hid pics please :-) day and night
Will get some tonight mate.
Unfourtunately i have no "before" comparison pics as i forgot to take any before i removed the old bulbs etc.
Tried get some pics, not the best though. They wouldn't turn out too well without using the flash
Normal side lights

As you can see the light output from them is really clean, and a blue-ish white.
There 6000k bulbs.
:)
Look nice and white.
Yup :D
HID's on a nova look awsome! I think i may indulge :P
Do it :)
should of done a step by step guide for the artical's...
never mind eh..
they do look good, planning on some for the corsa adventually lol
Its so straight forward theres really no need for a how to.
Everything plugs in, and then just mount the ballast boxes, and bolt the live 12v to the batt.
would this be adding weight to a Nova? lol
as i would like better headlights for when i'm out for a blast at night...
Probably about a kg yep lol
That 1kg is well worth it..
wow They are bright!!! ......... Adam you have pm :)
So do you ;)
bit bright aint they ad! lol
yeh there good tyres was what i had on my SR
I was under the impression that unless HID's are fitted into proper headlights then they blinded everyone as they light isnt directed?
If i'm wrong then woohoo, i'll be ordering some for mine...
Ah, I was right then :cry:Quote:

Had a wee accident with the sump, so now need a new one lol lol
List of things to do is getting smaller.
*Clutch for the flat fly(have two brand new kits for a pot fly, so may just keep the pot one on)
*Crank sensor
*Lambda sensor
*Sump
*Sort bottom pully
*Buy mount kit
Should be receiving a new exhaust system next week off Matt GTE. Its a stainless steel 3 silencer Scorpion system. (cant really use the one i have atm as it was made to fit the 4-1, so the 4-1 is useless without the system)
The new system should hopefully be quieter too, which i want.
Not much left then :thumb:
Cams standard for now? Bet your dying to get out in it, have you driven an xe nova before?
when you planning on fitting it adam, + get on msn :p
Rich-Aye, std cams. Pointless fitting cams on std management and pistons as you have to keep them mega mild to avoid the pistons, and any good cams wont run right with the Motronic.
Never driven one, been in a few though, as well as a couple of tb'd xe's.
At the minute, im not expecting to it to seem much quicker than the current engine lol The extra/power torque should help on track though, at higher speeds :)
Baxter-Im wanting do Donny trackday on 9th November iirc, so basically at the latest want it in a few weeks before that date.
Probably mid October time, give me a few weeks from now to sort the last few bits.
Cars mot is due the week after the Donny trackday too, so Donny may be the last time i get to give it a right hammering lol
Have you booked Donny for 9th November? nothing like a target to work to ;)
Get it booked before it gets full :thumb:
Ive not booked it yet mate nope. Its £180 iirc? So quite a bit of cash, which i wont have for a few week yet.
Im hoping it dont get fully booked up before i get booked on it,Lol
plate diff first :D
hi im gareth and i like to run around with my willy out.......
Std f20 diff atm im afraid lolQuote:

lol engine looks good ad , what did you do with the sump , i need a new one aswell got a crack ,
just keep fillin oil up thats all i do lol
I thought the 15nm torque rating for the sump bolts was loose as fook, so put a few extra turns on them with a spanner, ooops lol
Cracked around 3 of the bolt holes, its pissing oil out with the engine sitting, so it would leak like fook with it running lol
Mines a x16xe.Quote:

Never had these problems on the small block i tell thee :p lol
yup... done that many times to XE sumps before too lola
Correct I do have the metal upper inlet but this has been attached to the C16. The wiring I have just acquired and AFM is for the C16. Its only a temporary fix anyway to get it running so I can get the bikecarbs on (when I saved some brass up for the ecu off sbd) :thumb:Quote:

:roll: So adam, is your cheap 20xe power starting to cost more money?
....that would be better spent on smallblock TB's....:pQuote:
