Re: J's Nova Project

OK, so i finished rebuilding the engine, i will upload pics later but for now a quick update.

after doing about 30 miles i relised fuel starvation was a massive factor so now i have installed a swirl pot, i used a redtop pump as the lift pump, got a wicked little pot off ebay. since i installed the pot i have not had any surge at all its awsome.

Been bimbling about and grip or lack of is starting to anoy me now, i started to strip the shafts down get the old diff out and noticed i had bent the Long drive shaft, i have the motorsport "unbreakable" shafts so how i bent it i dont know lol!!!

So i purchased a quiafe lsd and will be fitting this weekend, along with a equal length drive shaft setup, hopfully i will have loads more grip and less torque steer.

I will update all pics of progress ect after i finish the diff
