[John]

Iirc it was on Subaru central mike

[John]

Can't find it, must have been before the new forum :(

[troy88]

It was subaru central, I saw it today too. I got a couple of pics but can't upload them.
It was a white wide arch nova, it was amazing! It was running on the 0-60 track thingy

[Hobbit]

I remember the thread, the owner popped on iirc. Can't find it though. Was it not from a ford forum?

[trossnova]

Bonnet stay is extra weight :p

[ben10]

lol all the work gone into this and you pick up on a bonnet stay get a life

[Stuart]

What part of 'Subaru' implies Ford powertrain? lol

[Hobbit]

Just don't forget you put the umbrella under the bonnet and go for a drive... As I did with mine at Nats lol

Sorry it's left the quote of someone said why put a ford engine in my nova so I meant is a cosworth engine made by ford......

[Mike]

its a chaps from round nr me in cannock he was on here at one point not sure if he still uses the site

Ive never seen that driving around Cannock, thats if its road legal mind.

[twistysnovagte]

pics all well and good,but i need to see a vid of this thing on the move lol

great work ethic to build summat like that :)

[chambers1984]

he lives in walsall. he has only just completed it dont think its on the road yet. im sure it will be soon. last time i spoke to him there was just a few little bits left to do. there will be a 500bhp 4x4 c20let nova in cannock soon thats close to done

[Mike]

Wasall's even nearer to me (unfortunatly!)

Its a well known fact Cannock is the spiritual home of the boy racer mind lol

[Southie]

Mike, did you live there then and start it all off lol

[ben10]

hi all its my car i live in bloxwich only drove it the night before trax its running a standard engine other than air filter[2.1 stroker kitted closed deck waiting to go in] still not finished yet lots moe to do. all work has been done by me so any of you that want to pick faults [and there are a few] bring your 4x4 nova round and we can compare. anothe than that trax was a good day for a bit of a shake down did a 5.7 0-60 i no its not the best but at 8psi and a dodgy coil pack its good enough for me

please post up some pics in a wip thread, this looks like a really good build.

did you fit all the subaru running gear, (shortened??) and floorpan? or fabricate your own chassis?

[Southie]

I suppose you could by a shagged out WRX and stick a Corgi Nova on the dashboard to have similar effect but wouldnt be the same really lol

Cracking build and it deserves more progress and build pictures to us true saddos that are Nova lovers lol

[Mike]

hi all its my car i live in bloxwich

Do you know the original reg of the shell? Be funy if its my old one lol lol

[Mike]

Mike, did you live there then and start it all off lol

lol

Funk no. Cant stand the chavvy little fcukwits driving around racing everything in sight. Giving out the evil stares from there VOSA magnets & all that caper.

I might do that :p
In all seriousness would be good web iv finished mine to compare notes! Iv done all the wok my self as well and mine looks very lashed together but solid!
Also to get out on trick together and have a play

[Mazz]

Nice skill, be nice to see it up close

[jaywalker]

nah mike didnt start it off i did lol, i had a c20 xe in a yellow mk1sr down cannock every sunday, about 1999 i think, before the cameras were on the a5, now that was the good old days

[jaywalker]

oh mike thanks for the call mate lol ;-)
