Nova Van

[Rickardo]

I have been offered this in a swap for my Egg, read the build thread.

I remember seeing it at Trax 08 i think.

Any more info would be good.

[Rysee]

Always liked it

[John]

Nice van, is it still the same as in the build thread? if so i'd say good swap. I also thought the van in the stand today with t45xe in was a good buy at 2650 (iirc)

[MattBrown]

Gmaxx ftl

But, whats it like condition wise now? looks good in them pics?

[Rickardo]

The owner sent me some pics, looked the same tbh, and the spec was the same.

John, i had a quick look at the van on the stand. Looked good. I have no cashola so a swap looks like a good idea.

[Cle]

I like the Egg, but i need a Nova. Its your fault for letting me drive yours today.

If you want to earn so "cashola" if you do swap it sell me the front seats :d I'll even swap a red SRi interior + cash, I'm desperate here :cry:

GMAX is ****.

Also take your ARBs off and sell them on

[nova_saloon]

i see the original builder from time to time kitt1972 and saw him like 3 weeks ago not even that. he done a great job on it, and if its the same take it. im sure he will be pleased to see it in nice hands. how much does the guy want for it?

[GRUNT 16V]

Looks ok but i would question the so called 174 bhp !!!!! its only had a cool running thermostat and a group N chip !!

You're surprised a mobile dyno at a car show isn't accurate and shows big numbers to woo the crowds?

[Rickardo]

i would, your corsa is a bit of a nail

lol lol.

It might look a nail, but it has the right components on it.

[Southie]

Rick besides the shape of the car what are the reasons for owning the van, it's no better than the Corsa IMO, okay it does look better but the corsas just as good.

[Spudly]

When in the hell did you go all gay? :eek:

[AlexW]

I gayed him up spud.

I do love that van though, the original builder (on here) was a nice chap too.

[Mike]

When in the hell did you go all gay? :eek:

Srsly thought, Nova vans have got terrible blind spots & youll soon hate the fact its a van wether the rear beam is broked or not.

[RETRONOVA]

I recently bought some lowering springs of a chap that lives near to me, when I turned up at his house to collect them (Crawley west Sussex) he spied my nova and started showing me photos and telling me all about this blue nova van he built! YES the one you are thinking of purchasing’ He said he wouldn’t mind buying it back given the chance, hurry up and get it before I let him know lol

[stupot89]

mike i dont find the blind spots too bad on mine

[Southie]

When in the hell did you go all gay? :eek:
When I joined this site darling lol

[blue_peg_16v]

i thought being gay was a prerequizit on this site lol

[Rickardo]

Dave, i don't know the answer to that. I like the Egg, it will out handle the Nova, thats for sure..

The thing is it's not a Nova..

Van = minter get it love nova vans and would take the offer think there buet cant you tranfer a normal windown nova into them ?

[Nova_Sean]

[Mike]

Van = minter get it love nova vans and would take the offer think there buet cant you tranfer a normal windown nova into them ?

No you cant just remove the panels an put glass in there.

BTW, Nova vans are pretty **** (IMO) dire when your on the motorway for blind spots like any car derived van.

You my friend have a serious problem then...

[Graeme]

I thought it was yours and Lee's roadtrip this weekend? Whan are you looking at the van?

[duck-sri]

dont find the nail comments very re-assuring........ :wtf:

[Rickardo]

The corsa is far from a nail. They just don't like them. It's had lots of go faster goodies added.


Graeme, going Scotland tomorrow morning. Hopefully looking next weekend at the van

[Graeme]

The corsa is a very well spec'd car just had too much to live up to after the Nova turbo and definately fitted the bill of the car you were after, once the Nova had gone

[duck-sri]

gonna have a valet of the van today, ill post some pictures up later, and the 174bhp may be optimistic, but its what it says on the printout, how reliable the place it was took idk, i didnt take it!!

ill be sad to see it go, just always fancied a corsa valver, thats if we come to a deal

:-)

[Southie]

Rick you'll never be happy until you get another turbo Nova, I'd just wait and save some brass up then nearer the time sell the corsa ;)

Dave, I've got £1100 hidden from the wife. So if the nova deal doesn't work out, I might just strip all the expensive bits off the egg and build another turbo Nova.

[Graeme]

Rick you should of got that one of here, the blue one I linked to you, looks like its changed hands now someones fitted a let and got it on ebay for over five grand :eek: :eek: :eek:
