Love to see a build thread for it
Doesn't look like the charger is in the same place as bodge-it baxters tho
It aint, its above the exhaust manifold. Theres a few pics in Lee303s Mig thread.
And I thought you'd sold your Nova Adam, for a reliable car lol
HUH? lol
It aint mine and i still own a nova, i think.

I shouldn't have looked at this, I actually wish I'd never bought high comp pistons and went down the charger route. Maybe next time.
Just had a look through the build thread :) very nice
Think I might have to get another mk4 astra now lol
Would be nice to see that set up in a nova, rad would need moving forward and probably a custom slam panel, thinking I need to finish the Sport before I start anything else tho lol
lol, saw this on a link back from mig, not seen baxters thread, any links? the astra came out really well, he’s been been lapping the nurburgring in it today, feels really nice and is just what the car needed, the headline figures are ok, especially with a stock exhaust bar a decat, but the best bit is it has over 150 lb/ft all the way from 2.8krpm to 6.5krpm, which makes it really nice to drive and pretty rapid, i might even get a go tomorrow!
could fit in a nova quite easily i think...
ooh, live from the nurburgring lol
aye its the future, as we've been saying lol small block 1.8.
The astra as a whole is a great example of how its done in my opinion, still wearing its walnut dash is it?
Nice! Soo tempted to do an x18xe1 in a nova still.
dear mr stubbs,
the charger when where it could ONLY go, i did experment fitting it about the manifold but seeing as the novas engine bay is twice as small as the astra, theres no chance, i could not even fit a grill there, let alone a rad, then theres the pulleys, how could i run a multi belt, you cant simple
ill stick with my LS1 omega lol
