just a general pondering.....

whats the wheelbase of a cav 4x4 turbo, and a cally 4x4 turbo compared to a vec b? also, is it just somthing on the gearbox to make it 4x4? dont slate me if im asking daft questions, i've had an evil genius moment

Ta,

yea transfer box on the side of gearbox conected to a propshaft to another diff then shafts to rear wheels,ace idea by vauxhall just poorly done

[tcscotland]

would it be feasible to take the 4x4 system from the above mentioned cars and put it on a vec?

[FaT-AsTra16v]

if u find one that works lol lot of work needed tho u will need to create transfer tunnell up car to house the shaft and transfer box ind if back suspension isnt independent u will need to rebuild both side at the back to house irs,some tool time needed

It's been done a couple of times on Astra's and I think there's at least one corsa knocking about. Done by cutting the complete floor out of a calibra turbo.

[tcscotland]

so it is possible and im not having a "sky hooks" moment again?

i've never heard of a 4x4 veccy b, hence this thread

TC you are the most random person I know - legend lol! I take it the mad-as-lorries wheel camber idea is on the shelf?

4x4 Vec would be ace and I'm pretty certain would be unique. Someone over on AOC put a Monaro V8 in an Astra Coupe, so anythings possible.

lol!!! this idea is going to take some thinking and cash if it is indeed possible, but the "touring car porno style camber" on all wheels is still up front :)

got a good trye supplier? camber like that is why tyres dont last long in the races

yeah, i've read up on it and it rapes tyres to f@ck. But in a normal week i drive the vec for about 5hrs in total, and thats being generous. i just like the look of it

the rear cali/cav assembly will fit with very little work as for tunnel etc it is doable but tbh if going to that extreme i wouldnt be using the vaux 4wheel drive system
