[chrisd1986]

im going to be using the x20xev engine paired with a f16 gearbox from a mk2 astra sri 8v it will have 15" compomotive th magnesium alloys 256mm front brakes and a rear disk conversion and it will have the ex vicky butler henderson gte bumpers from the sport that was used in old topgear. more coming soon

[Andy]

Loving the illegal towing hahaha
great choice of engine.
hugely under rated.

[chrisd1986]

It was under weight so perfectly legal lol it is a under rated engine and for the cost of £100 for a package it's worth while and yet will still be fun on the road and track

[Andy]

Ignorance is bliss lol
deffo.theyre a great engine imo.
just everybody raves about the enterprise milaged redtops

[chrisd1986]

Tbh I'm a redtop lover but this is a budget build and was originally just ment to be built for purpose but 1 thing has led to another and now it's going to be a full on build and I've always wanted a yellow nova but I wanted it to be different from all the others hence using pinapple yellow and there isn't many big block ecotec novas out there so I thought why not and it's a fraction of the cost

[chrisd1986]

So this weekend there has been more progress, the whole of the inside has been prepped and painted not that I thought it would get done this week but it's payed off as it looks awsome, I did most of the prep work and had a little assistance to get the finishing touches and then my mate painted it for me needless to say I'm going to owe him a lot of favours for a while now.
