1.6 16v Nova. Something newer!!
looks really good mate, suited nicely.
brakes look a bit naked now
lee's old wheels i take it? look good neway
Brought to you in assosiation with ...... well nothing

yours looks well nice on the rsgt`s,not sure about the dodgy black one though
i hate the world
Cheers for all your comments, I like the look of the darker wheels with the tints.
looks great mate - get Lee to post up ics of them on his car with the Vectra V6 stoppers on, they'll give better braking and fill those wheels up nicely too
Do you need to change the master cylinder when you Fit V6 brakes?, Im not sure I want that spongy pedal feeling, or is that just a myth?Originally Posted by Brett

No I dont think so having had them on my old astra GTE 16v. Theres no spoungyness, maybe a bit more pedal travel but really never was an issue for me considering how much better the brakes were on a fast road blast.
If your worried, upgrading to a Calibra/Cavalier Turbo master cylinder which has a bigger piston is a straight swap if your car has ABS.
Cheers, It does have ABS yes, do you know if the GSI sensors fit the V6 calipers, Thanks Brett, I might do this upgrade, I only just replaced my master cylinder for a brand new one as thought it could do with it, so i'll hold of on replacing that until I see what their like
They look smart mate.
Here's a pic of mine with V6 brakes,no spongeeness either.
The sensors are on the driveshaft.
The brakes and calipers,are a direct fitment to the strut.
Simple case of unbolting yours,bolting the new ones on.
My master cylinder is fine as well.
You wont beleive the difference tbh,try mine at the next meet
You getting new 17's or 18's Lee?
He mightve meant pad sensors on the calipers?
it's a C20XE not a fookin Redtop FFS
Thats what I thought - but then I thought if they are still there hes about the 2nd car Ive ever seen with them still in one peice!!
16's
Yeah i guess Matt could have meant them,do people actually still use them
mate, you should see how tight the 308mm brake set sits to a 16 inch wheels, Ive had to take all the weights of the insides of my Cally T rims!!
Thats excellent news thanks,The sensors are on the driveshaft.

Forgot that sensors where on the shaft, they are on the end near the caliper aren't they?, or am I thinking of something else? I know the pad sensor wiring is on the outside of the caliper, CheersThe sensors are on the driveshaft.

Your right brett, I havent got any on mine the wires are just twisted together, but I found one on a GSI Im braking so Im just looking for one more! lmao lmao
your braking a GSi? have you got the alarm control unit? Its a silver metal box with a big yellow plug - I think it must mount somewhere near the ECU.
My brother had his GSi stolen in jan and we need one of these as its missing
personally i dislike the wheel, as it looks small and imho doesnt suit the car.
but all that matters is that you like them!
modding is all about personalising

yeah just these arn't mine,but are the same set upThats excellent news thanks,
Yeah my weights came off so had to have outside ones.
Thats ok bud, there should be one on this, I'll have a lOOK today and let you know lateryour braking a GSi? have you got the alarm control unit? Its a silver metal box with a big yellow plug - I think it must mount somewhere near the ECU.

nice one mater
I've got part you want Brett, Am I right in thinking you cant start the car without it?? I took it out, was about to do some work on the car and couldn't start it, replaced it and it started, Or was this just cause I hadn't started the car in ages? I figure you do need it, If thats the case I need to keep it until the engines removed.
