and yes rob, i did remember your thrust washer!!!

[corsakid]

good progress are there any plans for a bigger . better spec engine for the astra?

[lee303]

i think the engine will be the last thing to get any love tbh, its kinda against the ethos of the car, anyone can go fast in a straight line....

[jr@corsasport]

Braveness add's 50bhp anyway

[lee303]

and talent only adds about 10lmao

[Benn]

Looks good dudes.

[Brian_S]

Looks like you had a great weekend! Wish I was there.

Astra looks like great fun now, I miss simples in and out modding. Good work.

[lee303]

we had a few cups of tea in your honour mate, don't worrylmao

[Brian_S]

Glad to hear it! I was worried that you boyz wouldn't hydrate yourselves properly. I was a pirate for the weekend and didn't make it to Torquay, so I was thoroughly bored out of my mind! I stroked a cat and then my eye and had an allergic reaction which meant my eye closed over! lol Arrrrrrrrr So I sat at home bored and sulking! lmao

[lee303]

that sucks mate! i manage to fit a whole weld in cage and not burn myself once, beat that!!

[Giles]

That's such a typical 'Brian' storey. lmao

Oh - what I meant was - 'hope your alright now fella'.

[Brian_S]

lmao It really pissed me off. I was only heading to Torquay to get told off! lol. So a completely wasted weekend, when I need to be getting on with the bloody Manta.

I don't think I could ever weld a cage in and not burn myself. I would definitely get some weld in my ear, I always do! I suspect my ears may be on the large side!

[William]

hi mate

[Brian_S]

Hey due, waasup?

[lee303]

you up there tonight? offer to come to the ace is still on if not...

[Brian_S]

Will be up there tonight. Need to get the engine back in and what-not. Shame as I could really do with some bangers and mash...

[lee303]

lmao denied

[@ndy]

Sorry what's the spec on the Astra?? (I know the engine is standard but brakes, suspension etc??)

[lee303]

there is a thread somewhere, but its gaz coilovers at the front with gaz springs and dampers at the back, whiteline rear arb, brakes i don't know but bigger gm discs i think, and yoke a048s for the track

[GaryVaux]

Astra's looking great! What make is the cage? or was it a custom job?

[William]

Custom Cages

[jonlem]

Cheers for popping up mate !

[William]

you too mate! went abit off topic lol

[lee303]

right,y so, having shown a certain burgundy astra some love the last couple of weekend, and then playing with warrens 1800 yesterday. not had much timew for the nova, so thought i better show it some love..

first job was to remove the seats + harnesses

so i could hoover out all the crap that accumulates, and i wanted to get to the floor fixings more easily so i could fit locknuts, and i have a bit of tidying of the wiring i want to get done too...
then, after catching my leg on it for the 18th time, i trimmed my splitters up turns off

then i just made a list of things i need to do, not much but thats a good thing!!


Brian has got his boot lid, which looks ace imo



he has the side bits but it looks better without, i then tidied the mountain of dust and foam matt has created, fully in the knowledge another will pile up before long!

[spanishfly]

That looks great like that! Really nice boot!

I'll be happy when my list is that size
