[NovaBoi92]

cant really find anything on that website, and the engine and gearbox sections dont seem to work. is there anything anybody could tell me on here?

[General Baxter]

no were not doing your work for you lol

[NovaBoi92]

not asking you to lol just asking for your ...''expertees'' as nova owners. :)

[Rich]

Its got a 5 speed F20 gearbox mounted to a 16v engine lol

[NovaBoi92]

ok i mean as standard lol

[General Baxter]

im sure thats std lol

Take features and then do sub research for each thing.

ie. Macpherson struts, helical gearing, geared differentials, difference between OHC and OHV etc..

You could write enough stuff to send your audience into a boredom induced coma if you use this method :)

and the presentation only needs to be about the layout of the vehicle and drivetrain. i.e front engined front wheel drive/ mid engined rear wheel drive etc. but tbh its not really a good presentation if all i can say it ''the vauxhall nova is a transversly mounted 4cylinder overhead cam engine with front wheel drive.....'' :confused:

what sort of college is it????????????????

what sort of course is it?????????????????

Why the hell are you studying antiques (the nova) on this course???????????????

[NovaBoi92]

as i said, need to do a presentation on a certain car. i have no idea why i chose a nova so there you go. its a car mechanics course, so i dont really know why we have to do presentations. but who am i to argue.

[mowgli]

well drive the car in, & park it with the bonnet open. turn on the radio really loud to the local community fm station, then knock it out of tune by 0.5. then stick your head under the bonnet for 20 seconds whilst muttering, then walk round the car, kicking tyres and shaking your head. then explain to the assembled masses that the problem with these cars is that the bits are so hard to get, but you know a decent supplier that might be able to help, but it will cost, then tell some anecdote about how these cars were really good in their day, & there was even a lotus version. then strip enough stuff off it to cover the floor & slide underneath & hit something with a hammer, put the car back together & prepare a bill for £550+vat.

You should pass the course easily

[NovaBoi92]

spot on. will do.

[Stuart]

how long is this presentation supposed to be?

As if its supposed to be simple, then you have covered all the basics with what you said lol

[NovaBoi92]

am not sure how long i just want to add some useful information. can anyone give me any info on things like gearboxes? or any links i can find out (the one adam posted some things on it didnt work)

[Stuart]

hmmmm now where would one find useful info about nova gearboxes....... hmmmmmmmmm If I look down I might see something

[Lee]

All I see is the KFC im eating?

[Stuart]

What do you need in the presentation?

[NovaBoi92]

just things like some detailed specs of the engine, and gearbox.

[Stuart]

goto your nova and get the haynes manual you lazy cnut.


If you get all the help from here then WE want some of the grade :p

[NovaBoi92]

what were all the gearboxes that came on novas as standard? f10, f12 what others?

edit: and i said before, my haynes is locked up in the car garaged about a mile away

[Stuart]

LOOK BELOW!!!!! ffs :wall: jesus you are a lazy git with little to NO initiative. I give you a U grade as an N is too good :p

[NovaBoi92]

yeah i cant find anything about a list of gearboxes that came on a nova as standard?

[Stuart]

have a go at looking through things like the speed in gear link :wall: have you no idea how to find information from a website?

Do you have to remind yourself to breathe now and again?
