I have been wanting to do this for a few years now,and after the 205 gti was finished i got bored quickly and wanted another project but something different from what i normally do.
I have wanted to be involved in a form of motorsport for longer than my memory and this is the only type available to my financial reality.
So in August this year i went for a day out with a friend to my local autograss track which is only 8miles away.
The original plan was always 1600 8v stockhatch,cheapest and simplest class-the clue is in the title!
The planned car was a Saxo Vtr,cheap as chips and easy to get hold of in terms of spares etc.
But after watching the races,and speaking to a few existing members (who nearly ALL had nova's) the Citroen/Peugeots arent as well geared for this track as a trusty old nova
Anyways,got talking to some spot on blokes who gave us advice and one of them mentioned his nova was for sale.It came 2nd so was a quick car.Had a good look round,even though i had no clue what to look for ,its a weird feeling not giving a fukk if theres any rust or owt!
Pondered it for a couple of months and then after finally getting moved and settled in i rang the seller and went to view and struck a deal.Its now in my garage.
Needs a few loads panel repairs,and the engine looking at as it smokes a bit and runs on 3 til the spark plugs are cleaned.
Plans for this?? Well,to get it running right and to race the thing
Only got a couple of pics at the minute but there really isnt anything pretty to look at
Its actually straight other than panels and is quite solid too.Fully seam welded at the front,spec includes;
Ali race seat,5 point harness,full cage,pop off wheel,standard e16se,ali tank and battery box.Also got a sh1t load of spares thrown in with it also
One thing i will say,if people say "ZOMG you epic tool,you scum,you ruin novazz" etc then dont bother posting,just press the back button,or the red X in the top right hand corner and proceed to begin your journey to fukk.
