As part of getting me valver back on the road I wanna build a new install for it, already got an Alpine 7876RB HU and alpine 6*9s in a stealth shelf but not sure what to partner them up with. I want serious bass as I listern to a lot of Rock and Drum N Bass, really like the JL Audio stuff...
Just wondered if the guy I raced down the Eastern Road in Portsmouth today was anyone off here?
Not sure what engine size it was, new shape and just said 16v on the side but he caught me off guard from the lights but as soon as we were moving it was level all the way to 80mph till we backed...
Was drving down the motorway yesterday when my valver started jumping out of 5th, would go back in at first but in the end I ended up driving in 4th all the way home, then just as I was getting close to home, mile or less, it started making a horrible scrapping noise, like metal grinding on...
I want to upgrade my front speakers (standard at the mo) but Im not sure whats best to go for in terms of sound quality, I couldnt give a toss about looks/name I just want it to sound the dogs danglies.
I take it a decent set of components is the best way to go, but where do I put the...
Was out last night just cruising around when some bloke and his bird in a 1.6 Orion wanted to try it on, lol.
So I just followed them round all the roundabouts, twisties, etc, etc they wanted to go down, just hanging off there back and drawing level on the dual carrage way bits, the guy...

This morning I let my former best mate have a go in my Valver, just a quick blast round the block and as fate would have it, he stuffed it into a f**k off big kerb and bent the front LHS subframe. Lucky for him it wasnt really his fault (diesel on road and getting cut up by some t**t in a Nova)...

Nick,
Just thought Id list what Im planning to due to the lump Im rebuilding if you wanted some insperation. Im starting with a 1.8l block as theyre easy to come by and if you wanted you could get away with not telling the DVLA youve changed capacity, just the engine number.
Get block...

Is it true the Vauxhall Calibra was once the most aerodynamic (lowest drag) production car avaliable? I dont believe it but does any one else know different?

Joe,
The progressive your working on, is it gonna be time based or rpm based? If its rpm based what do you propse to do about wheel spin, if you spin your wheels the revs rise and so would the N2O thus agrivating the problem. I plan to get one of the Omex Traction Control systems eventually...

Found this article about how to calulate transmission loss on any car, seems to work pretty well too.
The 1.8 Vauxhall Astra GTE (new shape from 1985 on) has a frontal area of 20.5 sq feet and a Cd of 0.31. With two people and some test equipment on board (which is how most reputable...

The F7P has 30mm inlets, the F7R 32mm and the F4R 35mm if Im not mistaken. I know its possible to put 32mm valves into the F7P head as its the same head the F7R uses. BUT would it be possible to fit F4R inlet valves into the F7P/R head??? BenR, Slarty?
Cheers, Simon
