Morons and the word assumed go hand in hand.

This has come up a few times now and as decent shells 1.8 & 2.0 become more scarce using lower spec cars as a project base makes more sense. The main difference between the 1.3-1.6 shell and the 1.8-2.0 shell is that the 1.8-2.0 has a more beefy front subframe and crossmember setup. The issue is that you cannot simply transfer the subframe across. The longer subframe is located by 2 bolts in the centre while the shorter ones have one bolt and a locating dowl. Longer subframe Shorter subframe All is not lost though. The rear bolts line up and the dimensions of the subframes are basically the same otherwise so you can cut the the section out of the shorter arms and weld them into the longer ones. Take careful measurements of where everything should be then cut out the section in question from the shorter arms Which will leave you with this. Now once you have checked your measurements cut the corresponding section out of the longer arms and transfer the single bolt setup across. I suggest tacking it up then checking it on the car to make sure it lines up with the 2 rear bolts. And you end up with this Then there is the front crossmember / radiator support. It can be cut out of a 1.8 or 2.0 (if you can get a decent one) and welded into place in the 1.3/1.6. It's basically a straight swap. With the lower arms in place you can bolt it up before welding to make sure it's in the right place. If you're fitting an intercooler (as I was) you may benefit from making up a one off crossmember to give you extra space. What way you go about that will depend on your needs. Personally I'd say this mod is only actually needed if you're running big numbers or are planning track days. If you only plan on fitting an XE and are a bit daunted by the task you'll be fine without.

If you have to double clutch it there is something wrong with the box or the clutch

Paul you're welcome to all the t-shirts and straw hats

We won't be making it this year folks. Unavoidable BS is getting in the way and it just isn't going to happen. Fairly gutted sorry to hear this thou you didnt happen to book a hotel room ? I know a newly wed couple that forget and are on the hunt for one

They came over in vintage stuff from the 20s-50s and had no interest in anything newer. They were just generally unfriendly. If people from here come across we'll be there with bells on but I'm not bothered otherwise.

We went to the last one and lets just say the VBOA had very little interest in anyone but themselves

Curse my arse. Lack of dedication more like

I love all the positive vibes we have going on here.

Yeah you can pay at the gate. We generally have plenty of space for camping and parking non cavs. Your Laguna obviously won't be in the stand display but there should be somewhere to park it even if it's not right beside your tent.

If it's the second time the starter has gotten farked your probably wasting your money replacing it without doing the flywheel

Sorry mate my comment was meant in general not just aimed at you. You're just out of membership though and we don't take cash payments any more. Details on subscription here: http://www.mk2cav.com/index.php?cat=86

Booking details are now in bold in the first post. As usual folks you need to be a club member to attend this event.

It went with the forum update. We got a stable forum but lost the map; a good trade off though.

Is this not the one that Andy and Dougie found with the MOD? If it is that's how it came and it's later than 1980.

Have the VBOA confirmed those dates?

Awesome show yet again. Properly chilled out which is exactly what the 3 of us needed
