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

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.

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!

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.

XE Novas aren't slow... but they're far from fast

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

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.
