Re: Lemans/Kadett Project status: ACTIVE

I will probably be getting rid of my Lemans GSE chassis, so I will have some spare parts if you need them. I was planning on putting my C20GET into it, but my plans have recently changed. Unfortunately, I think the timing belt just went out on my Sport Lanos - it died on me while driving and made th...

Re: Daewoo/Opel drift car?

If i had a slightly larger budget, this would be ideal ... Daewoo G2X!

I could pick up a cheap Saturn Sky and switch to Daewoo emblems. The Kappa chassis is very well suited for drifting!

Re: Daewoo/Opel drift car?

Hey, that's pretty awesome, Efrain! Congrats on your successful season! I really just got into drifting, so I'm trying to find a cheap car I can practice with, until I get better. I've actually seriously considered an e36 BMW with an M50 to start out with - just need to find one for the right price....

Re: Daewoo/Opel drift car?

Funny you mention that. One of the guys there racing suggested almost the same thing - except he said he'd use a Ford rear-end. If I had a larger garage or a shop to work in, I would definitely do some experimenting, for sure. I discovered something interesting in my research. Apparently BMW's and I...

Daewoo/Opel drift car?

Spent a lot of time at the track this year at the grassroots drift events. I've gotten the nickname "Daewoo" down there, because I drive up into the pits in my Lanos. I've been planning a potential drift car build and I wanted some input from you guys. I was thinking about modifying a Cadillac Cater...

Re: The longest Thread ever!!!

I live about 20 miles from Kirkland ... small world, huh? Well, anything you have that'd be beneficial for my C20GET Lemans project, I'd be interested in it. I'm currently saving for a Quaife ATB differential for the F16, but that's about the only missing bit, I think. Got the engine, the motor moun...

Re: Saturn Astra 1.8 in my Sport Lanos

Looks like it's the same - I'd post a pic, but I can't make it work on my iPad. The intake is in the back by the firewall, and exhuast toward the front - It appears to have a mount in the timing belt side just like the Aveo/Reno/Forenza. Next time I'm at the scrapyard I'll investigate a bit more if ...

Saturn Astra 1.8 in my Sport Lanos

While my GSE Lemans project is on hold, I've been considering a modest upgrade for my Sport Lanos. I originally was thinking about grabbing a 2.0 L Forenza/Reno engine, and seeing about building up the top end, and raising the redline just a bit. That's one option ... Then I noticed that a Saturn As...

Re: The longest Thread ever!!!

Too bad your so far away, I have tons of parts I don't need anymore given the GSi is gone. I'm not quite as far away, and I would definitely be interested in some spare parts ... I currently have my Lemans GSE, an '01 Lanos Sport, and a base-model '99 Lanos. Oh, and my turbo Sunbird. What kind of p...

Re: Injectors shut off during deceleration

I once used a LED test light on the fuel injector circuit to diagnose an intermittent fuel delivery issue with my Lemans. It had TBI, not MPFI, and it DID have fuel cut off during deceleration. If it was around back then, I'd assume it's still implemented in the more modern Daewoos.

Engine accessory bracket compatibility?

Been awhile since I posted on here. I've been getting ready to swap my c20get out of my Sunbird into my Lemans GSE - got all the parts, got a nice break in the weather, and i'm finally ready to get started. I was thinking about what i'm going to do with all the left-overs, though. I'll have the N/A ...

Looking for a 1500 lb clamping force pressure plate

I've been talking to a local shop about assisting me with my C20GET into Lemans GSE swap, and I'm stuck on getting the right clutch setup. I've tried to get in touch with gseturbo recently, because I know he makes some good kits for this swap, but I haven't heard back from him yet. I'd like to find ...
