think there was a thread about this a little while ago i think it looks cool and by the amount of bits on it its prob worth the money

[Mike]

LOLz I can think of a lot better things to spend that kinda cash on. And they aint Vauxhalls lol lol

[Andy]

LOLz I can think of a lot better things to spend that kinda cash on. And they aint Vauxhalls lol lol
+rep Michael.
Why anyone would spend that on a Vauxhall Nova is beyond comprehension.
Your talking Cosworth money there

[turbojolt]

Sorry guys didn't realise it was up before Inever noticed it lol

[simonm]

i have to agree with you guys on this one i wouldnt spend my own money on it any way id prob put it towards a monaro or similar lol there cheap these days

also did any body see top gear the other night and see what they baught with that sort of money

[Mike]

Mk1 Focus RS, Mazda RX7, Supra TT, BMW X5, Range Rover TDV6, Sierra Cosworth, rough is Escort Cosworth, Evo7 or lesser model, Porsche Boxster S, BMW 850CSi, E36 M3, E46 M3, Z3 M Coupé, Audi S3, Audi RS6 blah blah blah the list is endless of better performance or prestige cars for the same cash.....

[simonm]

that is a good list youd pick up a evo 5 or so for nearly half and just about 300 horse outa the box and unleash a lot more horses with little pay out

[MK999]

Mk1 Focus RS, Mazda RX7, Supra TT, BMW X5, Range Rover TDV6, Sierra Cosworth, rough is Escort Cosworth, Evo7 or lesser model, Porsche Boxster S, BMW 850CSi, E36 M3, E46 M3, Z3 M Coupé, Audi S3, Audi RS6 blah blah blah the list is endless of better performance or prestige cars for the same cash.....

To be fair most of that are probably in worse nick or lower performance than the Nova, but I doubt I'd spend 7k on it either, I'd be looking at an s2000 with 4k to spend on parts, or a very well sorted skyline for that money.... or that Manta A project I've been wanting for years lol

[Mieran]

lol, so dont buy a nova but another old rot box haha

Has to be Evo at that price for me

[Gaz1300SR]

No Nova is worth that kinda money imo.

[simonm]

lol, so dont buy a nova but another old rot box haha

Had a Evo 4 with bout 350 horse and was a serious car beast on petrol tho but a well properly sorted car and was all for a lot less than that car is

[Bubba]

worth a bit...but not that much...but then again, if someone is willing to spend that much on it good luck!

for 7k i would by my cav turbo...and be a happy bunny :)

[Southie]

Good spec and I couldn't build one for that as I'm a office boy, worth it tbh.

Im sure you will agree with me when I say just about everything on your list their will cost a hell of a lot more to maintain,insure and enjoy Mike!

Without a shadow of a doubt definetly true, but seriously, shelling out seven large on a Nova :S youd have to be off your head on crack to even contemplate doing that :S

And its not as if its going to significantly go up in value over time as Novas, and GM on a whole dont have the childhood dream appeal compared to 80's Fords, they will never ever demand the same kinda money as RS 1600i's for example.

We all have our different poisons I guess! Im a huge fan of the series one also. After owning series two and fiesta turbos its the only one that has eluded me as I could find one good enough for what I wanted to spend at the time. But getting back to this......... My point is the cars were from a similar era and originally priced not too far apart for similar model specs. The only thing that seperates them now is person choice and desirability but I see no reason why a person owning a rare immaculate example of a nova shouldnt ask strong money as someone will pay it even if the seller has to wait a while! But I will agree to disagree with you on this one Mike!

Im not anti Nova, just a realist. If I was anti Nova, I wouldnt have fúcking owned several would I you plank, nor would I still be here or attend shows surround by loads of them.

If Fords are as ****e as you say, please tell my why Escort Cosworth's STILL fetch £18k, an RS Turbos upto £8k lol hell even R5 GTT's go for £3k upwards along with 205 GTi's.

And please, where have I TOLD anyone what to buy, just merely opening options as to what the best part of eigth thousand pounds of your hard earned cash can buy you, as oppose to a GM.

But hey, I forgot a lot of people on here must be deluded as they've only owned GM;s thus only know how Vauxhalls work, so everthing else is crap. Sorry, my bad.

Exactly Nick, my point being, I never grew up wanting a Nova, it wasnt my dream car. I wanted 205 GTi's, R5 GTT's, RS Turbos. They were the cars to have when I was young, hence me never really wanting a Nova so to speak.

But apparently that makes me anti Nova Flol Yeah ok, Novas seem to be going up in price slightly now, but other marques have rocketed due to there childhood dream appeal, an probably rarer then Nova's now.

