depends how far you cooked them, mine regularly fade quite a bit when hammering it but once i boiled the fluid, pedal went to the floor and done nothing coming to a corner, had to drop it into 2nd at 65mph then first at 30 to slow the thing down in time for a tight blind corner! my disks went a...
im all for novas but that coment isnt true ^ plenty TB'd clios with only 240bhp that would nail that round a track, you ever seen a c20let corsa or nova trying to go round a bend?! coilovers or no coilovers they dont handle worth a f**k too nose heavy and far far to much power, even with the...
lol ive got johns old wheels and alans old exhaust!
might end up with 16s on it again soon as im getting a mk1 172 so the 1.2 wont need to handle perfect, it'll just be my wee run arround to get me to work and back!
lol sounds like a chavs dream car, wheelspins without effort! good way to eat driveshafts lol.
mine gives a bit of axel tramp when i go into 2nd when accelerating hard but it doesnt start spinning (doesnt do that with the eagle F1s tho, cant wait to get them back on)
i like novas, my mates got one with a 1600gte engine fully lightned and ballanced, fast road cam and motor bike carbs.
got an astra coupe bonnet, astra coupe front lights, and wide arch kit on it.
hes had it since he was 17 when he bought it standard, hes now 27!!
saw the blue 182 with coilovers cams etc think the guys on here or atleast been on here, has a gdi sticker on the bumper.
black 182 with fancy text reg plate on it, looked a bit weird lol
white 1.2 with some "different" body styling
yellow 1.2 also with "different" body styling
some gay...
yep john back to my dynamique wheels with 4 new Eagle F1 GSD3's 195/45/15
turinis i sold for £200 due to shite tyres (ok tread but shite grip lol) and them not being in the best nick due to a previous owner or someone refubing them quite cheap. still look good tho and a bargain.
sold to...
turinis are sold, just waiting on my wheel spacers coming to get my 15s back on. so heres 1 last pic to wave good buy to them!! look good just dont like 16s!
on the 1.2 16v (i assume thats what you have going by your profile) you simply unbolt the 2 bolts holding the airbox on, lift it off and replace the standard paper air filter with the new panel filter, easy only takes 2 minutes.
different front bumper
15" version of the Mk2 172 alloys
colourcoded rear spoiler
different dials with digital screen for fuel and temp guages
new engine (different inlet manifold, ecu, throttle body) (bit quicker, more torque, less responsive) also has a different cat (doesnt have a flexi to...
1.4 and 1.6 are basically the same engine (apart from the obvious difference lol) so generally any reliability issues or common faults are the same on both cars, so if your thinking about a 1.4 16v i wouldnt bother, just go for the 1.6 16v.
it may only seem like 10bhp difference but the extra...
that guide makes it sound so easy lol, which it is when everythings fine and not seized.
first one i done was a 106 and was fine, last week i done a saxo, NEVER AGAIN lol
