well as some of ye might no i had to take the nova off the road to rebuild the head, as the head had cracked/porous . i sleeved the oil gallery and just did all the oil sels including stem seals, also made some strut braces, as front ones for LET's are impossible to get over here and noone would post one over! and couldnt be arsed buying a back one, then i bought some rose joints and made myself a rosejointed linkage which has made gear changes a million times better, i can now actually change down into 2nd!
then i decided that my brakes wernt up to the job anymore so got some wilwoods i must say i love them there ****ing sex! then also decided that i was sick of the white wheels so painted some black, altho there not on the car yet hopefully my tyres will arrive today!,
also fitted my walbro and fpr a while back so once if done a few more miles ill be running 1.1-1.2 bar, i was running 1.4 by accident last weeklol just for a spin and it was ,mega quick, spinning in fourth!
any who here are some piccies!

I'd love to know what disks they are too as I have the exact same ones. Had to get some spigot rings made up as the centre bore on the disk is bigger than the Nova hub.

I would rather the disk located on the hub than trusting a locating screw and the wheel bolts to hold it in the right place.

The rocker cover looks well Alan and the black wheels will be nice :thumb:

The discs came off my nova,It must have cavalier hubs.

The next time your down at mondello you'll have to bring the nova and bring me for a spin :D
