im keeping an eye on this as no the car from round near me and would be nice to see it progress
not bad mate will be a nice little project!!!
just torqued up the bolts, it mixed the slightest bit of oil and water so a service and it should be fine, my mate drove his OHC 8V corsa round for a while with it creaming up quite bad, good old strong engines :DOriginally Posted by jimbob-mcgrew
Quick update, just committed to buy a Corsa VXR engine, comes with box, all ancillaries, FULL car loom, clocks, ecu, key fob etc etc. Hence my quest for a cheap scrap shell. hopefully picking it up this weekend. Plan is, get it in and running in a duff shell (so i know what needs to be done) then see about putting it in the nova
Sounds interesting. This is what Chris Astley was on with and then gave up for some reasonOriginally Posted by gunny
Hope it works out for you but may depend which gearbox your running as the new corsa ones (M32iirc) are huge
Chris's build for reference CLICKY
Thanks, is quite scary that Chris packed his up and now im attempting it! hence the want for a scrap shell rather than butchering mine.Originally Posted by NOVABIKECARBED
Plan is im going to try and use an older gearbox? to save having to make mounts and p*ss about with the hydraulic clutch set up, hopefully though, as he is giving me the full car loom (including fuse box etc) wiring it all up shouldnt be too much of a pain in the ****, he says he hasnt cut one wire, just un-plugged and un-clipped it all.
love this car mate wish it was for sale when i bought my mk1
Have you looked into what its going to take with throttle cable etc? As the corsa vxr doesnt have one
