will you be looking at getting more power out of it when you fit the box and fly in the winter?

Benn, tap the threaded bits out of the standard top mounts then weld nuts to the standard mounts.
Will get you pics tomorrow to show you how i mean if you want?
Yeah please. I know you have to do something to the rear one but no real clue what.
I think Rick might be talking about your top mounts Benn. If you're talking about which holes to tap on the f28...

Benn - Just a thought but the vents might not be as effective if they are flush fitted. One reason for this could be that when in motion the pressure on the bonnet is relatively high. If the pressure is higher than the pressure on the underside of the bonnet (likely) then the air wont flow out of the bonnet regardless of it being less dense. From what i've seen most automotive vents have a protective shield on the windward side and let the air exhaust towards the back which will be a much lower pressure. So if heat is a primary concern then it would be something to consider. I have been looking into fitting something over the winter after feeling the temp of the bonnet after a good thrash. Im looking at the Pulsar GTiR vents in carbon at the moment.
You'll want more power once the F28's in!
£50 for some ph2 chips off Beardy and away ya go!!

Ah cheers for the pic.. Altho i have a mount bolted to those holes already so i might be ok.
Tbh the vent would be for looks more.. As they'll match the wing vents. But being face down (pressed in) they do let air in, so they should* let cooler air in to the bay.. But my inlet temps arnt too bad (from the Rolling road day) so i'm not to worried at the mo.Quote:

yeah the chips from beardy good copies. he used the original eds chips also does evo 5 etc
i ve had a set for 2-3 years no problem
Right Benn been looking at my standard top mounts and it would be easy. The studs will knock out of them easily then either tack new longer bolts in with thread pointing up or tack a nut on the underside and then put the bolts through from above. Simples.Quote:

i have a bloke letting me no weather he can get some tomorrow, if not i will get some made !!!
Wish I was more mechanically minded then I'd understand your wip more. Anymore more photoshops needed lol
:)

Yep.
THANKS BENN I WILL SEND OVER SOME CHEEKY QUESTIONS lol
the vents would look cool as fook matey!!
Cool cool Grant,
Wudgey, i'm thinking that, but have a friend saying it might look to messy with the vents, i don't want that. So i'm not sure now...
I'd just like to say you have IMO the best nova ive ever seen.
Vents are tricky, i wasn't sure about sticking some on mine but overall i'm happy with them. Personally i'd go for it.:thumb:Quote:

Will do Jeff,
Cheers Let nova.
Here's my thoughts........ Benn has louvred wings so to louvre the bonnet too could possibly look like overkill with a fully louvred front end! And its the very reason I didnt have the wings louvred on the red one. when it comes to novas we all know subtlety is crucial. Benn if you have a spare bonnet kicking round Id have it done then you can always swap back and or sell making your money back in the process. Once you get up to the stage your at fella it does become hard to find new ideas and keep bettering the car but sometimes they are just best left alone. Andy bishop/Karl rowntree cars havent changed for years really but still look two of the very best out there if you see my point etc! ;)Quote:

I can see what Nicks saying. If you're not careful you could cross the line from subtle to modified if you know what i mean.
Yeah i do, hence why i wanted the PS..
So being not one to shy away with my car, i'm happy to show the bad bits with the good.
So i spotted this,
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...0on/Roof12.jpg
Thinking it was dirt or something in the blue base coat i never thought much about it, till i thought its getting bigger.. Then i started to keep an eye on it. Its not got any bigger, but a smaller 2nd one popped up. Time to check it out..
Gave it a gently tap with my key and found it pushed thru.. Bugger!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...0on/Roof10.jpg
Still its only about 1mm x 1mm so now bad, now its right next to the sunroof, so i know what's happened trapped water and all tho. Talk to the bodyshop and doing, Keith said best to hit it and do it right, dont wanna cover it up ad it come back.
So remove the head lining *eek!!* Drop the sunroof cassette *bigger eek!* clean and sael in the the under said and repair the top.
So i thought to this afternoon lets just crack on as i was missing Combe.
Dived in..
Worse one.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...0on/Roof18.jpg
Not as bad.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...0on/Roof14.jpg
Next was stripping the insides.. Not a fun job. But did it slowly and took alot!! of care.
Got this out with out to much hard work
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...0on/Roof15.jpg
Leaving me with this.. (yes before some one says it the reds still red, didn't see the point of painting that as its never seen)
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...20on/Roof4.jpg
Then found the rust is under the bracing that the sunroof bolts on too...
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...20on/Roof7.jpg
Looks worse than it is, dragged a screw driver over it and its mostly flaking paint. Got a wire brust in there and gave it a good clean, then slapppped rusting killing gel all over it. I'm guessing its all from where the sunroof is fitted..
While it was doing it's work i pulled all the leather out as i dont want it getting damaged or marked.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...%20on/Roof.jpg
Then moved back to the roof its self. Had a ripple in it for ages, perfect time to sort it out..
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...0on/Roof17.jpg
You can see it it the reflection of the boot..
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...20on/Roof3.jpg
Noticed a small one the other side.. Same thing in the reflection..
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...20on/Roof8.jpg
Masked up the hole.. Them charity bags do come in handy!
Nice satin roof too..lol
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...20on/Roof9.jpg
Gonna do more sanding to moz and fix the dents. Then off to the bodyshop on Friday to fix the hole, paint on Sat i hope.
Love this car mate, nice to see your killing the rust, bit unusual to have rust on the roof though isnt it lol.
When do you think it will be all painted then ?
thats not good mate but im sure you will sort it out in no time..
I have seen it before, but not on a Vauxhall. As the way the water drains are made it keeps it away from the metal.Quote:
