    Getting there slowly but surely, I've now have 90% of parts to complete it bar seats and harnesses.

    should be a busy Xmas


    Going to be running fully sequential now so can ditch the distributer and replace it with a camshaft sensor. Not sure exactly sure when I'll get the chance to fire it up but this side of Xmas would be nice

    Haven't been on in a while and haven't got much done to the nova due to other commitments namely




    but progress is being made slowly!


    What's people's opinions on taking out the bracing along the floor that front of the original seats to? Got some new seats and what to try and put them closer to the centre of the car but they are fowling the bracing

    I would only consider removing the bracing with a cage. But I'm sure you could notch it.

    going to get a 6 point one, more than likely bolt in. I may just remove the bracing as it runs over the exhaust tunnel and keep it in place between sill and tunnel

    Looking good man an the seat looks to low I think if you raised it you will sort the fouling issue

    That's just it sat in but I'm welding in the mounts for it and want to keep it low, suppose I'll be able to play about with the side mounts

    so close to starting tonight but didn't have time for all the small jobs, one last push tomorrow







    Will probably have to move the battery again as I bought a cage and it has a brace that will foul it in the current location. Had to do away the the vw cops as the ecu can't provide enough current to fire them, so going to go with a block coil off a polo

    It's alive! Was initially hard to keep running but adjustEd some settings and balanced the throttle bodies. Idle is sitting around 1500 rpm so need to try and lower that but apart from that all is good!
