Sounds awsome as ever. Where you moved too now Keith.

I've done ax single wiper on mine.

Brilliant news Keith. Keep the engine as std so you can enjoy the nova more. That way you can go out and abuse it and have fun.

My my rebuilt has gone really well this week. I haven't uploaded...

A what's the plans with the nova then? Just gonna leave it for a bit or sell on and play with vx

Starting to get all my parts together for a mincing session.

Hoping to have the car 90% finished in a day.

For weight balance v power. The best block is a c16xe. As these can be tuned up to c20xe level (budget pending).
However, a 1.8 bottom with a 1.6 head works well too

but if you want power and...

I must admit the video with the cams coming out are on a 2.2 diesel signam.
Ive also seen a few vids were you use over sized spanners and tighten the top nut down as it pops the injector out via...

Ok. Hoping some one out there knows a little about the vauxhall 1.9cdti 16v engine.
Been told I have a leaking injector.
Do you know if they need setting up (diagnostic set up) like mondeo engine...

Omg. What a shock. Is it not worth throwing in a replacement engine to just get the car going.

I've painter the fibre glass wings and bonnet.
Last bits to source now are a decent mk2 dash to get re-flocked. A new mk2 grill and a lower bracket for the alt.

ive picked up a few bits since,...

Oh dear. Been 3 years since I've done anything. I've bought more and more stuff.

I'm gonna throw a few night shifts into the car. Nothing like a couple of 14 hours graft that can't push the car forward.

In not long back from a road trip up to see Keith and his nova.

The he pictures do not do this car justice. It really is a fantastic car and built with care and attention. It's rare to come...

Amazing thread. Love seeing a car being built from day one to today. The work is great. Well done having a go at the welding. It's too easy to let others do it and it's your toy. So why not.
Loving...

I so need to see this car. Need some inspiration for me to pull ones finger out.

I was only just talking about the ladlow track day on sat night.

Rip bernie.

And if nova sport doesn't. I will have it.

Great info guys. I've always said when I finally kill my nova then it will be replaced by one of these. As described by many. A fun car straight away. No need for silly engine upgrades to make it...

Thanks guys. Some good things to think about.

Are there any tricks like we do with the lower arms (plate them up) or any other car within the range that you can use there anti roll bars front or rear. Lower front strut. Also, not looked into...

Cheers guys. Ill look into more stuff like brake switching and best coil overs. Cage/harness's are always a good place for a track slag. See where his budget takes him.

Anyone got any good suggestion to what to do with a Clio 172. Aiming to be a track toy

so looking at best suspension set up, brakes, essentric top mounts? Etc.

i know there's a world of...

The response was a little aggressive craig. You call it pestering, some would call it keen to purchase. Yes you can sell it to who you want. But this is a open forum to all ages. Aggressive language...

I think you should drive north a s swap lupo switch me. I have a 1.4l and I love it there fun cars to drive and you get loads of stuff in them. Have a safe journey.
