Possibly off topic question here.....
Has anyone ever (on here) built there nova to this spec? Road going or track cars?
I like the idea of most of the suspension, braking and chassis work, but would find most of the rest of it too extreme for my version of a fast road/weekend toy nova road car.

dan, it was the manual supplied with the group A kit. at a guess, several hundred got built.

the problem is that a lot of the parts are no longer available, ie the group A engine stuff, but Harry Hockley still supply the strengthening/suspension stuff, but a lot of it is too heavy duty for normal road use, as it was developed for forest rallying.

do tell.

its odd, but anyone who used to search it out on here, always ended up pm'ing me for me to send them my pdf copy of it, after Stu's original pdf got corrupted.

Which I had sent to you in the first place lol and is never been corrupted when I looked at it, and even when giving a seemingly corrupted copy to a publisher who said it was fine lol

so why were people claiming it wouldn't work when it was sent to them, when from my email address it was fine??? were you browsing dodgy websites or something?

Erm, no because it was downloaded onto a myriad of machines and it was fine..... I'd say it was other people being too retarded to use a browser and PDF reader.

i mean, we even use it at work & i'm by far the most tech literate person there lol lol
