Keep my nova make it produce as much bhp as i can out of the engine

stripped out rear, gte seats and 3point harnesses (sp)
gte front bumper and grill, standard rear bumper of a late mk1.
13" alloys lowerd on 40mm springs.


or get rid and get a different nova with a bigger engine.

i would but just dont have the time and i still have to drive the car.
thats why it would be easyer to buy 1 with the bigger engine.

[brainsnova]

its possible to do an engine change in 2 days or one day if you are good.

[johnny_turbo]

i no but it having the time to do it with working everyday.

im sure if you collect all the bits together needed for the job your region can have a meet at yours and get it fitted in a day.

No replacement for displacement ;)

Can you afford to buy a car outright? Bearing in mind ones that are already built, generally speaking, unless you spent decent money you'll be buying an unknown - at least if you build it yourself you'll know exactly how good the job is. Known bodges are good, unknown bodges are bad.

Lol ^^^

hence why im biilding my new one from scratch, found too many unknown bodges!!!

why on earth did you put a crap head like the 1.4sr on there when the 1.2 head is far superior!
