I dont evan own a Zed but i gotta laugh at that 106, My friend used to have a 106 1.1 when i had an astra 1.4 he used to take the pi55 out of me in a race untill i put a highly tuned nova GTE engine into my astra then 106gti's were my kinda race after that. Cant really compent because my whole family hate anything french but i hope it gets you through winter pal.

I wanted to get the best out of handling, them redtop engines arnt to good if you want to perfect handling so i went for a light GTE engine and started to tuning, The best thing was it hadnt been done before (i was a member on migweb.co.uk for 4 years amd hadnt seen it done). I got a good suspension setup and 2ltr brakes, Not once did i come close to loosing traction and i did give it as much as i could on the bends. It would beat any lightly modded calibra redtop (non turbo), and mk4 golf gti's for a 1.6 8v that is good going. Oh i got the engine from a friend who bought a nova with 30k miles of a 70 year old dear who had the car from new so the engine was absolutely mint.

What at my post

 

 

yeah sorry mate......... just i tthought it went something like this....

 

the nova engine gsi/gte versions were only really quick cause the car weighted nothing, thats why everyone who wanted them to be quicker droped the red top or turbo in them..

 

u said it had not been done before..... is that cause u have done it the wrong way round matey?

 

 

i dont mean to sound lik i was havin a go but i cant see your logic ;) :confused:

You put a redtop in a nova the handling goes baggy, i know proberly about 10 people that have redtops in novas and corsa's and they couldnt catch me around rivington (bolton country lanes) when i had my astra mk3. One of my mates put a cali turbo engine in a corsa c and that would wheel spin in any gear, it was quite funny watching him on the motorway because it was straight to redline when he put his foot down. He wouldnt dare go fast round country roads as the thing would just come of the road and he had a good suspension setup. MK3 astras weight 900somthing kg and novas are 800odd kg, I know someone who works at a scrappers and he lets us weigh are cars when ever we want so that proves novas arnt much lighter than the mk3 astras. I was a long member on migweb for over 4 years and when asking on there at the time weather anyone had done that kind of engine conversion no one had done it, so i thought about doing something different rather than the easy redtop solution that everyone with, anyways i reckon if you was in that car with me you would agree that it is somthing special, I just remembered when my neighbour had a celica gt-four he couldnt get round the roundabout as quick as i could. The main thing is the car could out handle most things i came across it was also the sleeper look so people didnt expect it.

i surpose .....

 

my s14a was set up for drifting nd with a locked diff i lashed my mates gt4 and mine used to slide threw 1st to fourth no problems..

 

a think driver counts for quite alot these days ;)

Wow what an essay i wrote, i like the s13's aswell as the s14's they are meant to be a good drifters choice but me and drift dont go together so i would just have to cruise round the corners. If i dont end up getting a 300zx only reason being it not fitting in my back driveway i would end up getting an s13 proberly.

I take it both benyon and Mr Ricey Racer never did English language at school then?

 

Can't you be arsed to spell properly?

 

;) :D :smw:

We did a calibra turbo corsa but we also fitted the 4x4 and 6 speed box.

 

runs 12s at the pod all day on 12psi!

Great in a straight line if you can stop the wheel spin, Ive heard of a few people who have converted corsa's to 4x4 and evan a rwd nova looks like fun, The F28 boxes are the best for the turbo engine so much difference between the 6speed and 5speed.

 

@chrisP Sorry about my spelling if a few words are wrong i dont usually have the time to check what i have wrote, would this suite you more pal http://pic3.piczo.com/xmilibeybix/?g=25279596

Yes ... it is better than your English my friend :-)

 

In fact I know Polish emigrants that spell better than you .. then these days what should we really expect.
