Get on to the evening post mun!

My first Nova at 17 was a B plate beige 1.2L, back when red 1.2s fetched over a grand. Served me well as a student for 2 years till one of the sparkplugs fell out and I didn't know about helicoiling...

Not yet, need to collect some bits off Will F :)

Nah, driver's side door rubber :roll:

Just edited above post to fix pics... here's the current state of play when I moved house November last year:

10 POINTS to whoever...

To be honest, it was watching all 14 episodes of A Car is Reborn in a row the other night :)

Well things kind of stopped after the last post over 3 YEARS ago :(

In May 2009, Project Saloon 2 was in danger of being sold off on eBay for parts, but I decided to buy out the others and take...

Bit of a development on the engine front... What has 1.8 litres, 169bhp and a LSD as standard?

Why, a Honda B18C4 of course:

There was much...

Anyway, the new project should be ready soon!

I had 195/45/16 Yoko A539s on my 2.0 GSi and they were awesome in the dry, but not so good in the wet... they lasted about 6 months.... not deliberate burnouts, but just general wheelspin off the...

Road legal moulded slicks. The saloon weighs the same, but theres more metal to get rid of :) And I can go struipped out, and still have a boot to keep my tent in :)

Europe is only as far as the severn bridge for elgan (only kidding m8 :lol: )

I doubt you'll see anything other than GM - cos otherwise it wouldn't be a Nova. Looking at Firges car it seems space...

Glasen is running 12s already and he has heavy backing from EDS which means he can go all the way.

I assume there will be strong competition in the UK which is great for Novafans as it makes a...

Yo locky... I run SW-CC.com (previously South Wales Novas) so I'm usually up Cardiff if theres a cruise/rr day/0-60 day going down.

The difference is this one is in the top 10, maybe the top 5 now, but it only cost ?2k including the car. A grand on management and TC would put him in the 12s, but then again so would a diet...

Yeah its the Red Nova, not mine. Always racing a Black Scooby Catalunya.

I've had a play in photoshop and stuck a boot on my GSi. I've got 17" Super Ts to go on it. Not...

What spec are the 3 then? I love it when Novas beat Scoobies and other ?20k+ cars.

Come on! Someone must have done a 1/4 mile on here!

And another reason I don't want a 3 door is my Missus drives this:

Its the ex Nova Rennovations Demo Car (used...

Yep, looks like 've made my mind up!

Theres nothing like a clean standard looking Mk1, but I don't like them when they are modified. To be honest I don't know yet.

It'll be a 2 door shell, and...

The 2 door weighs the same as an equivalent 3 door, yet there is more metal to be taken away, and it may end up as a 1/4 miler so weight will be an issue.

Plus you can strip oyt a saloon, and...

Good man

Whats the quickest Nova you've seen on the ? mile strip? I wanna see who we're up against in 2003 :)

There was a few 13s at the Pod at PV2002, but are there any 12s in the UK?

Fastest I've...

It'll be easier to do the quickest Saloon in the UK, as my mate will have the quickest 3 door, and theres no way I'll be able to match his car.
