My Nova rally car is nearing the end of it competition life. I am on the look out for another Nova shell. As a contingency I am doing some research on moving to the more plentiful Corsa B shell. Most of my parts will move straight over but I was wondering if it is possible to loose enough weight from the Corsa shell to get it down somwhere near the Nova therefore remaining competitive.
The Nova is very light using fibreglass bonnet and hatch also polycarb windows and is obviously stripped out. I will take the Corsa to this level but I would think it would be impossible to get down to light weight Nova levels.
Has anyone made the change? How close did you get to Nova weight?
Are there any other advantages/disadvantages to doing this?
