Check it out,
a yellow rally car, with two 2L 8v engines, it says 170bhp each.
Thought you may be interested.

Looks a bit of a beast. But not as special as 'the beast'!

must have done some serious work to those engines.


cos the 'good' 8v engine only runs 130 bhp, so squeezeing another 40 out of each one is impressive

Yeah that would have been better, but i guess 340bhp will have to do,LOL.

why slate someone for only putting in 8v engine, to be honest im well impressed they've gone for putting two engines, and the work to do it must of taken ages, top marks to them.

Just be impressed by the work they have done and not what they 'could' have done.

Very nice nova.

True, seems like we are forgetting how much work must have gone into that nova.

Very nice nova.

no its not, its only good cos it has 2 engines, if you saw that with a single 1.2 engine in it youd think it was crap.

anyway you only like 8v cos you have one

Hes got a point,LOL.
You wouldn't give that car a second look if it didn't have 4 wheel drive and two engines, that makes up for it.

lol, gotta agree..its RANK..

only good thing about it is the engines, but imo, that doesnt matter much, considering its already been done to the "boost beast"..

it does look quite strange, but the engineering aspect of it seems to be quality...

so if you had built it, does this mean that you wouldn't get upset if we slated it.

i personally dont care, i have my car and thats it.
respect anyone who tries to do there best with their car witht the exception of saxo's and ford ka's.

i wouldnt mind. If it was my car, and i loved it, its MY car, not up for anyone else's approval. if they didnt like it, then fine. a bit of constructive criticism is not bad.

J4MES
08-08-04, 09:54 PM
i would mind if it was mine and people slated it, you would be lying if it didnt p*ss you off...but really its not slating its people's opinions on what they would have done if it was theirs, if you know what i mean... :?

i think its nice how poeple put their time and effort into a hobby and passion that they love, and as long as they like it it dont matter.

J4MES

end of the day it does its job it is a sh*t quick nova which is what it was made for

power over style who cares what it looks like when you're moving that quick

Mike.
14-08-04, 02:05 PM

speed over style i think thats what the builder wanted to achieve
