Edd's Nova Sport

[Edd]

I had suspected for a little long while that the ICV could be the issue

But it's taken a long time to find a new one

The one I have is a E16SE one, different part number to the irmscher one I think?

[Novasport]

The part number for the 18E aux valve supercedes to the E16SE anyway so are interchangeable.

[Benn]

I understand the want for new. But a used but cleaned and re-oiled might have done it...

one thing people forget to do is re-oil them.

[Edd]

Benn I tried cleaning and oiling etc

Wish it was summer

[Benn]

Cool cool, just alot don't was all. And yes we all wish it was still nice.

Wait to see if there's a dry day to test drive it? We've had a few cold but dry days down here...

jesus another one nearly 6 years old, has it been on the road yet? slowest builds of the car scene here on png

[Edd]

Yes it has been on the road thanks, all very brief tho

BUT building this car is a hobby and not my life

In the time I've owned it, I have saved up to buy a house in a decent area, spent time and cash renovating said house
Also saved up to get married with top honeymoon

All very much more important than a Vauxhall nova sport

Hopefully be able to use it a bit more now I've finally found the problem

[bazzap8389]

Exactly that Edd, other things in life come before a nova.

What was the problem with it?

[sport]

Wish my sport build had only taken 6 years.

It's very easy to see how projects take a back seat. When I started mine I thought I'd have it all done within a year but life gets in the way, plus motivation comes and goes and money restraints as well at the end of the day like edd says it's a hobby to most of us and the driving is sometimes secondary, it's the building that's the fun bit.
