Title: Just bought a lovely litle Corsa
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 14 May 2010, 18:58:21
Only done 68,000 miles, sounds so quiet  :y
Booked in for an MOT on Monday so fingers crossed :)
I am wondering if BOSE will go in it? bet it would sound pretty good :D might have a look tomorrow to see if there is the big connector in the footwell... as a 600 (non bose) stereo has gone straight in :y

I have as it happens a Vectra Gearbox and a couple of 3.0 engines lying around ;D
So it maybe on the cards  ;)

Obviously it would not be as fast as Martin's car ::) ;D :P

Apparently a nightmare to do :-?
The engine is so tight within the engine bay that manifolds are rather a pain to do. Also there are some over heating problems when the right sized rad isn't fitted :-[
A little bit of himework needed me thinks...
Now what about a 3.0 engine in the back :o

Was going to suggest this myself.
Well when you were fixing my gearbox, you did say you wanted a project to get your teeth into ?? ::)

Come on you know you want to do the engine in the back route..... even just for the look to see on the face of some young spotty kid in his scooby  ::)

as for the overheating use a rad for a matrix you would be nice and warm ;D ;D ;D ;D :y
on a serious note it can be done me and my mate fitted a 2.0redtop to a nova the alternator was the only problem.burning gear got it to fit :y
plus got proper shafts and the antiroll bar spacers etc kit cost £1200 I think ive still got the manual somwhere.
