Yeah, but his one also has a Fiesta number plate recess (mk5?) let into it ;-)

Also you can run twin 40's with a turbo, but they have to be sealed to stop the fuel being pushed out of the carbs when on boost. The old Lotus Espirit from the 80's used a set of twin 40 Dellortos...

Search the forum as this comes up so often it get's boring! and you CAN fit a T3 in the engine bay as thats what I had on my 1.6 8V Turbo, so people saying you can't should actually check these...

Aye up Mike! Good to see you finally got round to getting all the bits back on it! Guessing you never did finish the slam panel we were working on?
Work's been a bit hectic, but once I sort my new...

The place we're using is Thomas & Vines, seem to know their stuff, will get some pics when it's all done so you can see what you think. Spoke to my mate today and they phoned him to say they've...

I'll be interested to see what the price, quality and turn around is like. I'm currently getting my mates RX7 interior flocked, but there is a hell of alot more to that than a nova dash, plus we're...

Something I remember reading a while back was Weber made the DCOE, then Dellorto revised the design, then weber made the DCOM which is supposed to be the best of the 3. Someone might want to look...

Wizards aren't bad with the roof down, but look damn hideious with the roof up!

Early Beetle Convertible...

Yup Volksdreams in Ely do have a bad rep, not had anything done by them mind. My mate has had a few issues though as he owns the registered company name Volksdreams, as he was going to do his own VW...

AMR a bit of a bodge? LMFAO!!!!!
We had to take their work out and start again after the car ate a gearbox in 80 miles. When we took it out we found the adapter plate they'd used was on the piss, so...

Oh yeah, on the subject of projects/engines, you can put any engine in a beetle. Don't got for a Porsche engine as it's a flat 6 and won't fit the rear end without major agro. Your best of going for...

99% of beetle convertibles from the factory were made by Karmann! The only other ones were made by Hebmuller, and if you can find an original one now, no matter what condition your talking ?30K plus,...

question is with it that low, will it actually have much suspension travel? I know your car is more about show than go, but what price on crap handling?

Chris

Well bare alot of thought on the thickness, because you don't want to over heat the rad aswell, better invest in a couple of SPAL fans to drag the air through the rad/intercooler combo. If you want a...

If you can't see it, then air can't get to it, and whats the point in that? :?

Chris

Cormac, might be wrong, but I think thats Rick's old intercooler (lol @ old, the car did about a mile with it on!) and was made up to Rick's specs. Can't remember if it was Pace or Forge that made it...

And there was me thinking you and Rick thought Novas were garage ornaments :wink:

Chris

Yeah, not pimp my ride, just will some fucker please finish my ride! lmao

Chris

Rick,
Rather than bragging, how about telling him where from? Help the fellow nova owner and all that....

Chris

Breeny, silly offset? to my knowledge porsche rims go up to a 65 offset, the majority though are et 55, so from that point of view you could probably squeeze them onto a nova, as you'd need to...

Get some Dare V1s if your getting 17". Had some fitted to my Turbo and never had any catching problems. The way your car looks though I think softstars would look mint on it.

Chris

It would be easy enough to repair, but whats the point? you might aswell buy a 1.2 and mod that, will cost the same amount of money! Shame, I liked that car, and put a hell of alot of money and time...

Just been pointed out to me that my old nova is on ebay, so went and had a look, advert is here so you can see what I'm talking about.
Now when the car was sold I know that the guy broke the gearbox...

Go Listen to some Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen or Richie Blackmore. Christ, Eddie Van Halen, I could go on, but you get the idea, the people you haven't heard of are normally the best in...
