C16se project

[RichardAshton]

Hi Guys,

New to the forum this is my Third Nova but first real project.

The car is going to be used for mainly road use with a few track days also to be added.

Hope to get lots of progression pictures up all feedback/hints and tips welcome

What throttle bodies are you using? Think I'll have to strip my 16se down again and paint it up, it has a rustic charm. Lol

Thanks mate, I have a set of 600 fireblade carbs/tbs in the garage for mine although I'm not sure what route to go down at present. Good work so far by the way.

Thank you, progress is slow atm as I’m waiting for VHT paint to arrive.
Then engine has previously just been thrown together so this time it will be getting done properly

I’ve got pictures on my phone of your engine bay mate as that’s what I want my engine bay to look like what cam and manifold you using ? I’ve got a key fast road cam now but different people say different things for 1600 8v exhaust manifold I’m also infused weather to do full engine black or silver and black. Dissuasions dissuasions [emoji23]

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkOh right lol Iam using standard cam for now manifold is a sportex 4 branch into full system. Also I would do the block black I've done silver before but imo black is best.
