That had me puzzled for a min there when you said it looks like a 1200, as i stupidly thought it was oops , errr where can ya get -80mm springs as i neeeed some i got 50 front and what seems like 35 rear and it looks very wrong , very very nice nova you got buddy and i spose i gotta compliment the XRpoo aswell hehehe!!!
if you dont mind me asking how much did you give for the fiesta? are u planning on keeping it for a long time?
the new wheels look great nick, they really go with the car, much better than the other wheels.
I think i'm going to keep it...Originally Posted by Ricky G
you'd have to offer 3.5k + to make me tempted to sell it, and lets face it, that isn't going to happen !
a little off topic but whats the spec of your engine nick? as im building a 1.6 8v and putting my t40's on it just wondered what ind of power i will be getting
rightio
Bottom end has had a full rebuild, Oversize Main bearing set and shells, ARP conrod Bolts, Conrods have been Deseamed/shotpeened and balanced as a set, Crankshaft has been Lightened and Balanced, Flywheel has been Lightened and Balanced, Block was honed and Skimmed, retaining standard bore. New piston rings/seals/gaskets e.t.c.. Head has had rediculous amounts of porting, but for the moment is retaining standard valves, head skimmed. Kent 276deg Camshaft, with kent Stiffened valve springs and lifters/followers. Mangoletsi round port inlet Manifold for T40's. Fully rebuilt Dellorto T40 Carburettors with Short trumpets, and twin K&N Filters. Ashley 4-1 Manifold and straight through system (i was told this is based on the grp A Dealersport design ?)
probably some bits n bobs i've missed off, but i'l be gettin bigger valves and an extreme cam with solid lifters soon, hopefully it'l make something like the power of Jims SRT40 !
Saw it last night at the Cruise Nick, looks bloody tidy and sound really throaty.
Mine was the white nova sri with grey primer on the rear arches.
