[L33 LEG]

Welcome.

If i was you, i would consider doing the conversion yourself and learning on your way. Yes it'll take a bit longer but you will have to wait a bit before being able to insure it anyway.

[svlet]

alex maris it is over 500bhp its a true monster hes looking to get it mot'd soon

l33 leg for some odd reson my insurance is messed up due to the fact i can insure any car pritty much and its cheap cheap dont ask me why they must be making a mistake at thier end . are convrsions hard to do due to the fact i have only ever taken an engine out of a nissan pulsar and never had to put it back in i have little machanical know how?

Hmmm when they get it right and stop making mistakes they will bum rape you for it.

However if you want to do it fine, the things you may slip up on would be the likes of the welding/wireing/altenator cut out (or pikey bash out) etc

Some companys do a drive in drive out for a sensible price if you have no knowledge at all.

where are you located?

So you have rang them up and told them about a conversion and its still cheap? hmm, fair enough then :wtf:

where are you located? montrose in scotland and untill they get it right i aint going to tell them i aint tht bad at welding but the wiring would be scary lol

and thanks every one for the welcoms

[mowgli]

trust me on this... the wiring is the easy bit

[Angus Closier]

Could also then make your insurance invalid?? Not a good idea any age let alone driving a nova at 17. The police would be all over you.

Wiring is not that hard if you have the diagram and this forum to help you out. Wouldnt take much work tbh most of it is done you just swap it over to the nova and adjust slightly.:thumb:

[Stuart]

And now you get a polite warning about text typing/clearly dropping letters from words (typos are one thing)

[svlet]

the police hate me anyways and thier stupid they are going to pull me over no matter what am driving and thanks i thought the wiring would be crazyly complicated lol


just to make sure people know i might only be 17 but i do not want to put a big body kit on a nova especially a mk1 they look the best just thought id stop anyone thinking that all young boys want to do this to a nova

[svlet]

And now you get a polite warning about text typing/clearly dropping letters from words (typos are one thing) you couldnot have a quick look over my advert for a silk violet c20let and make sure its fine could you its in the for sales section already thanks

[svlet]

So you have rang them up and told them about a conversion and its still cheap? hmm, fair enough then :wtf: i can insure a subaru inmpreza wrx for £862.11 is that cheap enought

[kik]

17 and from montrose says it all to be honest

forgot to say welcome along

They will hate you even more, along with lots of people on this forum if its not insured correctly keep it to yourself on here:thumb:

Id rather you had a body kit at 17 than a valver. At least the only thing you can damage with a body kit is my eyes..lol

[svlet]

thanks from the 2 people from scotland and it is properly insured they have just messed up at thier end and i gatherd the fact some people on hear stick to the law very well and hate people crossing it

Hmm it dont go down well. Just be careful as I dont doubt they would try to stick it on you rather than them making a mistake.:thumb:

don't worry too much about us, the ones of us who have been on here for a long time have had to deal with some very dodgy stuff that people have posted on here... the nova had such a bad reputation that has taken years to try & put right that we have a low opinion of illegal stuff posted on here.. we do take the piss massively & enjoy the craic, but we try to help people with their cars. another nova being used is what we want to see. do what you want with your car, you will be the owner.

welcome to the madhouse!

[mk1nova_rich]

welcome and good luck with getting a Mk1 :) give it a couple of years before the XE. It is a good idea to build up your mechanical knowledge first as no doubt it will give you trouble

Welcome to the forum buddy
give it a few years before an XE or LET tho, if you driving it, the last thing you want to be worrying about is that the engine aint fitted properly lol

:tosser:


lol nice welcome there.

Welcome along mate, As others have said the best way to do a conversion is do it yourself or have someone there that no's what there doing to help you, Tbh honest you dont need a Xe at 17 a 1.6 out a corsa sport would be plenty for driving for a few years. I had a 1.4sri engine in my old one. Good to see another scottish member :thumb:
