    ive work on the nova in two garages in that time so finding it is going to be the problem,

    cheers for the heads up bazza will order some of the turrets payday

    I wouldn't fit a F28 again. Infact i'm thinking of going back to a F20.

    1. Weight,
    B. You dont save anything in rev terms in 6th. In 6th at 70mph is about 3.7k rpm. In 5th (on a F20) 70mph is about 3.6-7K rpm too..
    3. Can't get bits for them, when you can they are mega money,
    D. I think they are more fragile than a F20.
    4. The price, you can by 30 F20's for the same price as a semi good F28.


    F. Just me here, but i don't think they drive as nice as a F20.
    6. I'd build a spec'd up F20, which i'm looking at at the mo. Think Cable change and F18 5th gear cog, to really lower the revs in 5th.


    H. Wanna by my re build F28 with Quaife diff?

    My box is in perfect condition buddy and I need to buy bits but if I had the spare cash I would, decided on getting a plate diff now.

    Oh right I like the fact of having 6 gears in a nova . And I didn't have much luck with f20's in the past

    I thought it was cool at the start too... It's worn off now.

    Well seeing as the new shells already got the mount for the f28 I'll keep it for now.

    big thanks for Chris gsi, I've got the registration of the nova and found out it was originally a 1.4 sr
