my nova project (volume 2)

[philip]

300bhp is going to be mega. id look at catcams or even the silly QED 460's, but the 460s really are a 5k+ cam. i dont rate the piper cams at all. i fitted some 270 newmans, with r1 carbs, wossners, head work and TLE exhaust and made 225@fly peaking at 6.5k. but then you start heading towards 300bhp the car will be a pig too drive. if you had a car that pulled from 3k up to say 7.5/8k, it would be better to drive and quicker than another car that didnt pull til 4.5/5k up coming out the bends would be a nightmare and a bitch too drive.

thanks for advice! well done it, 3 laps round the nordschleife, 10.29 best time, which on speaking to some english lads there who had been round in evos and rs focus's, is quite good! really demanding on the car and body though, car never dropped below 4 grand! cant wait to come again but im taking the car to a proper race setup place to get all my suspension set properly as it was twitchy as fook going round some of the lairyer bends! i think harry hockley will be having a call when i get back!

hey all, well im finally bk on ere after a couple of years out, career, kids the usual things that keep us away from our hobbies ! anyway life has settled abit now and its time to start tinkerin with the nova again! its pretty much as left from a couple a years ago when i did the nordschliefe in it, bar 2inch of dust coverin it . fired her up for first time earlier in the week n she stiull purrs just as she did and goes like s@*t off a shovel still so not much changed :D few things i got to do to get the project ticking again, wanna fit a gte/gsi/td rear arb should av been done ages ago but hey. also wanna set it up on equal length shafts, just need to source the intermediate shaft, bracket and bearing and a comp drive shaft to suit, that is unless there is a comp intermediate shaft but from my research that stay the same and u just use a comp drive shaft ( n just a reminder the novas 250bhp so cant compromise on shafts ) next aswell is to weld in my rear strut brace that i cut at work last night all tryin to tighten up the back end. another trick little thing im tyrin to do is modify my astra digis bulbs to get round the constant popping , experimenting with leds and normal g4 bulbs and holders so see wat i come up wiv anyways enough for now, wish me luck :D
