thought i would share some pics with you lot..
we headed to a gravel autotest 2 weekend ago for a run out in the cars, this was the first event for my mates nova rally car. he has just finished building it.
i had such a bad result, simply because my car was a nightmare to drive in the autotest (LSD, no power steering, bias pedal box, handbrake not working very great)..
not to worry though, the car was not built for autotests, that is what my last nova was built for!:thumb:

Then last weekend we were up at Kames Circuit doing a rally test day..
This was more suited to me and my car.. i was setting some very good times imo..had 25-30 rally cars to compete with inluding 2.0 mk2 escorts, c2 r2, 2.0 16v corsa and astra, another suzuki powered nova, 205 gti's, v6 sierra ect ect..
the fastest time of the day was set at 1min 15secs, i was getting 1min 18's and 19's so i was really pleased with that..for a 100bhp 1300 nova with standard gearing and 15'' wheels i think that is fairly good. cant wait to get 14's and a better gearbox.
everything didnt all go well though as i stuffed it on my 4th run.. came too fast into a corner, went sideways, lost backend, got it back, thought we were all sorted then i dont know what happened but i was heading off the road and into tyres. damaged front bumper, headlight and the wing was all pushed out. nothing a hammer and my foot didnt sort though. also ripped the sidewall in one of my brand new tarmac tyres open, so i was gutted about that.
vaughan was up watching, he might have a video..no doubt he will come on here and say something about what he thought of our novas up at kames.
