im not bein funny, and b4 i ask this i do think ur car is one of the best novas ive seen, but just out of interest:
1. Bearin in mind that u have obvously built ur car 2 go fast, hence 16valve + throttle bodies, why the 17inc wheels, i can see that they go realy well with the kit but why not 16's? because dont 17's handle a lot worse and slow down initial acceleration etc..?
2. wot is the rough 0-60 time and top speed of ur motor ?
thanx :D

17s dont slow it down that much, not noticable, plus the kit needs 17s for looks and need large wheels to fit the brakes.

0-60 is around 6 at mo top speed 145 -150 ish needs remapping at the mo though.

The last time i saw your times ian it was 6.59 to 60, 18.44 seconds to 100, 1/4 in 15.3 and a top speed of 118.8. So going by that its slower than a std valver! lol Rick
