[Calamity Josh]

after putting my nova to one side for a while, selling my old race car, freezing to death up the workshop all winter, and becoming very skint...
my new cars finally built :') when i get a chance the full build thread is coming up but i thought i'd get your opinions...

Interested to hear what cars the parts have been sourced from? Do all the cars in the series have the same chassis and parts or are you free to just knock up something of your own design?

[Calamity Josh]

whole rear end setup is 1.2 injection corsa- reversed,
you can build your own chassis or have them ready done but to the rule book.
it's a junior class for 12- 16 year olds
heres abit of a rundown of the class- http://www.national-autograss.co.uk/juniorspecials.html
and a video from last season with my old car- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYvW0TfgQ-w (skip to 5:13)

Nice car mate, seen a few of these race at the local autograss circuit and they looked like good fun for little 1.2 lumps!

Very nicely turned out car, I like alot :d Will you be Class 8'ing when your old enough!?!

You can see where all your pennies have gone on this build, but deffo paid off as you've made a top job of it :thumb:

Know a couple of people who race F600, and also hoping to get out myself, later this year in an F600 aswell

Thanks mate, i'm half tempted with a turbo'd or supercharged 1300 nova engine in the back as class 10... as it'd be alot more nippy than all these twin bikes e.t.c... and lighter :) sounds good that your going f600, i have an engine if your after one

[nova ian]

I've already seen the engine you have on Ebay lol

It's the same as what my mate is running in his at the mo and he already has a spare too. To begin with I'm just going to borrow his car and see how I get on. Just got to get lisence sorted and alter the car slightly as I'm taller than him.

your plan for a turbo'd or supercharged 1300 nova engine sounds pretty crazy :cool:

[Calamity Josh]

ohh haha, fair enough :) that sounds good, good luck with it all mate, and it's really tempting...

Did anyone else get flashbacks to motorstorm?

[Southie]

Loving this, what will you do with it when your 17 though? Will it get sold on or will you upgrade to the adult class lol

[Calamity Josh]

it'll get sold or the 1300 idea and use it in an adult class

[Southie]

If you sell it though will get enough to buy another or will it be cheaper to convert it, very jealous though cause I'd of love the opportunity to have a blast at this sort of thing as a young'un.

[Calamity Josh]

yeh i would, but to be honest if i sold it i'd probably do something else tbh, spend it on the nova or go in with dad and buy a project together

[turbojolt]

Do they race these over bunsfield airfield in hertfordshire

[Calamity Josh]

not as far as i know mate...
