Cost me £170 that did, powdercoating it pink sounds like a bargain to me.

Rad would be better for you too, although I couldn't find the driver's side bracket for it, so it'd be wobbly.

Mark,

do you know anyone that has done a dynamic comression calculation for the 1600 engine?

designing these cams is mind numbing.

Tell me about it, Jo took me kitchen shopping at the weekend I'm forcing myself to carry on with the Nova regardless though, lol.

I can't wait for you to have it sitting in your garage too...then you can help with mine, teeheehee

Still need to sort out a time to meet up so you can speak to the guys about 1.6 tuning. Not enough hours in the day at the moment though

what differences did you find

i think i pref a more stable high speed/under brakeing with a front arb gives you

mine you currant car doesn't handle, then looked under neath, had a smack and the casters out by quite a bit, so will be machining the tie rod down now

what geometry you running?

rears are fixed at about .5 degrees negative
fronts iv adjusted to about the same .5 degrees negative (by eye sight!)

by the looks of it the cars toeing out (havent got the best gauges!) was thinking of setting to toe in slightly, hopefully giving sharper responce on the steering?

just woundered what your setting all yours at?
