havent ever done a project thread on here before. mostly just read and not post up.
anyway i have had this car for quite a few years now. since about 2005 it has been a c20let. i will post up sort of the last couple of years updates in one.
used to have 200sx manifold and a cheap and cheerful ebay turbo which was alright indeed for the money. it lasted about 5-6k miles.
randomly one day just snapped the end off the shaft while driving home from tesco's so decided it was time to change some stuff around.
was missing a bit of sideskirt since its crash so got some 2nd hand ones and got busy with the rattle cans
got some 2nd hand gaz coilovers and a white line rear anti roll bar
really did handle a bit better. could feel difference.
had pic in total vauxhall from when wont the shootouts. great stuff and a handsome looking chap indeed.
drove it about in the ice and snow for a bit over winter. it managed to get up hills that a lot of other cars couldnt. suprising really. then started getting some other bits to do things with in the coming months.
i was led to believe they were as well. Ring gear was close to coming off. 2 different materials heating and cooling at different rates really. Over time just worked its way slack. Replacement is machined 1 piece so a lot better although a couple kg heavier.
I am amazed by what you have done and if thats only a shortened progress thread i dread the full one ahaa. Pleasure reading that pal, you have given me some much needed motivation i no longer need to buy some off ebay ahaa. I was reading the little write up in total vauxhall magazine last night funny enough, this is throwing out over 400 bhp aint it iirc.
By the way where did you get the grey exhaust heat wrap from, im after grey one but can only seem to find natural, white and black ??
