the breathing is done via the oil tank in most cases.

I was at the unit yesterday deciding what to powder coat, theres alot to be done and I'm going for a boring colour just to be safe.

powder coat list so far:

subframe
anti roll bars
engine mount
gearbox mounts(s)
topmount covers
camcover
steering arms (i think)

Loving the look of this build, tempted to drop my engine or a vxr engine into a corsa c when the nova gets broken up.

Do you have any pictures of the front ledas? Did they just mod your old corsa b ones to fit the corsa c or did they make you a new set?

It was cause iirc they had been told to leave it there as it can act as a breather, even though the dry sump setup works under vacuum. I have seen them done both ways and both have been fine.
