red top and let

[sach]

do u have 2 strengthen the chassis when fitting a let or red top in a corsa?

[PaulW]

no as the chassis is stronger than the Nova...

but if its had any bumps & been repaired, might be a giid udea...

or if your planning on silly-silly power!

[sach]

no just my m8 thinks u do, as he just done it on his nova

i remember years a go someone die and killed 2 others after putting a 2.0l in his nova but did not do any strenght the chassis. the car was twisted so badly. the shell pf the car could not take the power of the car. that\'s why i was asking if it was need in a corsa.

that dont suprise me mate.. i no you can sumimes have some traction problemes with novas when you dont strengthen them, its like putting a calibre turbo in, the car just goes all ova the road! how much is the red top costing you?

[sach]

dunno when i do it i doing my self. but i realy want a let not a red top

mine hasnt been strengthened, just new engine mounts, and a support bar welded to the bulkhead to stop the engine \'flexing\' seems strong enough to me
