See who can spot anything for a nova in the pics lol. Look at the size of the exhaust manifold, its stands him 750 pounds its the SBD thats been heat wrapped. Full SBD throttle bodie kit and many other mods should be in total vauxhall when he finishes it very soon.

the nova will be coming out to play soon, as the weather is getting better. Cant wait to see both of them together it will be the first time both brothers have had both cars on the road at the same time.
Very nice, i likes a nice astra GTE, i thought that colour on an astra was referred to as 'techno-violet'

No, thats a BMW colour.
Silk Violet was a GTE colour on the hatch & convertible.

No not the wheels, no one spoted the white nova boot in the gte pictures lol.
Any idea what power that's making/mods? Or is it just the obvious throttle bodies, exhaust and cams (solid or hydraulic lifters)? I have a reason for the questions lol
What management also lol

TV have already had a silk violet TB'd mk2 GTE on their pages already.
Car looks good though, I hope it will get used properly.

2.1 non forged with arp's hydraulic lifters, MBE 967I management and loom, Fast road cams, manifold and bodies, Not too mental but nice on the road Im sure as it will be used every day during winter months. The car does remind me of that silk violet that was in TV a few months ago but cant help but love the gte
