Well when I bought the civic my plan was always to have one of these after.I have been on the lookout for one for a couple of months and went to view a couple the other week but due to one reason or another they weren't really what I was looking for but then this one came up for sale 3 miles away from home!
I went and viewed it then went back home had a good think about it then went to view it again the week after(in the meantime texting/speaking the owner daily trying to come to some sort of deal) and in the end I got a very good deal (in my eyes anyway)

It needs some tidying up but all of the others I went to see needed it and it's an excuse to get it perfect as I'm in no rush as I'm using an old banger golf for the time being!
It's a vx220 2.2 n/a with fsh(all done at either adrian blyth or vauxhall main dealer) and 59k
Milltek backbox
Turbo wheels
Turbo front splitters
And the front and rear lights have been resealed and sprayed black.

Edd - yeah I wanted a Red one, I had money saved up for a house I ended up not going for, I settled on one slightly cheaper and I had £7500 left over, I wasn't going to be spending that on a Nova lol.

I'll have another Nova - just as a long term project, not a 2nd car, I want a 2nd car to drive.
