    Default few pics and a video of my nova with twin 40's!

    thought i would post a few pics of my nova up.. i was at a autocross/test yesterday but only got a few runs as it was too wet so it was cancelled. car goes well, first time it had been out since re-build. its got a 1400 block, 1300 sr head, weber 40 dcoe's, new plugs, leads and gaskets etc, powerflow stainless back box with powerflow straight through middle section, 4 branch manifold. big thanks to garyc for sending me a camshaft too!

    this is used for trackdays/autocross and normally autotests. has plenty power and goes well for what i need it to. think i have built a good wee car for being 14.

    please leave comments.

    its responsive yep.. took a few hours tweeking them and balancing, also fitted new accelerator jet pumps which sorted the missfiring when going to rev it..

    going to get a meaty cam i think soon. i will get a video of me out driving it tomorrow. i think it sounds better when going.
