Anyone know of any good places to get the geometry done?
Pref mids based??

I'm liking the new graphics you've put on it Scott, esp the squares on the front bumper corner.
How you hear bearing noise in a TB'd 2l on solid mounts and no interior I really don't know lol
What kind of noise is it?
Whirring, but inconsistent etc, think it's possibly something to do with my inner CV box side, so going to eliminate that first, then keep going one by one till i find the issue..
Anyway... Billing was ace, here's some pics from there...
Love this one, thanks Bicco.

Then i did this vid today, i put my cam clamp onto the window frame to see if it would work, just too much wind noise! lol

Need a new near side short drive shaft and inner cv, as there is play in, and yes I'm a hoon!
Scott
Cant beat a bit of industrial estate time trials lol lol lol
I'm gonna start charging Lol
lol @ the roaundabout in the vid , there a big one near me thats you can understeer drift round so nice :thumb:
Fook me drive it like you stole it lol
that umbrella gets everywhere!
MASSIVE thanks to Neil this weekend, i popped over to his place and we did some surgery on it, so now it's got some 2nd hand CV's on it, so i now know part of my noise was them being fooked with way to much play in them, and the other thing was my BIG block conversion shaft that had play in, you'll see why from the pic's!
So next to do is replace the other two CV's on other side to get rid of any unwanted play thats in them, but hope that shaft is ok??
Will wait and see..
So off and out it popped..

So this is what 185bhp-153lbft and a quaife diff/paddle clutch and burn outs on the strip do to your shaft's!

Normal side by side with duffed one..

So if my car/set up can do this, i would hate to see the cheep bodge version's some do, and what can happen to them, as IMO i was very lucky not to snap it..
And now i have a short shaft fitted from the infamous Izachunt Drag nova's 2.0 8V turbo set up.
http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/2843/photo0710.jpg
First real test drive show'd no iffy noise, and no loud clang/bang from the slack in shaft/CV's etc..
Feels sweet to drive again, and my confidence in the car is back.
So more to do still, roll on track time once new CV's are on.
Scott
What top bolt are you using on your hub/strut mount?
Fook, wouldn't expect a XE to do that to a shaft. Especially seeing as people use them with 300+ lb/ft of torque
that issachunt powertrain in that red corsa b still?
Iain,there leada coilovers with there own camber bolt setup on,
Ad, yes mate you wouldnt think it but i must be driving hard enough.. lol
Dave, yes the corsa still has the 2.0 8vt in, is being built upto nice track spec.
Interesting pic of those shaft splines, nicely spotted though who knows how long they would have gone before snapping.
What shafts were they out of interest?
lol well the play (EG loud bang) was there on my old nova, so I'm guessing it's just got worse as this one got more abuse, and then CV's started giving up, as there all same stuff from my old one from 2004? And they were part of a cossvuax conversion kit i bought way back on old silky.. There meant to be Rally X big end conversion shafts, eg same as M-tech i guess..
Scott
So found out the guy opposite where i work can do shot blasting, so getting the MO's done for around a 10er.
Got the tyres ripped off today for FREE!
Sat ready in boot for drop off tomorrow.

R888s? Nice :) What colour are the MOs going?
£10! If I bring you some RFX's will he do them for me lol
Iain, 888's yep's part worn, so even better! lol no messing to get them scrubbed in etc.
MO's should be going something appropriate me thinks! lol
Mike, humm, can but try mate, that just to blast though, PCing is £50?
Scott
Sweet where'd you get those? All the ones on eBay went for too much for my liking
Yeah just blasting mate, who I use charge £17 a wheel. Only need 3 more doing like.
If you do want them doing, ill ask, though it SHOT not sand, but he tested an alloy to see, and it bounced off better then steel wheels, less pitted, was quite a surprise to both of us.
Iain, these are ebay's mate.
Fact is track tyres are silly money new, your looking 75 a tyre for them Federals (would try them if i didn't have these) 115 for Kumho's and 110 for 888's new.
If you could please Scott, shot dont bother me, there being painted anyway.
OK mate, I'll see what i can do, if i can sort something, i want 2x lengths of 25mmx25mm/30mm CF angle remember! lol
lol lol I know yeah, ive got so much going on lately I aint had much time to do cock all else lol
How do Scott? My bro and his girl came back from billing telling me about this bright orangey colour nova there that was the same colour as a C20let Corsa i had, turns out it was this :d
They very impressed they were! :thumb::thumb::thumb:
lol Thats quite funny mate, glad some one likes it, some seem to think it's too track modified, as in the looks, but i don't see the point in going half way etc.
So here's the center caps from the MO's.
Bumpers are in vag Delphine grey, caps are BMW graphite, close enough as it is last min thing etc.

Moore pics once they have been powder coated.
Scott
Just laquer them now lol
Don't work mate, they would go manky, and the lacquer would flake off! would diamond cut if i was going show car, that be ace, never seen MO's Diamond faced before! lol
Oooooh when can he do my wheels :)
I need to pay for mine Monday first! lol, then I'll enquirer, as it's a sprayer who i got them done through, it's at his work where they re-furb tractor wheels etc, so not sure how many i can put through him at mates rates, I'll ask.
Scott
If you could please Scott, if its cheaper then £80+vat for the lot Im in lol
How many you doing?
And now the question is, do i get some decals, if so... Blue? Black? or White?
Just 3 fifteen inchers Scott. Might be 4 though lol

Now Ive seen them I'm stuck with what to do?
Put road tyres onto these? Or track tyres?
If i put road tyres on these they will be my show wheels for all round etc, and that would make the Cesaro's track wheels etc..
