[james_19]

yes i know myself but he was very certain of this and i was like no.
i was just guna check incase it was a anniversy one or prototype or anything like that. ta anyway

[Jack]

Did you know there's a field in spain full of brand new, unused Nova shells?

[james_19]

really why hasnt anyone got one??

[burgo]

james did you also know they are taking gullible out the dictionary

[Spudly]

Ive also heard of this one, ive also heard of the reoccuring gaskell lol

[james_19]

i know i was just messing about lol

[james_19]

it was probably a stupid question but this guy was very certain.

[L14MNP]

He's a knob. Print this and show him. I assume he has a Haynes manual for his 2.0 Nova?

[james_19]

lol haha. its ridiculous because the guy is very knowledge about cars. he used to rally race cosworths.

[Sloth]

hmm now, before you all go ape vaux did build a big block prototype, but it was a 2.0 8v and for rallying

[james_19]

and they found out it was a pile of crap

[burgo]

and they found out it was a pile of crapdid it not handle by any chance lol

[james_19]

it was useless at handling, i think it understeered alot and wasnt quick enough. basically it was NOT a rally car

[Sloth]

actually it was good but senior management pulled the plug as they wanted the astra fer that class. better press?

[james_19]

it wasnt that good pretty poor really, compared to the astra it was rubbish, i think they only raced it once. am not sure why they pulled it out could have been better press.

[Sloth]

tbh a 2.0 can handle, esp on armac. i think the other reason is homoglation aswell. theyd have to make 1000 to compete

[james_19]

well anyway mate am off to bed, i understand yes. i personally thing it was a stupid idea by vauxhall to try turn a nova into a rally car. but it had its good parts and more bad parts in my opinion.

[Sloth]

aye, but we love em lol laters bud

[Stuart]

dont forget the Lotus Nova

[EUROTURBO]

lmao...here we go again.... fields, lotus and nova should never, ever go into the same sentence...lol

[MK999]

I think theres a field in spain full of mint lotus novas, 2.0 as standard lol

[ben doodar]

bet they must of known that the 2.0 would fit into a nova, im shaw a few of the factory workers must of knocked a redtop nova up in there lunch breaks

LMFAO, no they'd be too busy having a siesta and combing their moustaches lol

In fact, were any 2.0 engine'd cars built in Zaragoza? Was there even a 2.0 engine in the Vauxhall/Opel range when the Nova was designed?

[Pistol Pete]

lol at spanish workers combing tashs!!

Cavalier Calibre? 2.0 8v wasnt it?? Or did that come after the Nova?

[Spudly]

Was there even a 2.0 engine in the Vauxhall/Opel range when the Nova was designed?


Mk2 Cav SRi 130 for one jack you silly man lol

[Pistol Pete]

lol that too /\

[Jack]

Calibre came after the Nova.


Mk2 Cav SRi 130 for one jack you silly man lol
Spud, when was the SRi130 manufactured? Not in the early 80s, silly man :p

[Pistol Pete]

CalibRE not CalibRA ;)

[Spudly]

Calibre came after the Nova.


Spud, when was the SRi130 manufactured? Not in the early 80s, silly man :p


They were on A and B regs first iirc thats early 80`s by my maths lol :p

[Jack]

lol sorry typo on my part, I know what one you meant :p

They were late 80s iirc - somewhere around 86-88?

[edit] Just checked, 1987.

[Pistol Pete]

Was there even a 2.0 engine in the Vauxhall/Opel range when the Nova was designed?

Is the answer a yes then? 2.0 8valve in the Cavalier?

[Spudly]

And also the astra GTE 8v which was 86-87 same as cav SRi 130 so its near enough for me to feel all happy and correct lol

[Pistol Pete]

Astra GTE was 1.8 8v, no?

[Jack]

Also had 2.0 8v at some point, but again thats not early 80s. Hmmmmmmm

Spud you can't answer half my statement and ignore the rest then pretend to be right LOL lol

Get on chat btw :p

Were they not complete cars, ive seen them!

[Andy]

Was there even a 2.0 engine in the Vauxhall/Opel range when the Nova was designed? So you're all wrong lol It seems they were all designed at the same time,Novas will have been designed in 80-81 maybe then produced in 82 and 1st reg in 83
They were 2litres around though,the viva gt but that was late 60's??

[Spudly]

Spud you can't answer half my statement and ignore the rest then pretend to be right LOL lol




Ummm, yes i can lol



Pete the mk1 GTE was a 1.8 8v but im meaning the early mk2 GTE 8v:thumb:


Andy, shush lol

[Andy]

Collossal failure spudnik lol

[Pistol Pete]

my bad spudders..lol still a GTE though...

[L14MNP]

We all know you couldn't get a GM produced 2.0 Corsa A.

B's on the other hand... lol

[Sloth]

hmmm ill tell bill blydenstein he's wrong then.......... as thats where the info came from. and the first 2.0 8v was made in 84 in the cav cd, iirc. btw bill was talking about the same time as the gte rally cars.

[Adam]

hmmm ill tell bill blydenstein he's wrong then.
I dont think you will......

[Dar]

did vauxhall factory produce a 2.0 16v nova??
Yes. I have one :thumb:

[Sloth]

adam i was being faceitious (sp) i know he's passed on (r.i.p) dar pics plz roffle!

[ben doodar]

LMFAO, no they'd be too busy having a siesta and combing their moustaches lol

lol you daft lad! i can see them now.....
on a more seriouse note does anybody have any REAL information on the lotus nova or have i missed something here........... lol
i beleive the engine lay out of the nova etc is a group b family lay out?? so i suppose some of the moustache wearers may of had an incline to a 2.0 nova.

[Sloth]

the lotus nova is a joke, though there is a corsa b lotus. the nova is family 1 orientated, but its that easy i guess they did think bout it.

[Stuart]

though there is a corsa b lotus.

proof or FOAD


And that dosent count the fact that Lotus helped with the chassis development with the mid 90's cars

[General Baxter]

I dont think you will......

im sorry bill was a good man, but did any one else find that funny lol

[General Baxter]

oo noes what about the 'cosworth' head on the xe lol instant 30bhp more :p
