Looks like gaffer tape or something to me, to stop stuff getting in the engine while they were building it.

I recon its all photoshopped, not a chance anyone would build a twin engined nova. Rick

I think its just a destraction while he takes over the world with his tripple engined lawn mower...
Ok then how would it do 2.83 secs to 60mph?
It never, the organisers at silverstone lied for the publicity.
So what time did it get then. Anyway is it fergie who hears them start up the engine every saturday?
I think the real tme was about 10.2 or similar, you belive fergie? they probably gave him a free regal sticker to keep quiet.

who wants a ride in the beast then??
im bringing it up to the mk meet, its not relli twin engined its all polystyrene blocks made to look like engines and its really a 1.0 pushrod nova engine-thats why its so fast.
oh and about trax, if the timing gear was wrong then fair do's BUT it is still the fastest thing on the day AND the fastest in silverstones history.
its got red bays cos we built it as cheap as we cud, we wanted tho see what the cheapest way of slaying cossies in a vaux was. :lol:

Are you seriously bringing it to MK? It would be awesome to see it close up :D I will get the digi cam from work, possibly try and borrow the digital camcorder as well, so that when you take me for a spin (which I think you should, since I'm the host ;)) I can video it ;)
Jim
I saw it close up sat its well nice but look on the boot where the old corsa badge was :?

LOL, who cares, was never built to be the prettiest Nova in the world :twisted:
Jim
Dont get me wrong im not saying that, i was looking at it for ages. I wish i could make it to mk now to hear it running :cry:

lol @ the daft bint.
RS are they seriously going to trust you with that thing?
Just a point you said in a previous post "we built it" i thought it was common knowledge that EDS built it or did John lie in the interveiw in Max power?
I thought EDS built it aswell, looks that way on there site
Stanton

yep but they prob shudnt :lol:
it was built as a joint effort, tho was built in germany at eds's place.
we are however going to be primarily responsible for its rebuild, and its gunna be mad :twisted:
What you doing thats going to make it better
Stanton
02-12-03, 03:06 PM
heaps and heaps more power!
(looking for like 800bhp in all)
uprated drivetrain etc...
Thats mad, when it all happening
Stanton
02-12-03, 03:17 PM

So your hoping to make it as fast as the isaachunt FWD nova that i have been told shud be running 9's this season with one engine, FWD and was already into the 12's with a 270ish bhp 8 valve turbod motor. Are you going to fit proper engine management at the same time as well of just fit 10psi fuel pressure regulators to get the fuel pressure? Rick
