985cc Turbocharged Nova Sprint Car

Do you intend to be out at Gurston this year Colin? Its a much shorter drive for you now!

Would be great to see it in action again.

It's certainly my plan to be racing later this season, but it all depends on whether I can find enough time to get it all back together again.

I have all the major parts which are needed now, but it's time which is in short supply with it being crazy busy at work, and in my spare time trying to renovate my house as well.

OK, decision made, and yet another pedal box is on the way to me;

This can be mounted on the sloped bit of floorpan behind the standard Nova pedal box, and should give me a much more comfortable driving position.

I've mocked it up in the car with a cardboard version of the pedal box, and this time I am confident. Famous last words.

What's more it will save me a fair bit of weight compared to the previous set-up.

Can't wait until it arrives now, and will have to sell off various things to cover the cost!

Hi Jez.

It's nice isn't it?

I've spoken at length with the man who designed and produced it, he really knows his subject, so I'm sure it's going to be good. It seems like amazing value for money when compared to the equivalent offering from AP Racing/Tilton etc.

Photos to follow when it arrives, naturally.

colin how tall are you? still ****ing about with the pedal box in mine and id love to know how you get on. cut a hole in the floor 8valve craig style and made a floor mounted box to find it still didnt give enough room, to say i was pissed off was an understatement! hate patching up holes that i made myself. bulkheak mounted is looking like the way its going for me..

Colin have you thought about hanging floor pedals instead?
This is on a BMW, think they used akit iirc:

5' 10", so not tall. But I can't get my seat any further back due to the design of the rollcage.

I might have to have a winter upgrade funds permitting

The new pedal box has arrived.

It's in kit form, so off to bolt it together now and then test-fit. More to follow.....
