my nova xe project ae86 project and pulsar gtir project "phew"

[16v]

ok were do i start lol i baught my nova in 2004 it was a red 1.2 expression my plans back then were to keep it red and have it looking like an sr but they soon changed when i got offered a rough gte 16v astra. i'd always loved white gsi's and saying as my first car was a white gsi rep i thaugt id go down the same route untill i got this far

http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq104/davegtcoupe/redtop.jpg

then as many of you will know an urge for somthing else crops up and i baught an ae86 corolla in 2007. always loved them and i had the money so had to do it lol so after puttin the nova aside i ended up spending all my wages on the corolla and ended up with this

although looks a bit like this now

http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq104/davegtcoupe/717.jpg

[L33 LEG]

Thanks bud was going to paint my bumpers white but I think you've talked me out of it! Pulsars are ugly as hell but go like stink! I like turbo's lol

I can't say much because im doing mine white but yours does look lovely. Just noticed the mirrors as well, let me know if you want to sell them lol Pulsars are seriously ugly, my mate used to have one and always raved about it but i never saw the obsession. However your other cars make up for it lol

[BRoadGhost]

I'm sure the front would look better if you pushed the bumper up as much as possible then nipped up the 13MM chassis leg bolts.

There's a guy with a white 86 close to me with pop up headlights; if I wasn't such a scrub I'd be in a position to make an offer on it.

[Southie]

Nothing like a good spit roast lol

It looks surprisingly clean under there, are you stripping to the bare metal then?

[Spudly]

If youre going to be grinding with the car in that position, it might be an idea to cover the roof lining to prevent unwanted damage to it from errant sparks and other grindery associated flying-ness lol

[16v]

Nothing like a good spit roast lol

Lol ill see how it looks when it's finished maybe take it off but I quit like it for now

[murph-gsi]

This is how she looked last week. Skirts are now off and away to get painted black and the splitter is off but havnt got photos. Need smaller tyres on the mims kinda get the feeling it will look better on the speedlines

[Iain]

I prefer those mima to speedlines! More subtle splitter going on?

[16v]

If I can find a nice splitter other than a laguna one I'll maybe put one back on. The mims are goin to hit my front wings unless I put elastic band tyres on lol I like them though

[16v]

Splitter is off and the skirts have been painted black. Does lpok a lot better now havnt any good pics at the min so here's a random one I took the other night

[NathanKirkpatrick]

Be ready for Easter Sunday you think? What's the exhaust?

[16v]

Thanks yea it's a brave size of a pipe now lol looks bigger in the photo because it's outward rolled. It's a full sportex with a 4" outward rolled tip. Dunno if it will be ready or not tbh but I'll try my best with the limited time I get to work at it. You heading down yourself?

[darragh792]

What Alls left to do?

[16v]

What Alls left to do?

Central locking, alarm, boot popper, bleed brakes, make brackets for the rear seats then see why its ticking over to high not a lot actually should have it done soon enough

[murph-gsi]

Really liking this. Its turned out really nice.:thumb:

[darragh792]

Didn't notice the lock was smoothed out of the trim, looks good. Keep at it you'll be out for easter no problem

[16v]

Sooooooo much better than when it had about 50 splitters attached lol

[paul james]

Not a big fan of different mirrors on a Nova as I think the standard ones suit the angular boxy look of the car. However the manta ones do look better to my eyes than the shrunken ones as they just look odd to me being that small.

[totalnova]

I also prefer standard mirrors, but the manta ones don't look to bad and it's good to see something different.

[16v]

Got these a few days ago needs to be a bit closer to the ground for my liking

[16v]

Looking well. Love the exhaust think it would suit the standard mirrors better though. Just my choice lol.

Yea it looks good now thanks. As for the exhaust It's just one of them sportex systems that I modified it's cheap and cheerful but will do until I get a good one made at some time. Iv always liked the manta mirrors had these ones for years so might aswell use them lol

[L33 LEG]

Haven't seen this thread for a while! Was always one of my favourite novas.

Where have the raffinos gone? I prefer the manta mirrors but that's only because I can't stand stubby ones lol.

Looks lovely by the way, red was a good choice even though I loved it in white.

Cheers buddy it was originally red and had only been painted on the outside so decided to go back to red. The raffinos are still ther could do with a quick refurb to freshen them up a bit and new lower profile tyres. Had the speedlines sitting freshly painted with new tyres on them so that's why they're on. Manta mirrors are also still ther just can't see a dammed thing out of them and didn't want standard mirrors lol

[L33 LEG]

Even better then if it was originally red. Looks good on the speedies but stands out more on the MIMs I reckon. Don't worry about seeing out mirrors, I used to have mattig ones and were literally pointless.

The ae86 is looking as sexy as ever.

[torquey]

That looks sweet!