[brainsnova]

I was disappointed as I always thought it was a genuine sport :cry: I'd put 7k towards a 911 turbo

[Mieran]

youre still not making sense, and escorts still fetch over 10k because people on the ford scene have money, vauxhall scene is budget based hence why when a thread like this pops up everyone is like OMFG

and if vauxhalls are so **** why are you wasting your time, surely be better to invest in a ford?

How am I not making sense?? LMAO of course thers money in the GM how else would you sell a Nova for £7k if there wasnt, hell do you think all these Cossie owners actually drive there cars? Do they **** on the whole, Ive read numerous threads on RSOC & even MLR about people having to SORN the pride & joy because they cant afford to run it anymore.

Where did I say Vauxhalls in general are shÃ*t? The newer ones are pretty good cars, just built cheap unfortunatly.

[ryansnova]

i wouldnt spend 7k on a nova c20ex enyway i would spend that on a sport though....

i would keep one eye open at all times and buy a HSR shevett project first but :)

[womble sri]

Lol at all the posts!!! i bought this today :)

[womble sri]

Without a shadow of a doubt definetly true, but seriously, shelling out seven large on a Nova :S youd have to be off your head on crack to even contemplate doing that :S

And to drive a 1200 mile round trip just to view it!!!!

[ryansnova]

Lol at all the posts!!! i bought this today :)


lol i really like it mate, congrats mate ;)

[brainsnova]

Lol at all the posts!!! i bought this today :)

Sorry to hear that lol the boy probs spent twice that building it.

[womble sri]

Sorry to hear that lol the boy probs spent twice that building it.

On the parts alone!!! Had a good look through all the reciepts today, has a folder full of them! I've been without a nova for nearly three years and wanted a new toy, saw this come up and it was if it was meant to be lol , having it transported down in the week plans are to drive it for a bit till september and then take it off the road for the winter and the strip it down to make sure everything is ok engine/box wise and then put my own touch on it - Sport rep maybe and some more power its a lovely car as it stands but needs to be made my own! As other have said ots a lot of money for a nova but its a lot of nova for the money and i caould not build one like that if i wanted to! Fell in love with it when i saw it Total Vauxhall still have the mag!

[mrT]

congrats on buying it, i wouldnt think it needs anything doing to it apart from driven hard as i know the guy looked after it, one thing i would advise is get it on a proper rolling road just to be sure all is well as you should with any car with this amount of modifications for peace of mind and may well save you a little fortune should something be wrong, ppl say its a lot of money which it is but obviously you bought it for what it is and what it can do, like many posts on here yeah you could but a mint series one/evo with 400 brake etc, but end of the day this car would eat them all for breakfast without trying and thats what this car is about, imo a concours standard car is more hassle/boring and hard to enjoy without worrying about it, so enjoy baiting/abusing "supercars" and losing your licence lol

[Alex J]

ive just spent £3700 on a nova again, but i think it was worth it as it will only go up in value IMO, plus it was the same model i passed my test in:cool:

[womble sri]

Cheers Mr T, why do you say that? it seemed to run line a dream? Will it be worth having ot mapped up? its on EDS management, do you know if they are an out the box hi/low boost maps or can the chips be reprogrammed? Think ill ring regal! Got a lot of learning to do about lets!

[Stuart]

So thats what you will be bringing round for a once over lol

I shall reply to the PM now ;)

[Nick J]

Without doubt Im sure you will enjoy your purchase Womble. Did you get the plate with it? I think I would remove the graphics If it was mine as It would look more subtle and less recognisable If thats what your after. Engine wise If it doesnt have a wideband setup then thats what I would have fitted as then you will have piece of mind that the fuelling is ok. Im unsure on Regal as Ive heard many bad reports over the years but Specky works for Rs Tuning in leeds and has fantastic C20let knowledge so maybe that would be a better option If you want it checking and setting up. As far as Im aware you cant re write the map on eds chips but I could be wrong. Standalone management systems are the ones that can be re-mapped and tailored to suit the cars needs but are expensive to do so.

Nick.

[Mike]

And to drive a 1200 mile round trip just to view it!!!!

Worth every penny imo liked that car before i liked nova's lol

[Spudly]

Well done mr Womble, another fine nova under your belt, youve always seemed to have tidy clean examples and here is another one, just dont park it like you did your old white SRi lol


As others have said the asking price is way more than i could ever justify paying for a nova but some are starting to fetch massive monies now, i was gobsmacked when Nic Caro's nova sold for upwards of £4k iirc, and that was three or four years back now, hell look at what merris said earlier in this thread, he has just paid £3700 for what is basically a 1.3 SR thats still running a smallblock carb 1300, hell thats tidy let nova money all day long, but as has always been the case, the car is always worth, what the seller wants to pay and nothing more!

[womble sri]

Thanks Nick, it has a lumination air/fuel meter and display in the car so i assume that will allow me to monitor any fuel starvation? Looks wise im not to sure i was looking over sports last night and love them to bits, although this dealersport is unique but its not my own and i have always been fond of sleepers myself. As for management i guess ill have to find a RR a bit more local and see what management they are able to map. I'll ask Stu if he knows anywhere as im sure he will now that his interested in seeing the car lol

[womble sri]

and yes had to have the plate

[mrT]

no theres defo not anything wrong with it its just what i'd have done for my own piece of mind, tbh last time i spoke to him there was a problem with the fuel pump which he had replaced and he said it has never went wrong otherwise, i'd leave the running gear as in engine/gbox as it is imo as its been on the go a while and never went wrong so not worth messing about with it imo, im just pissed off a little bit as i really wanted the car and offered good money for it a while back but he would'nt sell it and when he does i have no funds, anyway enjoy and have fun :)

[Edd]

Very nice buy there Mr Womble, one of my fav big blocks

Price was a bit high IMO, but if you want the best you pay it

Styling wise I think it looks awesome but I completely understand you wanting to put your own touch on it

[christurboo]

so thats the rant over because someone not on crack has bought it

[Mike]

so thats the rant over because someone not on crack has bought it

lol no, not at all, not even a rant, merely pointing out the obvious & saying what many are/were thinking. Yeah ok, it looks nice & its built nice, but IMO its not £8k nice lol Suppose it means I could sell my Corsa once finished for about £5.5k though, which is nice.

[Lee H]

Luminition Air/fuel meter is narrowband IIRC so about as much use as a chocolate fireguard for monitoring fuelling.

[womble sri]

Thanks lee so can i buy a narrowband lamda to work with the display? I have searched and not had much joy.

[Nick J]

Thanks lee so can i buy a narrowband lamda to work with the display? I have searched and not had much joy.

Your best bet is to just buy a wideband kit. (approx £150 for an aem item) they are easily fitted and will give you piece of mind for as long as you own the car.

Nick.

[Stuart]

I'll echo other comments on your views, you say this for each and every expensive Nova that comes for sale. You like Nova's? Yet your builds were never completed in the main, you had some nice bits at times, but never out the money where the mouth is, it's always the same story with a lot of people. I don't think I could pay 7k either, but it wouldn't be because of what else I could get, it'd be because you're always buying someone elses car.

Cosworth money? What a ****ty ugly Sierra Sapphire? They're as badly built IMO as Nova's and Nova's are more eye catching IMO too.

Womble - great buy, always fancied doing a rep of this with an XE for a basher...one day!

No "S" thank you please :thumb: Ive only ever owned 5 Nova's. Out of those 5, only 2 were project threads on here. Out of those 2, only 1 was broken for parts :thumb:

What do you mean by this> but never out the money where the mouth is ?

£8k is rought Escort Cosworth money, TOP END Sierra Cosworth money. Average Focus RS money.

Are you another person who cant deal with realist's aswell? Or am I the only person on here who'll happily speak there mind, iterate what others are thinking & say it. I would never ever in a million fcuking years pay £7750 for a Nova. Thats my opinion, deal with it.

Fcuk, lets look at the bigger picture, £8k is a deposit on a house? A 3 week stay 5 star in Sydney for 2, enough travel the world for 12 months, enough for 350hp turbocharged jet ski & still have change to buy a landy 90 & trailer to pull it!!

[Adam]

Personally I agree with you entirely Mike. BUT if people are willing to pay serious money for a nova then thats down to them....

What really narks me though, is a LOT of poeple on here are ready to jump on the band wagon slating other marques, when all theyve ever owned is either Nova's or something from the GM brand. Thats what really gets on my tits. (not pointed at you Edd, just in general.)

There in same shÃ*t but cool list as:

Montego Turbo (210bhp as standard but still epicly w@nk)
Nissan BlueBird Turbo (hmmm, nah just w@nk)
Panda 4x4 (good idea, badly executed)
Mazda 323HF Turbo (180hp tetris designed car)

at the end of the day,everyone is entitled to their own opinion.Some think £7k is mad others dont.What narks me is "Fords are sh1t" "jap sh1t" "french sh1t" etc
I know some are just banter but there is folk on here who really believe Vauxhall redtop Nova's are the best cars never made.Its unbelievable.
Each to their own,but seriously.......
If you think like that your in denial.

