For Sale: Nova SRi - 2.0 16v track car

[kevw]

BUY IT NOW £2300 - I WILL NOT BREAK THE CAR - I WILL NOT SWAP THE CAR

If you are interested then please PM me on here and I will respond. I will not reply to any nonsense so don't bother!!

I have very reluctantly decided to sell my Vauxhall Nova SRi track-car project.

This is a full running car but I would class it as a long term project as most Nova's are these days. Up until a few weeks ago it was fully insured, MOT'd and taxed and I regularly went for the odd blast in it. Apart from that it's just sat there and I can no longer justify it due to other commitments.

There are a few bits and bobs that I had planned to do, these would be upto the new owner to either leave as-is or change/upgrade. I bought the car with the 2.0 16v engine already in and the roll cage was already in, it has been an on going project for me. It'll be a great head start for someone looking to build a track car.

There is no tax. The MOT is just out. I MOT'd it a year ago without any problems, although it is very low and the MOT tester had problems getting it on the ramp! It has probably only done about 500 miles since the last MOT and about 1000 since I've owned it.

This is a 1991 Vauxhall Nova SRi that was originally white. It's now registered as a yellow 2.0L.

Inside the car:
Stripped out inside, there is no dash and all redundant brackets from around the car have been removed.
2 x Cobra Evolution S seats in Kevlar with Sparco 4 point harnesses (this lot was pricey!) - hardly used
Full welded in roll cage of unknown origin
Snap off steering wheel
Race Technology Dash 2 (http://www.race-technology.com/dash2_2_31.html) display unit (speed, revs, temp, fuel etc) - hardly used. Comes with PC software and serial cable to allow configuration
Carbon fibre door and rear 1/4 panel trims
Inside is painted Vauxhall Anthracite (metallic black)Exterior:

The car had a full respray in "Fiat Giallo Sole" (yellow) 2 years ago, at the time 2 mint condition doors were fitted and 2 new wings. The rear arches are now on their way out, they could be repaired but my plan was to fit new 1/4 panels.
The car has a standard SRi rear bumper and spoiler and a GSi front bumper which was brought brand new 2 years ago.
The doors have been de-handled and there are switches underneath each door mirror that open the doors.

Engine:
Vauxhall 2.0 16v XE
Full Roose Motorsport hose set, this is the full set and includes pipes behind the engine that you can hardly see!
Power cap
Aluminium water bottle
Unsure what exhaust is fittedSuspension:

Front: Spax -60mm shocks and springs
Rear: Spax rear dampers and -100mm springs

Brakes:

Astra GTE 16v discs and calipers, standard rear drums

Wheels:

16" Speedline Allessio in black

Stuff I have that is not yet fitted:
Roose Motorsport inlet hose (brand new)
Pipercross cone filter (used)
Aluminium navigators footrest (brand new)
MK1 interior door handles (used), this means drilling the carbon fibreStuff that I feel needs to be done:
The rear arches need repairing or renewing.
It has odd tyres, my plan was to get some wear out of them and then replace all 4. They're coming up for needing changing now.
The cambelt cover is not fitted as I do not have the rubber fittings for it. These are easily available but I have never got round to it. Once the cambelt cover is fitted the Roose inlet hose and cone filter can go on.
It's had a new front panel at some point and I have always found it hard to get the headlights to line up correctly, for the last MOT I had to use tie wraps instead of screws on the passenger side headlight to move it forwards so that the headlight aim was correct, I've never been too bothered by this with it being a track car.
The electric windows aren't wired up so are permanently in the up position. I have the loom and switches. My plan was to fit polycarbs.
The exhaust is a tight fit over the rear beam and needs adjusting so that it doesn't vibrate. I'll try and sort this.http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg240/kev-w/ebay/IMAG0568.jpg

PM sent. Thanks.

I now have this car, and it's up for sale.

I bought it from Kev, put a brand new MoT on it, and had a deal arranged to sell it straight on to a friend of mine.........but he has now decided he can't afford it.

Any serious enquiries can be sent to me at;

colinesmith@aol.com

I am happy to sell it without the expensive bits like the seats, wheels, digital dash etc. if someone wants it to be cheaper.

NO TIMEWASTERS OR DREAMERS, IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT THE CASH, DON'T CONTACT ME!

Alternatively, and I don't want to, but I will break it for parts if there are enquiries.

[novarally]

Way too many timewasters (no change there then)............

So, if I haven't taken a deposit on this by the weekend as it is described above, I will be removing the seats, the Race Technology dash, carbon fibre bits and the wheels and replacing those with cheaper/standard items, and obviously reducing the price.

Would you be taking the Roose hose's off Colin?

Would you be taking the Roose hose's off Colin?

Only if I break it up completely, as I haven't got a set of standard hoses to replace the Roose ones.

At the moment it looks highly likely that I will strip it right down though, as I am utterly sick of timewasters.

If I do strip it, the fancy bits will go on EBAY. Thanks.

Just so you know, the roll cage was build but a roll cage maker for race cars and circuit/oval race cars. Guys called Ben Mathews (BM Motorsport)

Thanks for that, it certainly is a nice installation on the cage, so it's no surprise to learn that it was professionally done.

Yes, I still have it, and it is still all in one piece as I've been too busy to start stripping it.

I want £2500 for the car as it is, it now has a standard plastic header tank (brand new) in place of the alloy tank, but other than that it is exactly as described by Kevin in his original advert, although of course it now has a new MoT on it.

I am not interested in offers, the price is firm.

E-mail me if you have the cash and are serious.

Thanks.

lol

[taffnova]

if you break pm me on seats many thanks

[novarally]

If I break, the seats will go on EBAY, I have loads of people wanting them.

[novarally]

One last BTTT for this as a complete car - £2500.

If no takers I will start to strip the good bits off it next week, and then re-advertise it with cheaper bits fitted.

And NO MORE TIMEWASTERS!

E-mail;

[novarally]

The revised version of this car is being listed on EBAY tonight, I will post up the link later.

A nice cheap road/track XE Nova for someone.
