My Nova TD...
I bought this with the intention of using it for my job as a courier, wanted something a bit more fun to drive and comfortable than the fiesta courier i had before.
Got it back to maidstone, set about rebuilding it completely, making everything work propperly the way it was supposed to, removed the stupid yellow mirrors/spoiler and put the proper ones on!
Anyway, spec is currently;
256mm 2.0 calipers
256mm Grooved brake dics
EBC redstuff pads
Jamex short stroke gas shock absorbers front
Jamex short stroke gas dampers rear
Jamex -60mm lowering springs front
Jamex -60mm lowering springs rear
GSI black dash
6 Dial clocks
Full leather recaro front seats (black)
Full leather rear seats (calibra, again in black)
Leather look doorcards (black)
Black rear doorcards
Leather look parcel shelf
Electric windows
Cavalier GSI steering wheel
Swoosh turbo PSI gauge
Brand new FLI 16cm speakers
Corsa 1.5TD engine (has done approximately 60,000miles - runs the 12v glow plug system for an easier start)
K&N style air filer
Manual boost controller (set at 17psi - theese engines will take 25, but i wanted it reliable!!)
Diesel pump retuned (fuelling increased to match boost)
Custom Ashley exhaust system from the flexi joint back
ASH (auto silicone hose) connectors
Forge twin piston dumpvalve (think this wants servicing, possibly new seals as its not very loud anymore)
Recently had all the clamps replaced on all the boost hosing to make sure of no leaks
Overboost valve blanking kit fitted (should you want any more out of it you wont get any greif! i fitted this as the standard overboost valve started to leak)
Nova SR steel wheels 14
2x snow tyres (one fitted)
2x road tyres (poor, but legal tread fitted on rear)
1x road tyre (new, on front with one of the snow tyres)
GSI spoiler
Colour coded mirrors
Alloy fuel cap (paint is flaking, ill try and get it sanded down before buyer collects)
delocked boot (opens on keyfob)
Toad alarm/immobiliser
A lot of service history
FULL v5/logbook
Bad points, and ill be honest:
It will possibly be mucky when you come to view it...sorry but im a courier driver, its in use daily, i will do my best to get a bucket and sponge on it, but no promises!
Scab of rust on the roof, passengers side near the windscreeen
Arches have a few scabs of surface rust coming through - however i can include two full arch panels with the sale, as i'd planned to completely replace them due to it being a common place for a nova to rot.
Tracking needs doing
One of the exhaust downpipe bolts vibrated loose, and as such there is a slight blow in the exhaust there & an occasional rattle...
Battery warning light is on, however the battery has been tested and it's fine, as has the alternator. I've been told it's probbably a loose cable in the back of the dashboard.
All in all a very cheap to insure and run car. I've driven to swansea & sheffield in this thing on courier runs within the past two weeks and it never let me down. Its got about 4months tax and the MOT runs out in april i belive - ill check up on this.
Im looking for £895 Price is open to sensible offers, i'll also consider swaps. Keep in mind that i've spent £750 on the car, and spent at least another £400 to get it the way it is today - i think it's a pretty reasonable price. Call, email, text, whatever - it all comes through to my phone, however bear with me if i dont answer straight away as im on call. Postcode is ME15 7AY if you're trying to work out distances, and i can meet you at train stations if required (east, west or barracks - they're all within 5mins walk anyway!)
Phone number is: 07414515751

Please keep in mind that it's currently on ebay & gumtree at the moment!!
Swaps wise, a 125 bike would be lovely to practice up on before my full test, or i wouldnt mind another RWD car - diesel BMW would be good, but whatever you've got text/PM me - i can only say no! :thumb:
Once again, £895 ONO!
