sorry kitten,
and yeah good sills are a must...

when you gonna be driving it?

[spanishfly]

Possibly take it out for a blat tommorrow night, if I get everything on... Need to fit pass seat correctly, and drivers side brakes and wheels! Well doable! Then take it for a spin and test it all out. Next month I start building the XE on TBs

[Beenie]

I dunno what looks sexier your missus in overals or your nova!

that rust on the arch is minor though mate.

But do us all a favor and drop the back down a bit please

[Benn]

did you not buy daz whole lump then?

and cool get on with it..hehe

The pads touch the whole surface area of the grooves in the disc.
Link to the brake kit here

he increased size of the disc provides extra leverage, rotation speed and heat dissipation and as a result the braking system is significantly improved

0ddball had them on his Astra GTE so they must be good for something

It will come down when the car is moved, same as the front. If it don't i'll drop it 10mm.

[TonySR]

Thats not on the sill is it? looks further in, on the chassis rail bit?

[Benn]

no thats the sill.

[rob_lee_1]

passenger disc on the wrong way???


Nova looks awesome tho dude!

[spanishfly]

Doesn't matter what way the grooves run imo. It's there to De-glaze the pad. The amount of 'gas exppelling' it does is questionable imo.

It is actually on the chassis rail btw. However I did jack up using the sill, which gave me enough space to get the jack in


Some pics of the TBs... I wanna say how much appreciate Tony texting me before anyone had ANY knowledge they were for sale Tony you got a passenger ride when ya want


Carbon fibre slagness


ECU-ness

[Drizz]

Done well with my old wheels chap! Looking good. Parcel arrived this week too Cheers for that!

[ANDYRACER]

Im really inspired to finish my valver track car now, cheers Mr Fly

Its coming along really well now, personally i would of kepted the c16se and T40'd it.

Did you have to roll the front lip on the front archs to fit the 50s?

Fancy coming up to Manchester for a mince and to do some welding for me?

[rob_lee_1]

Dont know if it makes a difference but why is the injector holes right up in the trumpets???

Surely they are fine in the inlet manifold right close by the head??

[LongLiveTheNova]

Apparently it produces more torque the higher up the inlet tract they are.

Looking cool Fly, liking the wheel choice
Should be awesome with the tb'd xe in.

[rob_lee_1]

really??? how would the distance the injectors are from the cylinder increase torque??

[LongLiveTheNova]

Perhaps because it has more time to mix with air before it enters the combustion chamber?

Not sure, sure thats what i read somewhere.
