Iain's 20XE Trackday Nova

aw06 they are the same length. i run corsa bottom arms on my nova. its the chassis width of the corsa that is wider not the running gear.

Excatly.

Was gonna saying going by that pic its just the shape that difference..

Got my eccentric topmounts back after being machined down for slightly more camber/caster adjustment, thanks to Nova Ian.

Also stripped down my steering rack for the Quaife internals:

Poly rack mounts to be reused:

All of it was quite easy, just unbolts. Found the best way to get the pinion out is a pair of mole grips and hammer it up and out:

Ah have wonderd how you take the rack apart...

It's dead easy, just remove the arms, undo the big tension nut, and the pinion comes out after removing a circlip.

You got the bearing back in then! lol

Did you finish painting that fuel tank??!!

Good stuff Iain

Yeah got the bearing back in, I modified the circlips too so they weren't touching the bearing when they rotated. (Remember what I was pointing out to you when I first gave them to you)

Nah fuel tank is half paint strippered, that's one for a rainy day in the garage! lol

have you got a pic of the top mount before the work was carried out? how much did nova ian charge if you dont mind me asking?

bruce

Here's the topmounts before fettling. I think it's about 3mm taken off. It's Ian's mate that did it so PM him for more info!
