shocked they weight the same, most bits look noticeably bigger on the f10

can you lighten the casing at all by drilling holes in the bell housing part or removing webbing etc?
with the amount of power going thru it, i'd say leave the gbox castings well alone.
There are a couple of external lugs that might get despatched, but as Mowgli says, I shall probably leave it alone internally.Originally Posted by stt
Off to the paint shop (at last) on Wednesday, details of my colour choice will get a public unveiling here when it's finished.......

Have you thought about finding a lighter engine?
The corsa 1.0 I3 12v is all alumininium and must weigh a good 20-30kg's less than your current one.
granted you've just invested in your current engine but I would look at this engine rather than a x14xe devived one in future
you'll have problems with getting suitable parts but It would be worth it to not be lumped with the cast iron block and 2 valves per cylinder.
in PPC this month, theres a dyhatsui charade with a 1.0 3 cylinder turbo making 250bhp
The 3 cylinder is not an engine ever factory fitted in the Nova, so it's not allowed in the 'Modified Production' Class.

Ahh fair enough.
What about taking the shell to bare metal and just painting it in clear lacquer.... brush finish it first for the delorean look

you can insult me all you like, but i was only answered your suggestion.. which would look good on an all steel car (look up jimmy shines bare nekid pickup truck) but colins car has not got much outer steel left, apart from the roof.
