Mine fouled the cambelt cover iirc, and the inlet hose would have been all squashed up lol but maybe a bit different with the xe in there.
The outlet pipe (to TB) was at totally the wrong angle to meet the inlet & was too close to the turret.
As said, that was with a Mantzel on my 16XE.

I will have a play! I will cut the outlet on the box and re-position if I have to!
;)
Good luck lol
I want a standard airbox but no chance, been using a cut about corsa one.
That looks alright without the TB on it craig lol Full-time WOT may be the way forward? lol
With the TB on, they were totally mis-aligned. And I can now recall the rear of the cambelt cover was fouling too. But this is Will's 2.0, so I'll shut up.
welcome to the dark side :) you do realise you are now gonna love saloons and see that hatchbacks are inferior

Spent most of today on it and managed to get the following done..
Fitted new Toad Ai606 from Mr Beverly - cheers mate - it all works, just need to wire a relay in to get the C/L to work properly.
Fitted the rear Billies
Fitted new oil pressure sender
Realised alternator wasnt wired up properly, so did that
Fixed temp gauge not working
Will be going back tomorrow to be proven right about that fecking airbox!lol
OK, so today was mainly taken up by trying to get the RCL working! :roll:
But I also managed to get the nova airbox in there - was a nightmare!lol
I was going trim-crazy with the plastic edges - then though f*ck it and cut a chunk out of the wing!:d

Also covered the sharp endges with a rubber seal off a spare XE I have in the garage!;)

Overall I am quite happy with the seats - the drivers bolster isnt as bad as I thought!
Will what's wrong with a cone filter? lol
Nothing - I just wanted to fit an airbox and it became a bit of an obsession!lolQuote:

how did i miss this
Looks great :d
Very nice
I prefer the noise (or lack of) with an air box on.... I am sure it will annoy me in the end and I fit a MASSIVE dustbin-like universal bad boy off ebay though...Quote:

I have a couple of spare Corsa Columns, how hard was it to fit?
Easy - but I did find out the hard way that you need to space the column down about an inch on teh Nova mounts... I found out after I fitted the dash back in! lolQuote:

lol Fancy doing another? :eek:Quote:

What about the wiring side of things?
Can I just say again after having another look at those pics.....Lovely!
Wiring is three wires dude - you need to get a £12 kit from ebay to get around the speed sensor - but this makes teh wiring even easier tbh...
excellent.
Tiny update: RCL finally sorted and alarm is fully functional! YAY!
Also being a chav and fitting a few stereo gubbins...
ran 3 RCA/phono leads - main feed from battery and remote wire to run the amps (just for speakers!)
Got the stereo working too and tidied up the wiring....
Bored? lol
hi mate, i've not forgotten about those pics, i'll send em down tonight.
More PICS More Pics More PICs!!!!!! lol
Nice one mate - I will get some more pics next week - but externally it looks the same!Quote:

Just mincing with the stereo side of things again anyway - so no one would be interested! lol
Just got my amp mounted and wired in and it worked first time - which is shocking as it was covered in dust and been sat for 9 years! And the fact I could remember how to wire one in! :d
Forgotten how poop the acoustics were in a Nova - especially when I have fitted it! ;)
I will get some pics this week though!
Looking very nice mate, the seats match the lighter coloured interior :)
Cheers - no idea what the interior is out of - I expected the door cards etc to be dark brown... could be a mish mash I spose...
Seems to look OK though.
bits in post dude!
good work mate, do those wheels fit on the hubs ok, or is there alot of play between the center of the wheel and the hub?
Legend - thanks dude!Quote:

Today has been spent mainly chavving up the stereo still... It took me a while, but got it all wired up - but it sounds pretty flat really...? Spose its due to the boot not being sealed and isnt an 'enclosure' as such...
Anyway - just need to tidy the wiring now....
