you've been busy again with your car! my pile of parts is getting ever larger and running out of storage space, no time to fit anything as to busy fixing cousins first car (corsa c z12xe) new chain done, now got uncles L200 head gasket to do. I need 8 day weeks!
yeah i know the feeling
going to have to have a clean out soon and get rid of the extra partsyou need the vxr carriers and the vxr callipers ,vxr discs 322mm and vxr hoses but i think i might get away with the hoses need to look its also a different banjo bolt size but CS sell a vxr hose kit that comes with them
started cleaning up the calliper after i went out this morning to get the red paint
but during the cleaning of the 1st one the angle grinder set on fire! cheap ass b&q £19 one
some time ago i was given a set of hel brake hoses there a proper fit for the vxr callipers just need to get some m12 x 1mm SS banjos for them
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M12-x-1-0...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4d131a2c12
after looking at the discs more i think im just going to get a new set from Mtec
also called up biggred for a seal kit they dont have the vxr kit on the shelf but the recon they have the parts to make a kit up if i take them down
good thing about that is there in Worcester the same place the crank is getting its work done im due to pop there to drop the clutch and fly wheel off on the 3rd

Great updates again. I have the VXR setup on my Astra. Once warm, they're superb.
Are you going to install the Original tmap sensor from the LSJ engine? I'm about to do the same. If you're looking for a connector... the lambdas from lots of Vauxhalls and Opels have the same one

If he does need them @PowR Remap I have just brought these (I'm guessing they are the same for the vec and Astra) http://bit.ly/1b3unrg
AFAIK the carriers are different on the astras and vectras.....
Only need carriers though, I already have drilled & grooved 308's and Pagid pads waiting to go on ;-)

and to think, VX wanted almost £150 to replace the split CV boot on the VXR @ MOT time.had some fun today
took the passenger side wheel off to have a look at the alarm siren again!
only to find the inner drive shaft gator split not sure how long its been open but it was still full of grease and not much rust

stripped all the parts out the way to get the shaft out oops forgot to drain the gear box oil lol but a good excuse to change the oil
View attachment 43935

View attachment 43936
after cutting the split gator off with scissors i found the clip
View attachment 43937
after releasing the clip with a super large screwdriver the joint dropped off
View attachment 43938
new boot on and put the new grease in the joint
View attachment 43939
tried to find my side cutters to close the clips up but no joy ended up modding a pair of old mole grips
View attachment 43941
View attachment 43940 View attachment 43942

Ah ok. that's probably the same one then. How is your rad holding up? I noticed since I have the big radiator for the cc-system, the coolant temps of the regular system go up when I get off the freeway and drive into town. Probably because the intercooler is blocking the main rad. How is that on yours?
will be selling the 308 ones once the vxr callipers are on and working
vec b and astra g same part there the same caliper on the front Ate 57/25 have a look here

tbh i cant say i have really noticed it get up to 85-90 the stays there but the water in my charge cooler system aint that hot all down to the thermal gasket
no heat transfer from the head to the inlet
Got an idea when that would be?
not very long or you could buy a set of callipers and carriers from the links i posted for silly money
