As my Nova sounds like a 'light sabre on heat' I was just wondering...

Whats the strangest/loudest/weirdest noise to come out of a Nova?

mine used to whistle when I accelerated hard - had a leak on carb - sounded like a parrot was under the bonnet!

Now it just pinks and clicks

:(

Needs a tune up!

The worst noise ever is the sound of the fanbelt slipping.

Hurrendous screeching noise, turns more heads than a brunette in Sweden.

You feel like a right arse too, until you replace it that is. :)

loudest would probably be mine on high revs

On that note, Throttle Bodies, a decent K & N / PiperX air filter and a full sytem 4 1/2" zorst can make quite a racket aswell.

my horn used to sound like a swan (cos it wasnt bolted on) just sitting on the side of the engine bay.

And i'll second the fanbelt idea, shit noise.

my handbrake cable is currently rattling on my exhaust which is a horrible noise. It usualy happens at low revs and then at high Revs the exhaust sometimes vibrates agaisnt the chassi...Oh what fun :x

my old SR that I had used to sound fine until I turned a right hand bend then it would make a noise like a playing card in the spokes on a bike!!! it was the wheel bearing or something!
