This is custom camber plate, designed and build by Stefan. I don't believe he was here in some time, but its worth sending him PM. The mounting plate is for Astra Mk2/Kadett E. Having said that it should be fairly easy to make another one to fit Lanos.

The engine mount came from 1999 Nubira 2.0 16V. 100% bolt-on to the factory center engine mount on the chassis. This was, to our surprise, an easy part. Having said that, it means that any Opel 1.8/2.0 motor with the center mount will bolt right in.

The long awaited update on the Super Swift project. The car has been up and running for a number of months now. I have not been part of it since the end of the wiring, initial configuration and the startup. Setup: Engine: C20GET 2.0 8V Turbo - full ARP bolt set (main, conrods, flywheel), cylinder he...

Many of the diesel engine use an optical pickup for the rev gauge. There may me an aftermarket kit available...ideally it should have adjustable output to sync it with the proper pulses factory gauge requires.

Very nice numbers ziemniak.... nice job indeed ;-) Altough with the price of gas approaching (if not yet) 5 PLN/l, how is it fuel-wise? Are you considering LPG conversion for the times when you do not need all the power? PS: Wracam do polski na stałe na wiosnę przyszłego roku...na pewno będę się chc...

It was the horizontal section that was precisely 2" shorter. Otherwise, it was 100% fit.

This may, or may not help you. I changed the catalytic converter/flex pipe assembly in my 1.5 Lanos (old one crapped out). Interestingly, its from 1.6 16V Aveo... bolted right in place. The only drawback is the fact the assembly is 2" shorter than one used in a SOHC motor. In other words, the assemb...

Friend of mine has set of used 86.50mm XE forged pistons and polished/debeamed rods. I would have to check if they are available....

I am having some major issues getting the gauges to work after the C20GET swap. Seems the coolant temp, fuel level and fuel warning gauges are controlled by the factory ECU, which now is gone. I need a volunteer to remove the dashboard and take some measurements on the cluster connector. Multimeter ...

The rear drum setup is "self-adjustable", but it does so in a very poor way. The way I was told to adjust rear shoes on the Kadett/Nexia (by mechanic), was to set the adjuster by hand to the point, where the drum was turning with a little of restriction. If you set too much friction, shoes will keep...

Thats the one

Thats the one. According to this website (link already posted above) http://www.genuinesaab.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=89 the new part number for 9120541 is 93165290 - that is the part number on the bottle.

Opel/Vauxhall state to use only their oil, specially formulated for this gearbox, and only used on a few other GM/Saab gboxes. I would do more research on F28 before using different brand. Its not like you can pick up 2nd hand F28 at a local car breaker.

Stand alone engine management completely replaces factory harness (may, or may not to - some choose to use existing OE wiring) and factory ECU. New ecu is completely configurable using a laptop, and tuned using (ideally), a rolling road (known as a dyno on this side of the pond ;) There are some cha...
