sorry but my nova had to go it was a problem child for me one thing after another. so i have now sold it and i have bought a Toyota mr2 gt. i know i know its not a vauxhall sorry. i am going to be on the look out for another nova very soon to use as a family car and keep as standard as i can (maybe lower it as mine wasa monster truck standard lol ) if im allowed i will still be coming to the shows with you. but will have to park my car behind everyone to hide my shame :thumb: so anyone with a tiny nova 1.0 litre or less. for insurance then let me know i will have a budget of £200 ish in about 2 weeks to buy one with so keep your eye's peeled for me cheers lots of luv james. AKA fred :wtf:

just got my wire's crossed and i have relised it is a nova with mr2 shell bolted to it (hope that keeps wwmnw happy) and the car looks like its in great condition. its a uk model so shouldnt get to much rot on it. whats wrong with a nova being a family car? it has 4 and a 1/2 seats :D

uk ones rot more due to being on our roads all of their life, unlike japs that here here 1/2 thier life. has it had acambelt and water pump and coolant change? suspension bushes? brakes? battery? epas issues?

it has had a cam belt and water pump but i will give it a good damn service when i pick it up on sunday. so i know its all fine. im picking it up from reading so it will have to endure a 200 mile trip home then i can go over it with a fine tooth pick to make sure it is in great condition. will get my missus to take her test soon so she can drive the next nova to the shows. do you think i could get a nova loon and chop it up to fit the shell over the mr2? just for giggles at the show's?

I'd ****ing hate to take an engine out just to do a cambelt or a general service.

Nope, I don't think an MR2 (mk2 anyway) is particularly bad to work on - when a lot of cars are awkward with little room in the engine bay to get at things now.
