[vauxhallparts]

if your putting big exhaust system on and lowering it ,it is really tight for space. i got rid of fuel tank and put it in spare wheel well.

[AK_LET]

Dunno whats I'm doing about exhaust, maybe a subtle side exit or an irmscher vecrta letterbox at the back. Don't want it OTT

[vauxhallparts]

side exit is tight for room to. as the seals are quite big.
in the end i run 3'' system that went into a y piece down to twin 2.5'' . one each side. looked good

[Jonny Martin]

I'm looking forward to this one!

Aye, looking for some rear hubs, got week off work now so might go searching scrappers. Bang it all on, got a few other bits laying about. I'll try get it done for next monday, everyone still meet at PC world?

[rudd86]

whats involved in 5 studing an astra van? i.e. what car would you get the legs/hubs from?

looking good though, is it going to be zlet or clet?

I will have to keep my eye on this one lol.

[AK_LET]

I'm using CORSA VXR front brakes (308), the same as a Astra GSI Turbo I believe. I'm using corsa VXR rear brakes on astra SRI rear hubs. (they just bolt off the axel), the rear hubs are the only thing I need. And handbreak cables.

Broke down the other day though, and wont start. Think its the ecu as its apprantly a common fault. So debating wether to just pull the coal burner out now.
