in my service history have a rolling road print out for sie bellis's car, it has that exact number plate f490 ehl wrote on the bak! got 185bhp@8000rpm, was that engine put in my white one that he built? cant see why it made 185bhp with the spec my engine had in xe form!

19-03-04, 11:35 PM

When the green nova was written off - the same engine was put in your white one

When sie was building the green one - he didn't have an ecu - so I supplied him with a spare one I had - Untill that rolling road session we didn't know it was a modified ecu !!!!

Karl-Those pics were taken by my own fair hands back in '96. That would make Brett 25-ish back then????

Ste-Back wen the PNG was a good club!!

Dan16v-I was at GTI centre Huddersfield when Si's car ran 180bhp, Bretts ran 178 and Daves ran 179!!!!

How things have changed!!! Back then, Si's car got a feature with twin lamps, a spray and 16" wheels, Bretts was a standard looker with a valver with alloys and Nicks just looked like a GSI with speedlines. I mean, they were all mint cars (no pun intended!) in fact those and Dave's rusty rocket were the inspiration for 8 other north-west valvers (including mine!) but nowadays, you have to be spending ?20k to get a mag feature..

ALL HAIL THE NOVA!

Dan16v-I was at GTI centre Huddersfield when Si's car ran 180bhp, Bretts ran 178 and Daves ran 179!!!!!

Well done rick - I couldn't remember where the rolling road day was - I think the magazine article quoted my rusty rocket as having a James Bond style smoke screen - and a picture to prove it !!!! LOL

Dave's rusty rocket were the inspiration for 8 other north-west valvers (including mine!)

In it's day the 'Rusty Rocket' was mint - used to appear at many shows - even featured in various car Mags - those were the days !!!

Which were the other 8 north west valvers you were thinking of Rick !!

Andy Chan, Andy Bollocks (built one, bought one!

Maybe more!!

RJM25R

20-03-04, 07:07 PM

And me, that's TEN people!!!

That's what the rant the other month was about, people not taking nova's to the nova meets, because if those ten people hadn't seen those cars, they might not have built THEIR cars, and eventually new stuff stops happening doesn't it?

I wouldn't have still had a nova at 30 if I hadn't seen quality cars in the metal, by going to meets and shows. Magazines never show you the detail you are looking for. Look how many rough cars like Ian Searle's scrapheap look reasonable in mag features but are rotten when you see them for real.....

21-03-04, 12:28 PM

I wouldn't have still had a nova at 30 if I hadn't seen quality cars in the metal, by going to meets and shows.

Its true - as you all know I'm ridiculously old and shud have put my slippers on and retired to driving a "sensible family saloon" yrs ago but once you have had a nova esp. if you have got some speed put in it, a lot of other so called performance cars just dont measure up for pure driver/owner involvement. Its easy to get pissed off and sell but you miss them when they have gone

There is nothing quite like a Nova - they have real character and are real fun as anyone knows whose had a go in a T40 1.6 or a 2.0l 16v will testify.

The top Novas in the country really are brilliantly prepared and very fast with it.

Ahh the good ol days :lol:

22-03-04, 08:32 AM

Ok the pearl orange one was bought by a lad from OLDHAM (SHAZ), after 1 month it snapped it's cambelt, lunching the allegedly "race-spec" engine. The engine was stripped by a mate of mine (JUTT) who found it was just a standard engine. Jutt fitted a turbo engine for Shaz, and it ran ok for a while and Shaz bought an MR2 TURBO, then an impreza, then a supra etc etc etc and last time I sawe him, the car was still in his garage but he won't sell it or break it.

The original engine was taken by Jutt as payment for fitting the turbo, and scrapped, except the MBE engine management and the throttle bodies which were then fitted to his GSI 16V nova (that never saw the light of day!!). They then were offered to me while my valver was being built for an all inclusive price of ?800. I didn't want therm myself cos I had a strict budget (I should have done it i realise now!!LOL!!) so I purchased them on behalf of my mate, Sanjay Dave (a NW Ex PNG guy) who had a black GTE valver with white compomotives and the first person (allegedly) to do a VR6 splitter back in '98, later to sport irmscher twin lamps) to get the good price for him.

Fearless fitted the throttle bodies for him, and he went to SBD for a high-torque exhaust manifold costing ?200, and smoked it round with (allegedly) 208bhp for a bit. He fitted wilwoods, half cage, GSI interior inc. dash, ?2000 install, rear discs, full respray (by the guy who painted my purple car!!!) but lost interest and decided to buy a golf VR6. The guy selling the golf offered him ?4k aginst the valve nova which looked very nice (the car) but was structurally not in good shape. Fearless removed the throttle bodies again and Sanjay traded the car.

But what happened to the throttle bodies? I hear (someone?) cry!!!

Well those throttle bodies and the SBD manifold, together with the MBE,

that were originally in the orange car,

Then "given" to jutt, and fitted to his car that never ran....

Then offered to me...

Then fitted to Sanjay's car......

Are now fitted into Brett Warburtons peppermint show car!!!!

It had 16V Renault wheels on, then Softstars, then the Senekas, and just lately these - I can't for the life of me remember what they're called - but they were supplied by Courtenay.

Saw the car about 2 months ago and it still had them on...

I honestly didn't realise I was this sad - LOL.

22-03-04, 08:47 PM

It was running a Courtenay 300BHP engine rebuild : this actually equates to about 260bhp @ fly though.

Still, it managed to push a mates Saph Cosworth along the M1 hehe

That yellow nova is on a Q plate, because it was built using the Last New Nova shell sold from a dealer in the UK.

The shell was sold from fintona Autospares near Omagh here in NI. About 30 mins drive from me!

I find it hard to believe any LET was pushing 300bhp back in the day, lets face it mark watts car never looked like it had the bhp he said it had. I have the mag feature with that yellow car in, when it was up for sale it was up for something like ?7k and it had a rather crispy chassis leg from what i was told. Rick

AJ Tuning. LMFAO@ pressure cookers.

I spoke to him yonks ago on another forum, he said he sold it to his mate who promtly caned the arse off it and quite frankly killed it. That lad then PX'd it into a sports car garage near me (on the A20 - now bankrupt) which is where Mike bought it from.. He got shafted by the garages warranty and ended up spending a fortune on it getting it right. Andy said he wished he'd never sold it.

Rick, yeah had a crispy drivers chassis rail, not the end of the world but still not worth the money.

It made about 260BHP at one of these "mobile" rolling roads at a local car show... Saw the receipts for its latest engine rebuild, ?6500 from Courtenay!!! Did anyone see the brakes on it?

Yeh - HUGE - I can't remember what sizes - front something like 330mm and backs - well lets just say a bit overbraked for a nova IMO - it had ally belled discs on the rear as well !!!

I see no one noticed the Fearless roll cage ;) While you're here Dave, dont s'pose you ever managed to find out the oil cooler connector sizes did you? I keep meaning to phone Brett but just haven't had time...

Cheers.

(BREENY.... GREEN ONE...)

FRONT COVER OF FAST CAR IF I REMEMBER RIGHTLY??? Supposed to have 270bhp but got spanked BIG TIME at Bruntingthorpe (200 nova day)by Brett W and Nick Caro when they both had std valvers with chips etc...... Bit like the orange one mentioned earlier (the one with Bretts throttle bodies!!) that allegedly had 258 BHP!!!!! BOLLOCKS!

Look at OLD SCHOOL-HERE IT COMES!!!! For a reprint if the famous REVS day. I'll put it on tomorrow.
