and a mad 1600 on throttle bodies.

watchya rekon?

[RJM25R]

i've got some MHW red rear lights for sale ?40 if you want them

[Stanton]

r they e marked?

u got any pics? are they the ones with the red surround?

[Ben]

Looks good, will be hard to do the vynal.

[Paul]

That will be easy, remove old vinyl, flush tailgate and have that bit sprayed matt black. or get sum made up?

[Ben]

Grrrr i wanted those rear lights when Karl sold them to you Rick.

[Jim]

Go for a carbon fibre rear tailgate :D

Jim

[karl Rowntree]

Rick ive only just sent them to you!!! How come your selling them?

Sorry to go away from the origianl post there mate.

Would look ace that low but think you might struggle a bit. Apart from that looking good, grey wheels on a red car allways look good.

[Stanton]

maybe a carbon tailgate insert, bottom of rear bumper, sideskirts etc... :evil:

[Stanton]

Would look ace that low but think you might struggle a bit

coilovers and the wheels are only 15s so i shud b able to go that low

[Ben]

That will be easy, remove old vinyl, flush tailgate and have that bit sprayed matt black. or get sum made up?

Obviously you have never tried removing, fitting Vynal to a car!

To get it that flat and that smooth would be a very good job.

And you have to make sure that the tailgate is flushed correctly (unlike 99% already around)

[Jules]

Looks sweet, just strip out the rear, nice big cage (I believe Ben has a nice one for sale.............) and sling in a couple of chunky buckets with harnesses and Bob's your Mothers, Brother live-in lover!!!
:D

[peester]

do that mate and yours would be my number 1. good stuff.

[dan_mk1]

that looks awsome! would need some kinda graphic on the back tho! a gte one in the corner or summin?? and get the rear splitter and sideskirts sprayed up black!

[Anton]

looks sweet. I wouldnt go that low though...

[Ben]

(I believe Ben has a nice one for sale.............)

Nope its gone to a good home, was quite sad really, have got my eyes on a new one now though :roll:

[andyrs1800]

Nice idia mate... i say full carbon fibre tailgate with top sprayed red,

[Stanton]

that looks awsome! would need some kinda graphic on the back tho! a gte one in the corner or summin?? and get the rear splitter and sideskirts sprayed up black!

thats the plan m8, then mayb sum carbon or summat.

gotta sort the rust 1st :oops:

[ken]

there is no way you can drop a nova that low and drive it every day, they rattle and bang as it is, plus they will catch on the front arch and bend it up a mate of mine tried it, and cut his rear springs looked fuckin wicked but shit ride and not pracicle.But the colour scheme and wheels look pukka,I'd like to see it finished and that low.Good luck mate.........
p.s i read in a p.a.g magazine once about fitting coilovers on the rear to a nova and there was certain wheel size and tyre size you had to stick to i think i'l try and find it and mail it to you. if not ask the boys and girls.

[Ste_Nova]

Obviously you have never tried removing, fitting Vynal to a car!

i revynaled my drivers door... not to hard just takes 2 peeps to fit

[Dare-devil]

That's gona be 1 awesome nova m8... :wink: Keep us posted ( with pics )

[Fester]

I love it!

why do other peoples plans always look better then what i think for mine?! :?


will look smart leaving the ridges in the bumper yet smoothing off other elements eg. the door handles, very nice combo!

I remember seeing ages ago genuine carbon fibre weave which you apply with proper resin, sort of like fibreglassing? Maybe do that on the skirts? In fact dont I might do it to mine!!

[elsey197]

Some nice ideas there mate, will look good :)

[Stanton]

ok right i no sumone who does carbon stuff, if i was to get the below made up would anyone be interested in buying one off me?

if u r interested in any of the below, copy and paste ure name next to it.

Carbon bonnet:

Carbon wings:

Carbon tailgate:

Sideskirts:

ant other carbon bits that ure interested in?

[Mark]

carbon doors?

[?Marty?]

carbon shell.


Love the the image of how you want it (tho with matching skirts/rear extension).

[5_door owner]

very nice

wheres your exaust goin cos that bumper looks slick with no tailpipe angin out n e ways wiil be mint if it turns out n e thin like planned

[Fergie_sfc]

will look heavy mate. that lowered 80mm?

do it, then we can cruise to meets together. come to milton keynes on sunday 7th december.

let me know.

Fergie.

[dan16v]

1 Q is it parked out side lager in that pic! lmfao

[NovaNeil]

YeahI was thinking wheres the exhaust going to go??? Side exits would look cool!!!!

