Engine bay as it sits now

Shell must be quite stiff when the rear wheel lifts up at the same rate as the front when jacking up the front end lol

Shaft removed, the boot had a small rip in it lol

CV removed, joint itself seems fine which is good news!

Not much i can do about it tbh? lol
Meh, fcuk it.
lol
u could re-tack it back on (if you still have it) and either matt black it or coat/cover it (carbon-look) camo/vynal wrap? - can photoshop if u want for u lol
Its currently being pressed into a Stella can or something..... lol lol
ok well.. theres plenty more where they came from
looking good pal love this car!
Cheers mate. :d
Nova is now back on the road. Aint driven it for 2month, fook me it seems quick!! lol Contemplating whether it even needs a let tbh :confused:
Internal shifter is working mint!!! Im just going to have a play with the linkage though because i want to make the stick sit further "forward" in neutral. Ive currently got more "throw" upwards, than down, if you get me.... Ive got all 5 gears though :)
Really want go Combe now!!! :cry: lol
Your not sure it needs a LET? Every nova needs a LET TBH.
Amen! I very much doubt you'd look back Adam.... Keep it simple (phase two etc) and Im sure you would enjoy it. I know I am after countless xe'd novas. let's seem so much quicker!Quote:

Hope the stainless is still in it ...lolQuote:

Nick-Yeah i hear you mate, need to get these damn bodies and ecu sold!!!
Good good!
those t.b's will sell no sweat..
ecu - if its a bargain it will..
small block owners have got best chance of getting it to work..?
ask the new owner to donate his no longer needed firewall to u lol
have you seen what john is selling? lol
let pricing too
wellit took me an hour an half looking through this thread, fair do`s mate uve done a good job on all your cars.
keep it up
Rich-Shut up!!! lol
Yeah ive seen them. Lol
Dave-Yeah mate, the whole setup is most suitable for a 1600/1800 16v tbh, obviously barring the inlet manifold
Cheers Smithy :)
Bit of a non-update lol
Astra now has 6k hid's fitted :cool:
And nova is now sorted and spot on again, re-aligned the linkage and all gears now "feel" mint! So pleased with the internal linkage :)
Sadly i wont be able to test it out at Combe this Saturday, bit gutted about that because the weather forecast is looking spot on too!
As for LET, im going to get the bodies and go-tech on Ebay and see what they go for, and then go from there really....
The mot is due next month too.
Apart from mk1 sr's but i do love this mate get a let in it dude!Quote:

Got it fitted in 15mins, god i love Mk4 astras. Two bolts and the backbox just falls off, none of this ****ting it with a hammer bollox! lol
All on and sorted, fits amazingly well. Credit to John Ashley exhausts tbh! Ive never had a bad fitting Ashley exhaust.

Doesnt look "too" big IMO. Sounds nice too, nice burble on idle, quiet when cruising etc. Doesnt need to be any louder.
That is all.
Looks perfect :)
Looks good.
Cheers :)
Ad, keep hold of that irmy box, i might buy it off you, just need to buy a mk4 first! lol and as for the new one, looks ok mate, could do with seeing a wide angle shot to see it better.
Scott
Will do mate,they fetch good money on Ebay tho!!!!
I'll get a decent pic tomorrow.
Could do with a pro-drive rear splitter now, or a gsi rear
Looks better then the Irmy one IMO
Oh aye! Corsa's ones fetch £130+ daily!! Fecking madness!!!Quote:

Looks good. Tinted rear lights maybe?
nick me that black gas bottle lol
Yeah mate i want some GSi items, but they go for stupid money even though all mk4's after 2002 iirc, have GSi rear lights....Quote:

BAxter-Fook knows whats in it, oxygen i think. Its out the pharmacy round the front of the building.
Bit of an update on the nova. Mot ran out on the 31st May, really couldnt be arsed put it through one lol lol
Then realising how close PV etc is, and this sunday im doing RetroMania with a local club, i decided just ring up my local place and put it in for one.
Dropped it down there at 4pm today, and it passed first time, FLOL lol lol
Awesome stuff!!
MOT tester was a sound guy tbh, but he gave me advisories for "No rear seats/belts", "Non standard race suspension", and "Exhaust system non standard & noisy"
WTF lol lol
But he passed it, so im sound with that. He even did me a little printout off the brake balance machine, with the cars weight etc on. It weighs 883kg, with 1/3 tank of fuel, and the mot tester sitting in it... So must be around the 800 mark with nobody in it, not bad i thought!!!!!
He was amazed how light it was, even with the 2.0 16v in!
So yeah, its on the road for another 12month :cool:
That is all.
All good dude!
Ace mate. Reading that brought a smile to my face.
