Nova build, track/rally car inspired.

The box will have a quaife SCCR gear set and ATB diff but is still essentially an H pattern sycro mesh box.

Very interesting that you've got one of these.

i chatted at length to Bill about them, but didn't commit to buying one. I'll be keen to hear how you find it to use.

I remember these coming about too. It would be an awesome addition to a Dog Box, cant help thinking the Syncro's will take a beating on anything less but that wouldn't stop me fitting it.

Will that not be right in line with the rack??

That's cool, would love to see the internals of that to see how it worked I imagine it to be extremely complicated!

Yeah i spoke to Bill about one when he built my engine but he wouldnt sell me one because he had a bit of hassle with last customer and decided he didnt want to deal with stuff like that any more as he is trying to retire and is moving on to old motor bikes. He has built a motorbike rolling road in his shed! Has been proven in a couple of rally cars so i dont see any problems, certainly all seems fine on the trial fit.

Cheers.

Am the same pal, Dog box is next step (a while away) and have flat shift etc. We will see how long the gear set lasts, however long it is it will be worth it haha.

Passes over the top of the rack Benn.

I said the same to Bill, bets that complicated his reply - "na not really". Having now looked inside it, he is a very modest and clever man.

Hi guys. Got another small update, progress is not as fast as i would like but who's build is? Its a catch 22 situation i find, i get rest days from work which is ideal for working on the nova but to be able to buy all the nice parts i want to fit i have to work my days off to get the overtime cash to buy them. Like i said catch 22.

Anyway, past couple of weeks i have...

located my screen wash tank and pump with a view of keeping a clean looking engine bay as possible.




Nice short run for the hoses and a bit different i thought. Next was the kit car heater i bought.




Pretty happy with that, mounted it above the passenger foot well. Got a mate that is going to make me a stainless rear water pipe which will have the outlets pointing towards my bulkhead fittings, so easy to connect up with just straight coolant hose. Still got to buy ducting and windscreen vents to mount into dash.

Living in hope of some nice summer days out for a blast, decided to fit roof vent for some fresh air.
