Welcome along dude.

First off, get yourself a Haynes Manual, you'll find its a massive help.

Novas are dead simple to work on as well, suspension is a 30min job start to finish as are brakes.

Most of the questions you'll have will have been covered numerious times so use the search function on the top right and if you're confused about any of it, just ask!!

But please, dont be a chav.

welcome (dont spam your way to 15 posts ;) )

brakes.. well if you buy a pre XE'd nova you might get most of the stuff you want/need done already (and it will be cheaper than DIY).
Stuff like discs dont really matter, they can be cheapies from motorfactors. Its the pads that are key, Mintex 1144's for light track use, or 1155's for hard track use.
256mm brakes are a MINIMUM for any nova really.


enjoy. oh and its which ;)

lol dont worry am not a chav building a show car for music and car shows and a track car for track days and having a bit of a traffic light beast out side is going to be completly standerd except for comp mo's it already has on it unless there worth a bit then ill sell them on and get alloys to do the job on track

The XE wont bolt straight in either mate, theres a bit of work but as said, ite been covered numerious times before so search FTW!!!
