This is my nova that i bought 2 years ago now its started life as a very slow 1.2 merit+. I was orignally going to make my old corsa sri a project car but feel in love with my nova nad it had to be done. I have a 1.6 8v nova gte engine in my corsa and its because time for it in stock trim at the santa pod was 16.0 @ 84mph.
Me and my brother removed the engine and decided to build a powerful 1.6 8v with nitrous just to be different than the 1.6 26v or 2.0 16v. The engine has be bored out 0.20+ with oversized pistons 79.5mm balanced and cleaned. The head skimmed ported with 3 angle stainless steel valves with double valve springs. We are using a kent cam ast3 and twin 45 webers. I have a 4 branch manifold and custom 2 1/4 inch exhaust system. Haven't got he nitrous in yet its an on going project.
I have nova gte master and servo, braided goodridge brake lines 256mm brakes of a astra gte, Gaz coilovers all round, billet alloy top mounts, poly bushes, rose jointed tie rod ends, strut brace and still waiting for my roll cage from roll centre.
I load up more pictures as i get them of the progress....
