original sr wheels

[nova josh]

what wheels would the sr have had on when it left the factory, and what sort of price should i pay for one?
thanks josh:confused:

[vaughanmc]

SR's came with either 14" steel rims or an option was the 14" 3 spoke alloys the same as GTE's and GSi's

What year of SR is it as early Mk1's either had the steel rims or alloys and later Mk1's had wheeltrims IIRC

You looking to buy a whole car ?

this is the only other pic i have, it was my first car and it lasted me for 2 years untill i scrapped it, full set of koni's 14"bbs golf mk2 gti alloys brown n yellow interior and like a fool i scrapped the lot:cry:

[vaughanmc]

Same interior as the Sport ? :thumb:

[bazil]

ive ackshully never seen a sport in real lifelol but dash carpets all brown but heater vents at the sides of the dash 6 dial dash central console, but ive always wondered did all early nova's rear wiper go to the LEFT?? my Ereg sr GTE and GSI allgo to the right:confused:

[nova josh]

i have been quoted at 17 on a prov to insure an sr £1200 is this good or bad better than a 1.0 £1400 or a 1.2 is £1350 wiv a few mods which is best??? and which would be the nicer car i prefer the sr opinions please!

your making me feel really old by saying this BUT WHEN I WAS A LADlol
17 with a prov that 1.3 sr cost me £850 to insure by myself IN 1995!!!
so 1200 is fooking great:thumb:

[vaughanmc]

Early early Nova back wipers went to the right but the later ones went to the left

I'm sure by looking at the backs seat pattern the interior was exact same as a Sport :)

[nova josh]

a 1200 wiv mods i.e cage lowering brakes and exhaust is £1300 is that bad for a 17 year old on a modded nova??

[vaughanmc]

I'm 17 with a 1.2i Nova K plate - -60mm lowered, alloy wheels, spoiler, GSi interior, Magnex exhaust and it costs me about £500 a year TPFT with my Dad as a named driver...

[nova josh]

does it get lowered with parents as named drivers.

[Joe Richardson]

Tell you what mate,£1200 is great:thumb:

im 18 and i pay £1900 for my sr on insurence !

[nova josh]

thats with alloys and interior mod only thoe if i av a 1.2 i can av loads more mods so not sure wats better need to know before i begin looking for a car.

thanks josh:confused:

look at the wheel in the top lefthand corner, most of the sr's had them, some had steelies with the 5 spoke trims like the red b reg one..

get thy self an sr mate :thumb:

[mowgli]

the sr is already 20hp more with a nice interior & some decent wheels & a factory bodykit...

at your age you should be keeping things simple for the insurance

[nova josh]

will do what to pay for an ok one thoe as i dont know how much ??

[bazil]

iirc was ther a 1.4 sr made non injection with mk1 style rear end (wrap round spoiler and cut out graphic the same as the 13sr):confused:

[Joe Richardson]

[vaughanmc]

If you pay the asking price your mad!

[bazil]

keep your eye out here, most folk will know most motors, or know if there scrap, and never rush into buying a nova, some look great on the outside but are scrap on the inside

[nova josh]

thats what i thaught i am going to get a white one and add a mk1 front end and the 3 spoke alloys (if not already on) then should be good but will want a cheaper one wiv some work needed.

[Joe Richardson]

yes mate,that is alot of money !!!!!

[nova josh]

i will give a miss a bit too far away from me to will find somthing else, but it will be a 1.3 sr for sure

[nova josh]

what horses do the 1.2 and 1.3 engines put out??

[mowgli]

1.2 50ish
1.3 70ish

[nova josh]

would they function properly with and massive exhaust or less silencers??

[vaughanmc]

Mk1 Nova's don't come with a cat anyway so you could add a 4-branch to free up some horses and a wee backbox to free some up and add a wee noise

Don't go all chavvy on it and put a huge exhaust

Get a 1.0 or a 1.2 and do it up like an SR to keep costs down then either put a 1.3/1.4 SR engine in or buy the real deal :)

[mowgli]

a big exhaust will make your car slower on the road.... a decent backbox will make it sound nicer, a four branch will make power higher up the rev range...

the std exhaust is pretty good

[nova josh]

i dont want it to be big i want it to look fairly standard like one small ish pipe but to kick out a big noise i.e ma dads mk2 astra http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l121/mickg_2006/Picture005-1.jpg
http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l121/mickg_2006/Picture112-1.jpg
looks almost standard but kicks a very loud noise out due to be nearly straight through.

[Joe Richardson]

astra looks lovely :thumb:

[Ash]

^ is that the mk2 astra which had a project title of 'welding project'?

1.3sr would be a hoot for a first car, I'd spend my money on re-newing worn componants to freshen and tighten it up again. The mk1 sr's just scream 'retro racer' at me now.

[nova josh]

that would be welding project mate on astra-mk2.com its been at billing past 2 years and pvs.

[nova josh]

oh forgot to say it win treasures trophy last year at billing
