thanks
well it works took it for a trip up to the jet wash to clean the oil off
its quicker but a lot of vibration must be the flywheel

the inside of my car now smells like bigfoot's dick
drivers door
rear quarter deep in the wheel arch crack
put some extra on the panel so when it is hot it runs down into the sill
fixed the power cable to the amp still
repaired both the quarter trims the top plastic had come away so it got glued with pu18(tiger seal) and replaced the broken trim clips it now fits the car and won't rattle while driving
one half or the recaro rear seats in had to take the whole seat apart to remove the 5th seat belt (coupes are 4 seaters on the log book)
seat lock still working
the old belt

Hello Mikes, I was here on EvoCarlos thread in order to check SharkEyes upgrade, but also I want to upgrade to 308mm front discs, I saw your info... is there a complete info in some thread that I can reviewed in order to do that excellent modification?

2 parts are required for 308 conversion
308mm discs
308mm caliper brackets there normally fitted to astra coupe turbo or astra gsi (uk spec)

EvoCarlos, Matt, Mikes, or any other member of this forum.
I bought yesterday from UK Ebay the caliper brackets conversion but Seller doesn't send directly to México (Almost 60% European Sellers doesn't send products to México), can anyone help me re-sending brackets to México please?
My intention is to pay for the item and Ebay Seller send to your address, after you receive it send it to me using RoyailMail with international signed for feature. Obviously I will pay freight to you.
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Ill do it for you, if you send the money to my paypal to cover the postage?
Its not going to be cheap though I don't think, I sent a watch to Mexico last year and cost £25 Recorded and tracked.
Let me know via PM, don't want to spam the thread.

DIY short shifter
during an earlier convo with Simon Ward i said i would have a look at this as i was removing the center console to change the airbag ecu
some pictures
here is the bought part thats £25 to make your stock stick longer (metal insert only)
and here is mine removed and taken to bits
the cables in the car
stick cut
drilled
tapped to M6
same for the other half
with a bolt that had the head cut off i made to joint and did a test fit
the plastic base was catching so that got cut out to miss the linkage
lock nuts added to the joint on the stick
all rebuilt new grease and back in the car
reverse is a bit close to the plastic base
all gears are selectable and work on the drive will take it for a spin later and test it out
