Following the purchase of the nitrous ive tried my look on several sets of fibreglass doors but not had any luck yet.
Ive got a fibreglass boot lid waiting to be fitted. And also a bonnet will be orderd early new year.

Mint!
one of the best !!!
Seen it on migweb the other day, one hell of a car you have there mate :)
gorgeous car, if u wana sell it let me know
Ok the latest part of the project was finding somewhere to mount the epas ecu and mod. Wasnt as bad as i thought. lots of hiding places behind the corsa dash. Few tie wraps later it was installed. !
Wired it up. really simple tbh. Think there was 2 earths and 3 live wires in total to wire up. Got this all sorted and time to test it. Normally this is where things go pop. BUt first turn of the key and the epas column finally cme to life after 12 months. Sheeeeesh!
And heres where i have to say. ' what a fe cking transformation' The car is now much better to drive. Those tight turns and awkward parking places made simple. The column assist can be alterd by a knob on the dash. Right down turns of the assist. then it increments from there on in. Slightly weird at first. But as you get used to it you realise you can do alot more with the car this way.
i reccomend this mod to anyone running a quick rack and diff. Really worth while project. http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif If anyone requires any info just pm or email me.
Cheers

Cool! Ive got the hydro rack from a Corsa rally car going on mine. 2.2 turns lock to lock. Ive got a really nice 12v pump too. Just need to get the tie rods turned down & make a bracket for the pump to mount it under the bonnet.
Oh & custom hoses too. I'm glad it improves the drive of the car, after driving PAS equipped cars all week the Nova can feel a tad prehistoric.
Ive tried Mark Beesons car too (power steering) & its awesome to have that facility in a Nova.
Some more progress over the weekend. Firstly needed to check oil levels in the gearbox and the engine. Gearbox been seeping a touch of oil, Found its a bit over level. So let some out and seems to have stopped it breathing all over . Engine hasnt lost any oil which is a real good sign. :)
Next i started thinking about NOZ after watching fast and furious 2. Was getting carried away so sorted out me noz kit from under the bed haha. keep it close to home! Anyhow fitted the injectors and other bits today. will sort the rest out over the week.

Got minimax controller / 11lb polished bottle / pressure gauge / all lines to install. and find somewhere for the solenoids.
Also put the bumpers on dzus fasteners and pins to make them easier to remove in emergencys. Oh the joys!
Will update later in the week.
