It would make sense though, seeing as that outer edge is just wasted material.
Aye true.
Bet you got excited then when i mentioned the possibility of more weight saving. lol lol
I actually did :( I'm tempted to have the chamfer turned off now, just leave the ring gear on a narrow section of flywheel and leave the flywheel the current thickness where the clutch mounts, should save some of the weight that you got me excited about!
Whilst on the topic of weight saving, i think i know where you can save a bit more weight....:D
Lies! its not possible!!! :eek: Tell me, Tell me, Tell me :D:D:DQuote:
