SR Track Project

[matt_vaughan]

Some of you may remember my old white car, as seen in my Avatar.

That was sold last November, and I bought a Corsa Sport as a daily for some "comfort and refinement" lol

I was, however, ever since, hankering for another Nova, but a fast one. Being only 19 and only having 2 years no claims, a quick Nova would be pretty expensive for insurance.

So, after a friend offered me this GSi Rep SR, and checking the shell to find one of the mintest shells, I just had to have it....for a very very good price. :thumb:

Here are some quick pics of how it was sat when I first got it.

Major points:

- 300 HP Rated Motorsport shafts and hubs
- Strengthening kit fitted (however missing seam welds so that's on the to do list)
- Fully Polybushed
- Powdercoated Tie Bars & Anti-roll bar

The plan is to remove the overspray on the paintwork, which is coming up well as we found trying with some fine sandpaper.

Current plan is for a C20NE 8 Valve Turbo, but I also have a C20XE lieing around here, so we may opt for the slightly simpler option first.

Thoughts & Opinions Welcome.

shell looks very clean, and chuck an xe in there if you got it laying about

I've decided the XE is going to be the most reliable option.

Will still be building a boosted NE once the XE is in, but we want the car out for the end of this season for a couple track days.

Will probably look at bike carbs, and also look at having a few manifolds made up by a fabricator.
