    Doune, Stirlingshire. Handles ok but seems to want to slide the back end a bit. Could do with a front ARB I think.

    I haven't updated In a while. After the last hillclimb at doune I decided to fit a Front anti roll bar. I've never had one on a nova before and wasn't sure if I'd like it. However having fitted it it feels much tighter. It's not that great on bumpy/rough Tarmac but on smooth tar it's definitely better.



    I've also fitted a swirl pot. I could only have a minimum of half a tank so I've managed to save the weight of half a tank of petrol. Which is quite a bit.





    Ive had a few hilclimbs since including a class win at fintray hillclimb. I've been back to doune too but due to being a leg of the British championship the classes are combined and couldn't get a trophy. That said I'm still chuffed I got a new PB. The car is much less loose.

    Pilbeam bottom arms and strut brace?

    Looks very nice work there pal, got any pics of your linkage?

    Would you be willing to let me borrow the strut brace so i could get it copied for my hillclimb car? been looking for one for a while and no luck, one on ebay a while ago but went for silly money.

    Also.... thats the noisiest fuel pump in the world!
    If Carlsberg did Motor clubs, then IDMC would probably be the best motor club in the world.

    Yeah it's noisy.its the shuttle pump to the swirl pot.its right beside the roll cage loop where the cameras mounted. It's not as bad in the car. Needs rubber bobbin mounts but way down on my priority list.

    The brace is pill beam and I think the bottom arms at copy's by Harry Hockle but as far as I know the same. I'm not so sure about lending it oh tbh but it's kinda being being used at the minute. I'd be happy to give you dimensions an pictures it's not hard to copy but would be to get the quality. I payed a lot for it but it's sexy and rare so could justify it to myself.

    I'll get pics of the linkage. If I remember. I never remember, just move onto the next thing and forget I've done it.
