    what about the old mazda 323 turbo 4x4?? surely thats of similar dimensions to a nova?

    Anyhoo, im sure theres a bloody good reason why nobody's seen this done before.

    Its far too much hassle/work/fukking around etc etc just for bragging rights

    Id bet a pound to a picnh of **** itd be fukking rubbish anyway when its finished due to the lack of research and developement gone into it, and the weight of the system alone!

    What engine are you hoping (Dreaming) of using?

    C20LET with toyota celica GT4 running gear on a MK1 Astra. You're looking at a project around that scale to do similar to a nova, even if you use Vauxhall running gear.

    Aye, I think we decided ages ago on one of the other 4x4 threads that it would be an excersise purely in fabrication skills and posing. There definately wouldnt be a handling improvement, most probably more detrimental to the handling, plus added weight ETC. I can only see a benefit in launching on a 1/4 mile running BIG power.

    That on its own eliminates a vauxhall 4wd system

    it woulb be easier to cut and shorten a calibra chassis/floorpan then get a custom prop etc,and then drop a nova shell onto that i would expect you would have to run a very big spec engine to justify all the work though
