Rob Morris Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Tim, Don't do it! You'll only regret it, as good Vauxhalls are getting hard to find. Stick with the supperior engine, heavy but able to go the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimNeill Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Rob, don't do which? I had thought that a 1.8 K series was going to be the best base to build on, but now I just don't know. Pros and cons? I've only driven Arnie's Vauxhall engined car the steering did feel far heavier than my ally block BDM car. Is this representative? I need to try a few out! While it's still wet . . .

EFA Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Tim, I set my car up like that deliberately. Its a feel I like. You wont feel the engines weight through the steering, you'll just understeer a lot. Anyway to get power from a K you have to strap lumps of metal to it. So far I've chopped 11 kilo's off my short engine (well off the crank actually) so I reckon the weight differential must be narrowing... On the subjetc of differentials, this is another good way of dramaticallky reducing understeer.

Mike Bees Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 I haven't strapped any lumps of metal to my K. The bits that Peter's strapped to his were designed for a 300bhp turbo version - this may or may not be overkill for a nat asp. AFAIK Peter's the only person who's done it.

Robin Renton Posted February 18, 2001 Share Posted February 18, 2001 It would appear that way Chris, but unfortunately my poor little machine has suffered mortal injuries after leaping off the road and carving a broad swathe through the surrounding undergrowth & hedging. Every bit of it is bent, but it's a great testimony to the superb integrity of the tub that I emerged with only a few scratches to show for it. So I need a replacement to raise my spirits! Robin.
