    Default prs c20let trackday project..

    yes, another Dutch nova project


    first my nova history:


    back in 2009 I build my first sleeper nova mk1. c20xe, f18cr, kw suspension ect. had to sell it because of buying a c20let for my astra mk3 gsi





    so I build my Astra c20let and drove it as a daily for about 1,5 years and then came across another (red) mk1 nova. the plan was to build a budget daily race car in in a few months because the c20let was quite expensive to drive . finally it took 4 years and a lot more money than planned to build the nova . replaced both rear quarters and grinded everything out of it! the goal was sub 700kg with an xe in it .
    before it even had a test drive, It had been painted it 4 different colours


    1st colour: ral 7016

    2nd colour was high gloss ral 9010
    3th colour:satin ral 9010


    4th colour: flat black




    finally took it for a test drive for about 15 km's and took it back apart! xe nova's just aren't fast enough

    so this leaves us in 2014..

    the guy who bought my first nova had spent some serious money on my old project and turned it into a serious trackcar.

    he than decided to sell everything. so I went over to buy me a cae racing cable shifter to put in my astra mk3






    so I went to pick up my cae shifter, saw my old nova again and thought it would be a shame if it would go to autograss or something like that


    so, time to brake the piggy bank



    so it's a nice shell with new oem rear quarter panels ect., but got some decent parts with it

    bought a qsp quick release. unfortunately it had some play







    then decided to spend some more money and bought An original 2015 model sparco quick release





    got it, installed it and found out it also had some play
    got a recall from sparco because of a manufacturing fault, mentioned that mine had some play and send it back to sparco. got it back last week and there's still play on the shaft . should have gone with the lifeline quick release, as they are the same price

    bought some oz wheels




    trial fitted them to find out I had massive room on the back off the wheels..
    the plan was to fit my 288mm brakes, so trial fitted them to find out that there was still an massive amount of room between the rim and the caliper.. so bigger is better right? time to trial fitted my Porsche(brembo) calipers off my astra.


    it looked nice, but an 300mm brake disk with a 4 piston caliper would never fit behind a 15'' wheel, right?






    with some tweaking, it does fit..

    4 pots on front it is then
