I was thinking about a nova z22se. But not sure if it will fit down the side of my house. I need some measurements of the width to see.

Or put a 2.2 supercharged engine in a mk2 astra gte. Now that would be awesome

in know someone with a pretty standard nova I may be able to buy at some point I've got 1st shout when it's for sale if it's not riddled with rust by then. I'd probably prefer a mk2 astra purely as it will fit without bonnet bulges etc

 

[5M1THY]

finding one is another matter

 

[milo]

Love the mk2 gte and wanted to buy this when we were at PVS

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Uhhhhhhh a mk1 astra gte but it would have to be standard for me, couldnt do it to a gte.

[milo]

[5M1THY]

Yeah sorry lol

I did think on doing a z22se mk2 aster Belmont but they are worse than nova's to find a clean one.
cousin had a brand new Belmont back in 1986, 1.6 in flame red with all the toys/kit, sr I think it was? had bbs alloys.
ended up building the red corsa c pill of poop!

I really miss my GTE Champion

 

[corsaZ22se]

I really miss my GTE Champion

do you miss these wheels? look ok now with smaller tyres

 

[corsaZ22se]

been a while since last update, not much has happened apart from finding new boot spoiler and sub frame from 1.7cdti corsa in the breakers. bargin prices too!

 

[corsaZ22se]

also been thinking about fitting the z22se engine but with standard inlet for starters then up grade to bodies at later date?

 

[corsaZ22se]

well I decided that as im not really into track cars as much as I am into sound cars this project is to become a sound car, maybe a wall not sure yet but looking to go past 150bd
most parts are here now so theres a few jobs to do on the other car and work can start. still getting a z22se

why not do a rwd corsa 2.2 ?

 

[corsaZ22se]

why not do a rwd corsa 2.2 ?

to much paper work, vosa checks ect. realy ball ache. change of construction in use and all that once you start cutting the chassis about. 4wd corsa's have been made and a V8 corsa a 5.9L
no room for a charger in a corsa though
this one will have to be twin charged, need the power

 

[evocarlos]

You must change your vehicle tax if you make any changes to your vehicle that will affect the:

• tax class (unless you are changing to a tax class exempt from vehicle tax)
• engine size (cc)
• fuel type
• weight (goods vehicles only)
• number of seats on a bus
• use of the vehicle

so thats just engine size and number of seats to notify and then a valid check to say the weldings good ?

 

[corsaZ22se]

that's just for tax carl, gets a lot more involved if you cut chassis up and change it. (as you need to for rwd/4wd) bolt on part swaps will be covered in mot test and by filling in v5 then sending it to dvla or what ever they call them selves now.
I will stick to fwd for this one

 

[evocarlos]

i have heard the sva test is a killer