Don't worry about Rear coilovers not fitting those wheels!! They'll easily fit 15's with 195 width tyres. I've had 17's on (with 205 width), and they still just clear.

[Fergie_sfc]

yes mate, it is parked outside lager (regal), think hes the guy who works there but i cant prove it yet.

remember twag sold him those alloys?

fergie.

[shabba16]

i would go that low , it looks fukin rude :roll:

[shabba16]

good detective work by fergie there lol :arrow:

[Stanton]

fergie.

yep thatll b me.

did another photoshop wit a badge. wot u rekon? was thinkin of keeping the zorst hidden, or mayb a side or centre exit?

[dave.gsi]

like the lights

[Fester]

quality photoshops do you have professional experience?

[Stanton]

not professional, but i do some mock ups for peeps i no who want sum ideas, i can do sketches of photoshops if ne 1 wants

[dan16v]

any chance of getting me a cheap actuator :lol:
id like to buy more parts there but there is a large price difference on most parts ie sports actuator from gav@ wallace ?109 same again from regal bout ?150 :cry:

[peester]

gte badge on other side. i kinda prefered the other 'all-red' lights. still rekon its a top photoshop.

[Ben]

Yup quality photoshopper

lmfao@ Dan asking for discount, normally jumps in to rip regal to pieces in any conversation.

[Jules]

I'd go for no badge on the boot, the light do look very nice bt also all reds also would look cool. Manta 400 mirrors would suit and as for the exhaust then I'd hide it or just have a nice 3.5" round one coming out of the standard location - Think about it, most of the design on the car is subtle (No huge kits, lairy colours etc etc) so a subtle exhaust would look right at home).

Anyway, yeah that's some quality photoshopping - wish I could do it that good. (Anyone got a good tutorial to read on how to use it? I've just picked it up as I've gone along!!)

Fergie.

[dan16v]

i need one strong enuff to run phase 3.5 m8 as i dont want to run the bodge master eds uprated spring which you get in the kit!
i need the ?150 one you sell but as i say wallace will do it for ?109, any chance of a price match? :wink: :wink:

[peester]

did i miss something? or does rs work for regal ?

[Stanton]

did i miss something? or does rs work for regal ?

:lol: keep up lol

[peester]

thats a yes then. you'll know my mate then. no1 bloody customer.

[peester]

here, got one for you - you mentioned havin the 1600 8v on t.b's on you gte. that gonna be your dbilas stuff?? what do you rekon to it?

[Ben]

here, got one for you - you mentioned havin the 1600 8v on t.b's on you gte. that gonna be your dbilas stuff?? what do you rekon to it?

Complete waste of money, the best bit of the kit is the cover plate.

:D cover plate,lol. have you tried it? it might seem a bit pants but it does have useful features like; fitted in a hour or whatever, cold start, ok emmisions (mot), doesn't sound too loud, doesn't seem to be too thristy neither, looks ok and isn't too dear. and in total vaux. mag did gain 22 bhp in a 1.6 8v gsi. carbs etc can be pain to live with. just a more simple 'bolt-on' mod.

[Ben]

Nigh on ?1500 for 22BHP you got to much money, i know several people that have tried them and have never spoke to a satisfied person who has bought them.

Yes they do have all the benifits but there not really throttle bodies just chambers that catch fuel and then pass it through.

[peester]

ok mate unsold. i know they're 'pretend' throttle bodies or better still 'goodmans' throttle bodies just wondered; i go to loads of shows always look at novas ; never saw any ever. that was telling me something then. anyway for 1.6 8v and 22 bhp they cost ?1100. and you get free lexmaul cam.lol looks like it'll be the velos jenveys and dta then.

[Ben]

Yeah sorry i was quoting the price for 1600 16v ones i briefly considered.

For ?1100 you could rebuild a 8v to a very high spec or just look around all the secondhand rally sites and pick up a ex race engine or similar.

[shabba16]

just a idea just tell me to shut up if ya want , but wot about quad lights and a solid flat grill with "GTE" cut into it on the left hand side about 3 inchs tall? :roll:

as many have this opinion of the dbilas throttle bodies i will be using them on my car to show that they do work and can make good power and are above all reliabe and and easy system to live with as they are essencially fit and forget.

as for the 16v 1600 bodies they work very well and have been used to produce 140bhp in these cars.


its down to personal preference tho i spose, each to thier own

[peester]

you think theyre good then. ok we'll see how they do for you car and if they work i will probably get some. btw; rs that mate of mine i sed you should know has told me last night he's soon handing his cav turbo in to you lot to fit all his parts.
