While we're on about engine conversions, what happens to the insurance? Does it become a kit car or what? I want one done on mine but it depends on the insurance.

you can either use corsa gsi driveshafts, with standard corsa outer cvs and obviously standard hubs, but you will need 1.6 mk2 cavalier inner cv's (22 spline IIRC)

or the better option is to use chris astleys shafts with his motorsport hubs, that way you can use the 2.0 cav inner and outer CVs, so its much more durable:thumbs_up:

yer thats where im gonna get them from , finding 22 spline drive shafts are hard so gonna buy them new

will i need to buy the hubs aswell as on my corsa there only 1.4 hubs cuz they must have diffrent amount of splines to the 2.0 cav ones

cheers

Bye bye Calibra lump

whys that?

 

[goldsxi]

If you can find me an insurance company that will insure a 17 year old male on his own policy for a 52 plate gold Corsa C with a Calibra turbo engine...go ahead

 

[mmvcorsa129]

i dont think finding 22 spline shafts is that hard considering ive got a set sitting in front of me, if you want them pm me
