Miami blue 1.0 loon :)

[Novaloony]

Well im back, with another nova, this time its taxed mot'd and clean!!!

Some of you are probably looking at my post count and thinking wtf, i used to be on here as novaboi_1991, with the red 4 door saloon, but my account got hacked and now i dont have permissions to post

Anyway, I saw this on autotrader, 1.0, 50k geniune miles, was 75 miles from home but was a good roadtrip,

Apart from needing a new rocker cover gasket, ive not found any other problems as of yet , but being a nova, i probably will,

















It has the 1.0 OHV engine, my previous car was a mk4 fiesta 1.3, but losing that 9bhp? the fiesta has over the nova has saved me £31 a month in insurance

Anyway, What do we all think? Its lowered 60mm and has mk3 astra alloys on it with mahoosive tires...

Very nice condition and the number plate is dropping a hint

[Novaloony]

What you mean the number plate is dropping a hint??

XE the engine it needs 2.0XE

[Novaloony]

oh , i couldnt insure an XE, also, i actually like the little 1.0 pushrod lump, its fairly nippy around town, sits at 75 easily on the motorway, My mates saxo broke down 3 times on the way back haha,.

For now its gonna be small and subtle mods as my last 'loon was made to be/look sporty, red rocker cover etc, but id like to have this looking +OEM/Euro, may go slightly lower, want to change the wheels, pressed dubmeister plates and just generally make it spanking clean

I've always been into saloons, just something about clean tidy 4 doors that catch my eye, I like the 2 doors with mk2 bumpers etc also but getting one of them cheap is probably a no no, I was lucky to get this one

Today I've purchased a new rocker cover gasket as it has a slight oil leak due to a missing bolt, however upon removing the rocker gasket and cover I've found the 4th bolt has been snapped I need the car for work do have tried to seal it for now so fingers crossed.
