Just found and read most of this thread joff. Saw your car at BCCC after spraying, whom also sprayed my nova 16V in arden blue. Anyway you mention Bilstein suspension kit which is fully adjustable without having to go to a nasty rear coilover setup. Where did you get this kit from?
Thanks in advance for reply.
Got it off a lad from Kent who was going to put it on a Rio Verde green nova historically owned by Gary Hope , now owned by Rick Marland (from Oldham).Quote:

Another spot here is selling it for ?860 (I think that will be plus VAT & Del)

Hope this helps - have a dig around on the net and see what you can find or maybe wait a while for one to come up on either the PNG website, Migweb, Corsasport or ebay.

Thanks for reply joff.
I have had a quick look around and found a good price on suspension. The prices you give are for Bilsein B14 PSS (dampers are not adjustable) as apose to B16 PSS9 (adjustable dampers). I am not interested in adjustable dampers only adjustable springs for which I have found a price of ?615 inc vat. Not half bad for what is a fully adjustable ride height suspension with a quality name. see http://www.247ppd.com/product~prodID~922626.htm.
I am going to order these ASAP at this price.:D
P.S. didn't mention earlier but I take my hat off to you for putting so much time and effort into the nova. I hate to think what you say when the insurance company asks you to list any modifications you may have.:eek:
I am just building my nova 2.0 16V not too far away from you and the project has taken me 8 months so far and that seems like forever - never mind two and a half years. :confused:
Try just over 4 years and your near the mark !!!!!Quote:

u no what your doing m8 just got my self a nova the other day very tidy after a year ill be doing the same with my engine bay
joff how do u do all this i wish i could how did u do the head unit hider
Quite easy really, 9 core multi cable, a good soldering iron and some patience!!!! The P series Pioneer head units only need 8 cables to get the face plate to work , but these head units were on sale in 1999/2000 . Unsure how the newer stuff connects but basically the more connections the more soldering required!Quote:

Quick update on events - had the guys from Total Vauxhall round for a photoshoot today.
Did quite a few tracking shots on a dual carriage way just down the road then did some static shots at a local haulage yard about 4 miles up the road.
This is only pic I took - its a bit washed out - I left it to the experts !!!

Aparently due to it being very sunny it was giving them difficulties with light/shade balances so they got out some flash lights !!!!
If the pics come out OK then it will be on the front cover at some point later this year !!
Dan Williamson is doing the write up (ex-Revs) so should be OK !
Watch this space !!!
