    Hello
    .

    My name is Ivan and I'm OPEL/Vauxhall enthousiast.
    My latesed project is a Nove irmscher wide body GSI.
    I'm wondering about the racing capacities are and steering quality.
    I did find some strenghtening mods but how is she handeling fast corners or hairpins?
    I know front drive cars have some understeer build in them but how to work on this problem
    is still not know by me.

    For the moment I'm cleaning up the engine bay and stripped out the interor for installing the roll cage.

    I'm planning to compete in some hillclimbs over here and get some decent result with the small box(wide edition)

    That looks a really nice car and I actually do like these wide body kits, look forward to see what you do with the car as it normally differs from the normal stuff we will see over here in the UK .

    I like that wide arch kit and the fact it retains the indicators too...unless you have cut the wings yourself?

    I'm starting with a E16SE engine and not the one that came out this car.
    I've got a second Nova with the same engine with a mild tuning on it but with dog box gearbox and LSD

    motor solid mounts, bigger 2 liter brakes and some bilstein shocks .
    My intensions are running the historic class with it.
    My 20xe engine sits in my other race car, a formula 3 Reynard 903.
    Come to think of it now both cars are same year 1990!

    Love the Sprint kit. Looks very nice in red.
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce

    How about this reinforcment for the front suspension?
    I'll weld the center piece to the body and should clear gearbox
    Toughts and ideas are welcome!
