Its finally happened, ive decided to scap the nova.
Its just about to give up the ghost. To be fair though, its had a hard life, literaly. The harsh ride of being lowered 120mm has finally killed it.the front end is ready to fall off.
its a shame as id just bought my nwe engine to put in it. A 1.7 race spec crossflow.
But here is the worst part, ive decided i cant be arsed to get another nova to replace it, so im getting a (please dont slag me) mk1 fiesta. and dumping the lump in that.
I have still got my td nova though, so ihavnt compltely lost my head. And wait another year and ill be back with a rear engined nova, i promise ya.
Dont worry though ill still be on novaload all the time, to recieve all the abuse.

It does mean though that there is a saftey devices full roll cage for sale for 100 quid.
a maybe a few other parts, ill update later.

Don't diss MKI Fiestas.....my mate John's got one, and it's fking quick!

1300 Finesse, with nice big Weber, perf.zorst K&N PepperPots and Yokohama tyres. It's a little beast....well, it was before he crashed it! He's almost finished repairing the damage though, so it'll be back on the road soon. MKI is the best of the Fiestas BTW...better than the shitty MKII and III's.

would i diss the fiesta?
i simply think there is some confusion about which the mk1 was. Its not the popular one that you get as xr2 lookalikes alot. nor the rounder one that did rs2000 model.
It was before them... way before.
didn't even have bumpers on it.
was just a little round bubbley thing.
theres one up near me... ickle yellow rust bucket.
The owner loves it though... reckons its got character... i suppose hes right.

yeah, as in the very fisrst ones, with the round headlights. Its fapping quick though.
0-60 in about 6ish i reckon,tops out at 140.
and thats using a disiel gearbox, wait until i get an rs turbo box, the shortest ratio box u can get for it. acceleration is gonna be lightning.
Itd give all u 2l valver boys a serious run for ur money.
