    remember, any LET engine you will find will be in need of a rebuild.. people just don't break good ones, do not just chuck the first one you find in. spend a load of hours in the projects section.

    personally, i'd say to look up all of joff's stuff, he's been doing it a very long time with his let

    As a c20let nova isnt the easiest to drive.

    I got about 300ft and switched it off shaking
    This comment is class... he has a 450bhp MR400 at the mo and just broke his old 580bhp Esc Cos for parts...am sure he will manage the LET....

    Also many 15 year old member says they want a c20let nova.

    Kinda seems odd to me.

    But yeah, id say £5k will see an avrage spec one

    but both of those cars were sort of already built for it & there is a ready industry supplying stuff for both of them....

    the 1.2 nova is not built for this sort of thing, it needs every moving component changing or modifying to run a LET properly
    the shell needs stripping out & strengthening, then it needs modifying to fit the big block.
