why have you an intercooler and an XE? or have i missed something?
why have you an intercooler and an XE? or have i missed something?
the reaon for the intercooler is that i am sorta working on a turbo conversion for it using a toyota supra turbocharger and some saab injectors. its still in its infancy tho. and im looking at building an 2.0 8v turbo nova 4dr saloon, with about 400ish brake using a truck turbo, a set of let pistons and some more saab bits. im also building a corsa c with a saab c25xe v6 and an f23 box. hmm, i think ive found a use for saabs!! i wanted to know wether to hide the cooler or not, thats all.
Cool to see a car with some heritage being resurrected. Personally, although back in the day I disliked the Fibresports Novadose bumpers, I think you should try to make it back to what it was in the mag feature (my pic btw).
So long as its all well painted & the wheels suit it, the Novadose kit can look good & the Novadose skirts are best avoided I think.
Up to you anyway, but that is an old skool Nova thats emerged from obscurity. Keep at it.
must say, i do like the wheels on this, looks a dam site better that when you bought it
