Right!

New sumps now on the car, manifold to be fitted over the weekend

bump*

Right then time for a Update and quite a change of update aswell, For full story see Post1. Not supercharging now, dropping a z20let in (Modern Vaux 2.0 turbo engine).

Just bought my Coilovers tonight to hold up the extra weight of the engine going in. Got for a bargin of £200. FK Silverlines, Rears are brand new, 1 front shock snapped due to being fitted incorrectly, but i have a replacement shock for this!

Here are a few pics of the Coilovers:






May of sourced the following...
Engine, ECU, BCM, Dash Loom, Engine Loom, Key, Transponder, Turbo, Intercooler, AFM, Pipework, Mounts, Starter motor, Alternator + Wiring for these, Gearbox + Linkage & Mounts, Front shafts, Front hubs and Gearstick and cables.

Up in liverpool, waiting for the guy breaking the astra to get back to me with a good price!

Updates soon as i have something, will maybe have a few pics of car tomorrow with coils on even lower.

Cheers

Right todays update:

I swapped the shocks over from the knackered 1, fitted the rears and obviouly have the springs wond all the way down, going to fit the fronts tomorrow before i goto work will drop the front a lil more then it is now, im thinkin -50mm on the front.

So will update with pictures tomorrow.

whens the engine arriving mate?

when ive sourced 1, might of found whole front end of a Ashtray GSi

dude... think you should change your title on thsi topic until you get the engine babes.

Good luck with it all

why?

progress looks good mate, keep up the work.

If you are putting a Z20let in good luck with it i have much resepect for you, i know its not the most simple of engine to drop in

Why, its happening... Ive started it already. Coilovers here... Will be completely on tomorrow, i wouldnt get coilovers for the fun of it! There to hold the extra engine weight.

Cheers mate.

Yea, but after checking the specs etc, the engines going to be Stage 3/4 like around 275bhp ish


As ive said, might of sourced the whole front end of a Astra GSi. Hopefully my cash will be in the bank this week, IF it isnt this whole plans FUCKED and i need to save alot!

Want it done IF Possible within 3 months so giving myself a nice time to get it done.

LOL - Kyle you change your mind so much!!

Good luck dude!

I know

275bhp? hope you got something to stop them wheels lighting up, as traction will be pap, you having a lsd fitted?

mucho respect having a go i wouldnt know where to start

275/285... Whats wrong with those figures were talking Stage3/4. 200bhp standard.

Will more then likely be running 314mm Vectra-C brakes OR 320mm Hi-Spec 4pots. Had a look at some AP Racings but dont do custom sets.

Yea will morethen likely be running LSD.

i didnt say the figures was un realitic i was pointing out it'll be hard to get power down i would imagine
