personaly id lower it on some comps and keep the origional bits so if i wanted to put it back i could

[novacabrio]

Was this on Piston Heads? It looks as good in these pics as it did on there, the seller bought it to turn into a rally car I think and decided it was to good?

[Cle]

[ash anderson]

not a redtop sorry just a 1.3 ohc lol

wanted to put some softstars on it and lower it but im not too sure, may just keep it ina garage and have the odd weekend out as it does drive like a new one,

[NOVA13SPORT]

seen this on piston heads for sale, was very tempted but didn't want to tell the wife about it,
she goes crazy with me cause I have two in the garage that I don't drive

and I didn't want the hassle over a third


she looks great fella


Got pictures of it emailed and she looked a beauty
don't know how it wasn't away before now

good luck with it

[*Dave*]

imo id lower it approx 40mm on some 3 spokes..........job done

[16v Nova Kev]

she is a beauty.

[vaughanmc]

[Tommy_nova]

yea sounds like its him..
Tims got the red GTE on black speedlines :)




ASH, are you the lad im going to pvs with?

Mate of timmy GTE?

[Edd]

That's very clean.

Was looking at it also, I would seriously looked at buying it had I not already got the Sport.

Looks very well looked after.

[Joe Richardson]

looks lovely mate,well done for finding that one :thumb:

keep hold of it and watch it rise in value:)

[tim jones]

nice car mate,new you would end up behind the wheel of her after the 1st time we went to see it lol

[Southie]

Enjoy what is in my eyes a future classic, very rare in untouched form.
If you upgrade/modify it then keep the original parts as well just so that a later day you can put back standard.

On the otherhand if you decide to strip it and put bucket seats in then 1st dibs on the interior ;)

+rep for buying a top motor. :thumb:

[pikey1986]

very nice example, imo keep it standard and love it to bits

[Sloth]

speedlines, gsi facelift and an xe, job done. lol

[DAFTJOHN]

Very nice SR there:thumb:

[MattBrown]

speedlines, gsi facelift and an xe, job done. lol

Don't laugh.

He is putting softstars on it, lowering it, and an exhaust so im told:cry:

[Tommy_nova]

lol i dout it ^

[Sloth]

if he does, i'll steal it, make it std and givwe it to vauxhall.:thumb:

[ben doodar]

very nice, looks so good standard! i love the burberry check interior.
top motor!!

[grooge]

Don't laugh.

He is putting softstars on it, lowering it, and an exhaust so im told:cry:

you'll hate me then. I bought a similar car (red 48k b reg) in same condition in september and drove it all through winter (adding 8k), lowered it, oz alloys, 2l brakes, manifold, exhaust. got snap off wheel, 40s and a cam waiting to go on and thinking of xe'ing it next year lol got all the standard parts apart from the exhaust should i change my mind though. imo you shouldnt have to keep the car standard if you dont want to

[dannymcc]

Car looks very good mate :thumb:

[vaughanmc]

imo you shouldnt have to keep the car standard if you dont want to

Correct mate, yours to do what you want with it

[ash anderson]

the c exactly how i baught it is how it sits today, dont want to change lights tint windows etc as all the lights and windows are etched the number plate, i have put a 4-1 on it yesterday due to the old down pipe which was pants, vauxhall couldnt order one in time for pv from germany so its maybe only a tempory mesure untill a downpipe arrives in a scrap yeard etc,
i think i am going to pv,would like to put it on some standars three spokes and lower it a tiny bit thats about it ;)

[Sloth]

looky here for the exhaust:

http://www.vauxhall-car-parts.co.uk/acatalog/Nova_Fuel-Exhaust.html

[NathanSRi]

If that was mine, i'd probably lower it about 40mm and put some smart alloys on it and leave it at that. But unfortunately it's not mine lol Do what you want with it mate, but if you do add stupid modifications, jus don't put it on here :p

[NathanSRi]

but want a sound too ;)

Considered twin 40's?

[Tommy_nova]

Thats what i said when he first got it,
personaly i know ash as i used to live down the road from him, he called me asking what i would do to it if it was mine i replyed not alot.

lower it around 40mm maybe 60mm
3spoke gsi/gte wheels
change petrol cap
full stainless system
twin 40s

imo that would be the nuts then.

[ward]

minter there fella.

dont change a thing!!!!!!

[ash anderson]

ive thought about twin 40's just not sure how much it will rob me to do, kinda brassic atm lol

[novalovingned]

Awesome example. Perfect :)
