Project SOD²

i dont want to open a can of worms,

but i think the design is also crap of the subframe lol.

and to the point of people knowing their stuff. alot of the really knowledgeable people dont/wont post on forums because there is to many monkeys around saying they are wrong.

to be fair, if i was looking at doing a rwd nova, i'd be looking at either a chevette front setup, or a bespoke hotrod one, which is usually based on a HA viva. then the rear end would be whatever i could fit in... like an old alfa irs or similar. or the simps method.

as soon as you start cutting etc
then you enter the IVA/BIVA/SVA or what ever it is. people seem to ignore this and carry on.

martin, a subframe/xmember could easilly be mounted to existing points on the nova chassis... what about the transmission tunnel???

Only if you tell them. Just cutting out rear turrets to install coilovers on the rear of a nova should technically require an IVA, but unless you are doing a proper kit or something that really stands out on the outside that your average layman would notice, then no one will ever bother, or be made to bother about IVA'ing 'radically modified' cars.

the transmission tunnel is not allowed to be cut. it is part of the monocoque etc.

front cross member is another biggie.

and Edd, im not calling my self a monkey but there are alot of people on forums which think they know everything,

i bet there are maybe 10-15 people on here that actually have profesional experiance or a degree in the right areas and know their stuff.

i can think of a few, stuart, jonlem, mk999 - cant think of anymore atm,

your right, its very hard to catch people. but as soon as an engine upgrade is logged on the log book then im sure they could pull in for it. im expecting one on the chevette but i have covered my back on the way i have done things.
