    Default Nova GSI c20let

    Hi, looking to sell on my nova GSI c20let project, the car runs and drives fine, i was just never able to get it were i wanted. It just sits unused in my garage now and is only occasionally started and driven up and down the street to keep everything free and working. I will get this out early in the description to avoid wasting peoples time, the car is no oil painting and could ideally do with a respray or perhaps a wrap. The car is not really a friendly day to day driver as its stripped and fully caged included bars into the front struts. It also has a fuel cell in the back which is fed by duel fuel pumps which isn't what i would describe as particularly quiet. It has also had the power steering and brake servos removed for a adjustable bias box. However that's not to say it couldn't be daily driven if you were commited enough .

    Quick spec list:

    C20let engine
    F28 6 speed gearbox
    EDS ph2 chips
    Kent cams(not sure on profile)
    Adjustable vernier pullies
    Large FMIC and solid boost pipes
    Large custom top hat
    Vrx blue injectors
    Adjustable webber fuel regulator
    K&N air filter
    Wired in working diagnostics cable(basically paperclip method but just requires cable to be grounded)
    3" custom turbo back exhaust system
    Full intensive roll cage
    Fully seam welded with strengthening plates
    Corba bucket seats and sparco harnesses
    Big block hubs, cv joints and driveshafts
    V6 brakes including rear disc conversion
    Fully adjustable willwood bias box
    Hydraulic handbrake
    Bilstein shocks and springs
    Astra Digi-Dash
    Baileys chrome header tank
    Chrome turbo heat shield
    Single wiper conversion (requires some attention, does work though)
    Security door locks
    Front strut brace
    15" cesaro alloys

    I estimate the car to be around 300bhp mark.

    Probably forgotten loads but that is the basic spec.

    Bad bits:
    There is a break in the CTS wire somewhere which is showing the code on the dash, which is a very common fault and easily fixed with a bit of searching
    Wipe arm is slightly bent and wiped doesn't wipe the entire screen
    Paint work(especially drivers rear quarter)
    Fuel gauge doesn't work as it requires a sensor putting into fuel cell, does have a sight gauge though.
    Sunroof has been removed and filled could do with another layer or 2.
    slight rip in drivers seat.

    Cant think of anything else off the top of my head, but will add if i remember anything, will probably come to me when im near the car.

    Looking for offers around £3000. Serious buyers will come and view the car and see it for themselves and will also know the parts alone and worth that price.
    The car would also make a perfect donor car for someone wanting to convert their own nova or corsa as it has absolutely everything you need to do a 'proper' conversion.

    Will supply another bonnet and sr spoiler with the car and any other spares i have lying around.



    Unfortunately only picture i have to hand at the moment. More pictures to follow of bad areas, interior etc, should get time tomorrow to get it out of garage and give it a clean etc. Just thought id get the advert sorted.

    Cheers

    Was it originally a GSi? If so what colour is it, it's hard to tell.

    Thanks
