had to cut that car up to get cage as the underside was all rotten but going to fit it all to my other one.
cutting the cage out was a nightmare couldnt get the stihl saw in anywhere, so im still left with parts of the car attached to the cage lol. but should hopefully be getting the cage put in my other one on saturday. then the only thing left to do would be engine work

my camera is nackered so i need to get one on the pic side of things.
as for the motor, i got the clutch dirt cheap off a mate, i was going to go big power but changed my mind and just going to get head ported & polished, re-profiled cams and carbs.
i know this isnt the place but i havent got enough priveleges to post in classifieds, but has anyone got hub bearings to fit standard corsa hubs with 2 litre shafts??

If want head porting or reprofiled cams, I can supply both, or any other engine parts stock to race. If it was me id get the standard pistons pocketed atleast that way you can run a half decent cam profile rather than a mild 260dur cam with hardly any lift.
As for bearings be just as cheap goin a motor factors

oh really? ive been quoted 450 plus vat for the headwork at racepower in maidstone which is just under an hour from me an as for the cams i havent got a quote but im in 2 minds about buying a pair or profiling mine. yeah i might look into the pistons.
yeah would a motor factors have bearings for standard hubs and 2 litre shafts?

U2u what that price includes matey, im sure I can do cheaper. Im on my mobile at mo but il link you to some motors iv built or building at moment. If going to the expense def pocket pistons and run a decent cam, gains are alot better, believe me.
As for bearings u tent to have to get the 2ltr hubs machined to fit the normal corsa bearimg.
