After doing a 5 stud conversion , using saab 900 rear hubs , vectra front hubs
fitted some cav turbo rims , as i got them cheap
sat on saab 900 rims lmao , got the wheels for £ 50 with 4 brand new tyres , so just used the tyres on the cav rims
Looks good, I like it on the saab wheels
as i had the Let engine out of my old blue Ashtray
, thought i would put it in the cav for a laugh
new manifold to replace the RST manifold i was running in the astra
.
started friday at 8pm
Engine now sat in the Cav
as its a late set up the power steering pump was 3 inches away from the compressor inlet of the T3
a trip to the local breakers , found some 90 bends , and managed to get a tidy inlet
its still on the same set up as the astra .... EDS Phase II running 18psi , with VXR injectors
FPR , 70mm downpipe , 38mm external gate , cooler big enough to fit behind the GSI bumper with big mouth cut out lmao
will update with more pics tomorow
after 250 miles of daily use
manifold started blowing from the gasket
took it off and found this
skimmed the face up and new gasket ll was well & back together again
next on the weekend list was F28 swop
the mess i made in 2 hours
good work..how the hell is that boost pipe holding to ur tophat invention with just a jubilee clamp though?

Gearbox has to come out again , as the thrust bearing has collapsed , so cant get any gears
