I posted up this pic recently asking if anyone had pics from trax 1999 of my mate Alex's Nova! Its since been fully rebuilt and he's finally got me a Tech Spec! It is as follows:

--------------------------------------------

I have enclosed the techinal spec of my (baby) motor, I am still currently working on it so the spec it only 90% complete, I should have it ready by mid March all going well,

Lets just remind dave of the "thing" he fitted to his old nova, and called it a front bumper

Novadose front is gold compared to that!

It does look smart on his car, even i like it, the laguna splitter makes all the difference, trust me :D

Why do you lot have to turn a thread into complete c**p? If you've nothing to say that's related to the thread, then don't reply to it.

Keith, the spec of that car is pretty impressive. Get some pics up as soon as you can.

fair point, but if he'd waited untill he had pictures of the car then maybe he would have had more interest in it.

as it stands i have absolutely no interest in reading a list of modifications no matter how good they are.
