As Novashed said in the first post- any pics of the lambo burnt orange nova 'LUG 16v'?
Think it had a valver, can't be sure.
And any pics of Brian Hughes blue Nova- was in a feature with a green nova in lax pooer. Was a calder coachworks job
Still love scott coleman's nova- any idea what happened to it? Says on the feature he was sellling it.

Tsk Tsk girls - fighting like bitches over the old skoll stuff.
I had* every Max pooer from issue 2 to present date (well present date about a year ago) so loads of old skool there, I had about 10 years worth of Fart Car - more old skool Nova-age, I had every tRevs and Bredline - mucho Old Skool.
I also have pretty much every PNG mag printed (Right back to when they were black and white and about 6 pages big!!) right up to middle of last year when I didn't renew my membership.
Max Pooer with Walshys Nova and _Bens_? Jesus I expect even my Mum has got them - common as m8 - common as!!! I once had 3 copys of the a16 VTB Nova issue of Max, I gave 2 away and kept one for myself.
Anyone got the Max Pooer vid with the Nova Santa Pod day on it? Features Jon Walsh sitting in a shopping trolley on the strip - loads of Nova's (Inc John Hiltons pictured above and also Jon Haslams).
Yes I've got that vid aswell.
I'm the daddy oh yes it's true...........
:twisted:
* I say 'had' cos I've thrown them out now and only kept ones with the better Nova's / Vauxhalls in - I tried giving them away but nobody was interested - I expect they were probably worth a few quid.

Somebody find Rami Ryatt & make him build another Nova!!!!
how good does his look in that pic?
Didn't it die of rust in a big way eventually - real shame
Martin, do you know where Rami is from ?
spoke to him once, his car was on Speedlines then.
Looks fairly low on 17's !
I used to know Rami and hrs g/f Becky (Who posted on here sometime ago)
I spoke with Becky a few months ago.. but don't think there together anymore!
Think Rami was from Leeds way? His yellow one did indeed die, someone said he put an Xe in it and it fell to bits? lol
He went on to build another one, a silver GSI with those wheels on it, full interior retrimmed in black leather, ice install etc etc Was very nice :D

lol it's had a few bumps though!
Im going to have to dig out all my historic pics arnt i!!
Some of those pics bring back memories!!
VPCC day at Trentham Gardens, John HIltons Nova, Siemon Bellis nova was there too i believe?? (this show was on the day Princess Diana died i think, remeber hearing it on the radio drivig to the show....??)
Damian Pitmans, the rusty rocket, Bretts, Martin Kelsons, Martin Weavers, Karls........
Ramis... i remember that day to!! 17" BBS style rims nice!! That was at York i think, i went in mine on the Sat and my mums on the Sunday... On the saturday me and Damian got done for speeding 100+ but got let off and the copper did us for 90mph 3 points and a fine!! pheww!!
DIY?? where the pics of the wide arch Nova, the Sprint kit arches etc?? Rob Smith (Spiderman) has this kit for his spider i believe??
As for my mums Red 1992 K GSi its still mint all original apart from GForce Sport 200 disk and pads (cheaper to but than Vaux O.E stuff!!) and a JP exhaust....
Rick Draper, it had a bump up front which was sorted and while it was being repaired it had 2 new inner wings and wings, bonnet, front panel, grill, and it had a new rear panel fitted while it was there as it was getting rusty!! (no rear end shunt!!) the following year Adrian Culley gave it a full respray due to traditional red paint fade!! The car at the mo hasn't turned a wheel for ages, its been in the garage a home and its plugged into the mains with one of those draper charger jobbies, and it fires up perfectly when ever ive tried it!!
If someone offers the right money it will be sold!! if not i might use it
Howell!! you going to show your face soon?!?!!

Martin, do you know where Rami is from ?

Looks fairly low on 17's !
Don't know him personally mate, always looked for his car at the shows though- looked truly awesome at one point with the BBS's on it. One of few genuine cars full of different ideas.
What an excellent original colour too!!
Real shame it got scrapped, was just begging for an XE in it.
Think Rami was from Leeds way? His yellow one did indeed die, someone said he put an Xe in it and it fell to bits? lol

Ahh the Fast Car featured one - Gotcha.
Another one to watch out for this year (If it's done in time) is this one - It's being TOTALLY stripped down and rebuilt much like Brett W's was - down to the last bolt!!
I'm not going to say who's it is or the plans for it as I've been asked not to - So if people do know then please don't say!! :-

RICK'S IN DA HOUSE!! After a forced absence courtesy NTL I'm BACK!!!
Back few notes (to Ian Searles peppermint car) someone asked about the GSE badge....
, GSE was because the car was half GTE and half GSI (and half 1.0 merit, so that should be 1/3rd gte, 1/3rd gsi and 1/3rd merit.)
hang on, it's got a corsa engine.....
So it's 33% gsi, 33% gte, 20% merit and 3% corsa.
That's only 89%. The other 11% is ...................
RUST!!!!!!

Ahhh - that brings back memories - finished putting engine in about at 10pm - a quick blast up the road and then off to the pub to celebrate !!

Not according to the guy on Mig who saw the car when it was all smashed up! I remember him saying that it still had the viper stripes and the 15's had been nicked or something..

I must have been some barry boy when I was younger.. I remember all those features bar the first one lol... Whats that interior all about!
Unfortunelty Breeny I remember them all!! :oops:
The interior on the Nova is a replica of a interior that Carisma did on a feature R5GTT - It was the one they built after the 'Ali G' one I think.
If you look at the scan from Jim you'll see that the mag with the R5GTT feature is open on the passenger seat.
A spotaneous round of applause and cheers for this post. It has brought me through dark days with happiness (since the penalty fuckup last night!!)

Yep, exactly right Jules. On the opposite page to the scan of the Interior it has Jamie shaws R5 and explains that the owner of the Nova basically used that as his refrence.

This was the first Nova i heard of with modded stub axles - welded 20mm higher on the beam. Springs were chassis dynamics. The car looked awesome on the day, mega clean and low but not running right.

Marcus's nova never had a 1.6. It started life as a 1.3SR in helious blue, and then he fitted an XE on 45's, 17's, GSI kit etc and had it featured in Max, front cover car!

http://img41.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/brunt.jpg[/img]
Oh shit it's me in my old car!!! GSI'd up SXI. Ran a 16.89 qtr at 81mph. 29th fastest out of 200 on the day!!! not bad to say it only had 1600 with a filterand exhaust and a fat passenger (and driver lol!!)
I'd just bought my shell for my purple valver, and immediately after Brunters, I gave my white nova to my girlfriend. I'd had it since it was 18months old (registered july 1992 i bought it jan 1994) and she sold it in '02 to buy a calibra!!

If we sticky it, it'll make no odds to pictures being deleted. Don't think we should start it again, but it would be nice if it got cleaned up a bit. Get some of the posts deleted that are general chit chat and keep the post to just pictures?
