Re: coilovers..?
I was thinking something like the big block hubs they use on a corsa b so that the track rod end then fits to the hub rather than the leg (corsa b ones have to track rod end higher up than the astra. Only thing is the rack arms would sit lower but without offering it up I dont know how much lower. T...

coilovers..?
Is the track rod end location the only thing stopping me from fitting coilovers?
Ive seen the diy jobs where they thread the leg.
Me and a mate are debating how it could be done (he has amk1 astra) and shares the same setup as a cav.
He wabt to fit mk4 astra coilovers to it.

Re: snapped equal lenth shaft bracket
With the amount of stuff you break... you wound be better off selling up and using the bus... providing you wont jump up and down on the seats!
Back to the topic... I drive my cav hard and never snapped a shaft.. ok split a coulle of cv's.. and blown a gearbox but never a shaft.

Re: TOP SPEED...
It would depend on the gearbox they have.
According to the speed calculator my modded gearbox has a top speed of 206. The engine could never pull it to that though. And I wouldnt like to try either.
A standard f20 states at 6000rpm in 5th is 128mph
