Pink nova @ the pod this weekend

[rhs98]

Anyone know who this was at the pod on Sunday? They seemed to be having problems with gear linkage...

I'd like to race again when its fixed! 8)

^^^^ :: :: ....what engine was the pink nova mate..???

[rhs98]

She said it was a 2 litre, guessing a 16v (but not sure...).

Looked good :wink:


Shame really, I wanted to see how fast it was - the last 2 litre Nova I came across was an interesting race. She broke her linkage and aborted the run, and then did most of a run next time but got a bad launch / start...

it is a 2ltr 8v i was racing her last nite is on a 1.4sr gearbox ran 15.1 i think she said

8) cool - should be a good race. I'm going next Sunday as well - wanna race it again if she's up for it.

1.4sr gearbox sounds like a good choice (but I know f'all about nova's tbh).

Question is, can I beat her on the strip :? :?:

[Philsutton]

depends what you have to whether you can beat her

[rhs98]

I ran a few 15.1's and mostly 15.2-15.3 on Sunday.

I've got a 1.6 CRX, with not many bits (exhaust, filter etc).


What are 2 litre n/a Nova's capable of? What about with the 1.4sr box?


I'm "aiming" (i.e. I'll be lucky :: ) to get in the high 14's before I do anything else major - i.e. engine swap etc

2lt novas can run anywhere from mid 15s to low 14s in standard form an onto low 13s when they have some money spent on them. I think it would be close with you running those times
