I now have my first car, and it's a nova :P

My dad got it for me as he found it near him (I just need to pay him back). But he got me a saloon 1.2L nova :cry:

It's ok as a first car, but in a few months I will be changing it to a hatchback, as a mate of mine has loads of shit for it, i.e. Nova GSi bodykit, dash, 5 speed gearbox (which I think will fit) and a few aftermarket parts like exhaust, cam, and stuff for different novas.

So when I get it, and figure out how I can put it into the features thingie. You will be able to see it.

P.S. I havn't seen it either until this weekend, so here goes the crypton factor. And I got a quote for ?754 TPF&T, and when I do my pass plus it will be knocked down to ?610 from Adrian Flux, so I think I got a good deal. Hope to hear your replies, and tell me how I fcuked up somewhere :P

what the hell...

what's wrong with his 5 speed gear box and dash...?!

its his first car, and by the sounds of it, he'll be doing it nicely.

all you seem to be bothered about is putting people down, and if you keep it up all you will get is abuse...

as for your sig:


my standard 1.2 nova will go to 102mph

no-one gives a shit...

there aint nothing wrong with his car, id just leave the mods out, i think a standard Nova is a lovely little first car,

You can still get some decent hatchs on a K or L if ur lucky without a bit of rust on. Some Standard Novas look very tidy, just watch out for modded and thrashed ones when u go for ur hatch.

My cousin once had a saloon, and his really shifted it was a 1 litre, it was quicker than my 1.2

Good luck

ill be keeping the body mods to a minimum, no kingdom werhey what the hell happened there bodykits, or 17" wheels. With the 1.2l which ill will be doing up when I get a 1.2L nova hatch (the saloon will not be touched) the biggest ill fit will be 15", and hopefully TSW Evo R's. Then after a year of nice driving, ill go upto a 1.4 or 1.6, or maybe a whole diff car, as ill be 21 by then.

Rach

hey, that max power sticker will add at least 25-30 bhp to the car...!