[mr5050]

realistically 7k is not a lot to spend on a nova considering 80% of the finished project threads on this site cost that +, not including the labour charges, storage etc. great car and worth what ever you want to pay for it at the end of the day.

[c20tbo]

I built this car originally, it is worth the money in parts alone, everything on this car was brand new, i spent over 18k building it!! i would have this car back but unfortunately i have another project which is now tallying to over 55k so passed on it, if i had taken it back the wheels would be blue same as cage and the decals back on the wings, was never meant to be a sport rep but had to stand out, which it has where ever its been.

You seriously have to drive it to appreciate it, obviously not massive power but in my eyes was enough front wheel drive and road legal.

Brief spec of money spent off the top of me head

Engine = all in around 6k, as before not built for massive power but enough, head £800 alone, pistons £500 gen oversize Mahle, oil pump £250, all parts gen vaux throughout, and obviously the ancilliaries, brand new starter - alt ect ect

Suspension = Brand new leda's £1500, had uniballs £250,

Box = £2500

Wheels = £800

Pro alloy bespoke cooler and rad setup = £800

Reyland brakes = £800

the list is massive i could spend all night, one thing i must mention is that this car was finished around 4-5 yrs ago by myself and painted around 6-7 yrs ago and it still looks stunning, never had any running issues apart from plugs - fuel pump - burst oil cooler, been on track many times

Enjoy mate and keep us updated on it, and bloody look after it.

[womble sri]

I will do pal, thanks for building such a good car!! its being transported down tommorow, off to the garage now to give it a final sweep and put the carpet down ;)

May be in touch with any queries if thats cool

[draper]

its one of the few novas that is actually worth serious money imo

[c20tbo]

Any time fella.

[Southie]

Out of interest how much new was a Nova Sport 25 years ago?

The way I look at it is, if a car has had a full strip down paint wise and has all the correct modifications and built to a high standard as C20 TBO has been then it's got to be worth it. I cannot build feck all so the only Nova I will ever buy will be a high class top quality build, maybe when Nick J sells up I'll have enough cash lol

[Lee H]

Makes me wonder if there is someone out there who would buy mine rather than having to break it to get more of the money back.

[Andy]

try lee.you can only try...

[Paul]

Makes me wonder if there is someone out there who would buy mine rather than having to break it to get more of the money back.

Ill start the bidding £1.50

[Edd]

If it's well advertised, a high spec nova will sell for top money just takes longer IMO

Not everyone wants to go through the building process but wants to own one

[draper]

Makes me wonder if there is someone out there who would buy mine rather than having to break it to get more of the money back.

Current turbo cars of high class value "on here" are IMO:

Nick J's
Lee H
Benn
Longdogcharlies

Off the top of my head that's it but all worth the 7k upwards price tbh.

[Spudly]

try lee.you can only try...




Exactly, its like track cars, ive never seen one sell as a whole they all seem to have to be broken for parts, apart from Christian's old one, it sold complete to merris and iirc he sold it complete aswell, it would be worth a try, but then look at the neglect that Nick J's old one got, would you want to risk seeing your years of time effort and hard work go that way, and the last known reports of Simps old red one were that it had been let to rot and was getting ragged senseless and destroyed:cry:

Would also put Keith Robinsons in that bracket as well.

[Andy]

It wasnt when JamesCuj had it Spud,i never seen it get driven properly once LOL

[Spudly]

Yeah but he sold it on didnt he and iirc last i saw Simps post up about it he said he had been infomed it was rotten and the front crossmembed had been snapped through abuse:eek:

[Southie]

Would also put Keith Robinsons in that bracket as well.

Knew I'd forgot another fantastic one, of course Keiths ;)

[draper]

last i heard it was sat with the front end stripped for a new crossmember

yeah simps one, was last year i read it on here.

[timbo1980]

Hope it gets used in anger now & again, Never see this been spooled , apart from when bob first built it & was in Aberdeen (My first sighting of C20TBO) & thought feckin hell thats a quick 1.3 sport. Enjoy it

I would add another in Andy bishops, A very understated yet very well thoughout and built car.

Lee H........ When I saw Rick the other week he told me you were seriously considering breaking the nova. I would definately try selling complete first as Im sure you would get some genuine interest amongst the tyre kickers. Ive had a couple of offers for mine within that price bracket so their is people who will pay good money.

On simps old car........... From memory It didnt even have a standard crossmember. It was a serious piece of steel fabricated for the job and If someones actually managed to break that then they are doing damn well!! Unless its being confused with another shell etc?
