    It does seem at home on the redline like Taking it in for a RR Saturday morning to start the day off and to mark the start of the build - don't want to redtop the car but might try and build a decent 1.6 16v maybe?!

    Hi mate did you manage to take it for RR? would be nice to know what it was running. I use to own that nova for 5 years. Was pretty quick did run a 17.0 Sec 1/4 Mile in that.

    These are great engines, my first nova had a c14se from a corsa sri, to be honest i think i had more fun in it than the 20xe it had after! Will take all the abuse you want to give it and some. 4 branch, full system and a kent cam will improve its top end too I had mine reading well off the clocks with my kent cam in it on a private track.

    Am i the only one sat here thinking, why the hell were you doing 100mph in the rain?

    And then to post a video of you doing so on a public forum, certainly isnt the cleverest of things to be doing in my opinion!

    Couldn't get to the RR due to work unfortunately, will do soon though.

    Spudly - I understand your concern, and opinions are free to give and keep. I am aware of the dangers of public forum videos and peoples perception of what is in/outside the law. Its because I know whats what that I can post without fear - not that I have anything to worry about. 90 ish mph on 24 year old tacho......different rolling circumference from factory wheels etc, the list is endless, assuming I am driving, assuming its my car etc etc - I wouldn't watch car vids on youtube mate, you will have lots more thinking on your hands
