    Default Nova build, track/rally car inspired.

    Hi guys,

    thought is was about time i started my build thread as i really enjoy reading (stealing ideas) from everyone else's. I bought my nova last May and spent the summer enjoying it. It had a corsa gsi c16xe on twin 40 webbers with omex 200 ecu with launch control. Come October i sold my evo so the garage was free and i decided to start from scratch on the nova.

    Plan is, a light weight, wide arched track/ hill climb car but still road legal. I have a SCCR transx gear cluster, pro tec wide arch kit, quaife diff and a fresh lovely Bill Falconer built (in process of being built) 1600 16 valve on twin 45 clubman engine.

    I am useless at posting pictures so bear with me, i have them on my facebook page so am pasting them across from there but i think they might come out huge?..... here goes.

    Looks a nice car to start with and some good plans, first thing you need to do is wip off that monster sticker.

    Plans sound cool! Bills engines seem to be great.

    When you copy photos over, right click on the photo on FB, then click on copy img. Come back to here, press the Add photo button then paste in your code.
    The photo will then show. I did it with your dash one.
