View Full Version : Nova in max power
Saw on the cover 'retro nova' so had a lil looksie,
it's a 'resprayed moss green' mk2 with a '200 bhp xe' 18yr old called rob (18yr old with a 200bhp xe bet that's high insurance :roll: )
looks quite smart and was just wondering if it's anyone on here?
Sorry if it's a repost :p
Reg is k380 aur if that helps at all?
ooh has it got a filter & decat???
The enquiry is complete

Recent years they seem to have 2 teams, one covers some actually really well done jap stuff from the top tuning companies over there (like courtenay/regal etc except they actually build cars rather than bolting filters on for 17yo's all day) the other see's how much fibreglass they can squeeze on the pages.
pics? Not buying, max powah lol
there is a thread already up, belonged and built by a lad on here even though the kid in lax pooer claims to have built it!

Can't get pics as I am on holiday and only got my iPhone,
for 200bhp it's has a crazy spec of four branch manifold, janspeed stainless exhaust system and a pipercross filter, suprised it's not near 300bhp tbh lol
apparently in the mag he's now sold it and bought a 220bhp brand new Corsa

In max power, that's the standard power of a 1.2
i did some work at the building where max power is created..... their carpark was not exactly awe inspiring there was a 2tone 206sw with matching roofbox, in light & dark brown!! it was foul.. the bike mag lads next door were hilarious though... they climbed up on the top of an enormous compactor skip to get a photo of a sports bike, and then one of them rode round the service yard at high speed in smaller & smaller circles till they got the shot they wanted.... hardly jetsetting, but fun.. then they had one of those 3wheel scooter things, and the office junior forgot to lock the suspension & also forgot to put his foot down...splat!
FLOL at that being "moss green" lol
that was my car, lying little f***er
it wasnt 200bhp, 150bhp if your lucky more like lol and he hasnt got a 220bhp corsa now, i believe he thinks hes building a 250bhp tb'd xe corsa track car, kid hasnt got a clue!
i remember seein that on here the cage stands out...chheky **** for takin credit

And what differnce does it make if he,s 18 with a xe nova there dog slow golf diesels are quicker.
I had a corsa gsi xe as my first car (and it was 2.0 insurance) sold it after 6 months because it was poo and got a e30 325.
I had an XE Nova when i was 18, and then, when i was 19, a 300zx Twin Turbo manual, and then a Disco 1! Haha

lmao off at you saying there slow must have been something wrong with yours , a golf diesel is not quicker u **** lol lol and there also quicker than a 325
XE Novas aren't slow... but they're far from fast
But that extra 21 bhp makes all the difference in the BMW lol

i dont no how you can say that , they are fast, and are faster than a 325 bmw alot lighter thats how i can get away with saying that
A little birdie tells me Max Power is now dead......
That birdie may not be right, just passing rumour on.

Ive got a big pile of 90s max power magazines from 93, to 99'
loads of novas, rs turbos etc.. max power now is rubbish
Max does cover some decent stuff now, but if you don't like big power JDM then you won't like it. I don't buy it or any mag btw.
I want to see one of the old tapes I had with Ambrose in his Clio 16v and Project Thunder. lol
ive only bought it once in about 4 years, and thats only because it had my mates memorial cruise in it....same page coverage as Trax lol
im glad its gone now, was only ever rubbish in there.
only bought it once, and that was to see my old car!

Pretty easily, when the Celica I drive every day could run rings round my old XE, and the V6 would leave one for dead in a straight line lol
Nippy, yes... fast, not really.
