[symes]

[Mr.OmegaMan]

my heads and pistons /rods cost that

yep-i put 2.5 in a corsa-but you want a car that handles--2,2 vxr-its a turbo 4 pot--lighter than v6 by a mile and more power too---

Or fit one of Courtney Motorsports superduperchgarger kits bolts straight onto the desmond

depending on type-most primers not water proof

Put a shorter aux belt on the Bullet. So that should be driveable again

you need a mig estate mate-would have gone straight in

Too many 2.2 estates around , pick of the bunch but 2.2 too small'a engine for mig estate 

get vxr lump in it and thrash 3,2's 

Serek says he can wedge a 3.2 2.6 in vectra b 


Edit 

its acutally got a 3.2 in, you will be able to see it next sunday
 i wont be there as am working, might make the curry.

  Replaced both wish bones, bit of a struggle with the ball joint, and getting that final 15 deg, laying on my back, (is that really needed)   still getting old not as strong as I used to be     Going for a ride now, see if there's any difference.

Finally adjusted the head light aim up a bit. One of those jobs I've bean meaning to do... Every bloody time I got in it at night. "I must remember..." For almost two years

Adjusters all responded as they should. Am I lucky? Never had a problem with them tbh.

Got Baz to finish of the blasting on the Senator Engine Bay, he loves doing these jobs


While i spent time sorting the heater hoses on the 2.4 engine which ill be trial fitting and firing in the next few weeks


Took a while to find the correct U shaped hose in the spares box, never bin hoses, got a feeling this may have been an Omega Heater Hose
