    Default Vtec powere nova rally/track project

    *Update vid link now on page 10*


    Hi right where do I start I began a project trying to fit a b16 Honda vtec into my nova about 18months ago during that time ive had some financial problems which brought the whole build to a totally stand still.

    Now though I'm back on my feet and happy to report thing are flying along!

    Early pics and reasons for this choice can be found in the link below these pic and comments were all befor money probs got bad

    http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthr...143445&page=10

    Since then a new better paid job resulting in a massive cash injection to the project have bought it along in leaps and bounds. I know people don't like these kinds of posts without "evidence" so I'll be back at the garage working on the Sunday and will take lots of up to date "evidential" photos

    I know some people are vauxhall through and through and sorry if the pics of a Honda engine in a nova upset you but I also have a passion for vauxhalls but I also like pushing boundarys having said that I am open to criticism and don't mind the odd insult

    Any hope you like what you see and I'll report back soon with up to date pics and info

    Cheers for looking Ant
