Couple of pics of the state of my nova inside!

[Rick Draper]

Started to finish my novas wiring inside trhe other day, as you can see i have almost got there with the wiring now! I have wired in the Apexi, the gauges and the aquamist in dash display system. Just need to have the bodywork finished now and have it mapped which shud all be done by the end of march.

[Rick Draper]

Just got the nova started again today at long last. Its even booked in for its new exhaust system a week on friday/saturday then its going to my friends garage straight after that to have the paint work sorted out and inner arches painted. Rick

[Riggy]

very nice rick :D

[dan16v]

well done m8, seems to be steaming ahead now, try going to work more so you get less done like every one else! :lol:

Rick,

What Bore exhaust system are you having for it? And what/how many silencers out of interest.

I remember wiring my DTA up.... took 2 days and even then half of it was crimped together :oops:

Its having a 3" system with one box. Shud be very free flowing when its done. Also the external gate is not rejoined to the exhaust so that will help with the flow a little.

Managed to wire the Autronic in totally now, every single conector is crimped and soldered so i shud not experience any electrical problems. Infact i bet the loom is 100% better than a std vauxhall engine loom. Rick

[NovaNeil]

Sweeet! :D

Will you take a pic of the underside of the car when the exhaust is fitted please, as im after a 2.5" or 3.0" bore system for mine, but my local Powerflow aren't to keen on doing it because of the thin channel it has to run down in a Nova. They were reluctent to fit a 2.25" bore for my mate XE.... but in the end they did.

Cheers

Mine has a 2.25" system on it as it is. Been like that for years. JP dont really want to make me a 3" system but they said they will but if it rubs it rubs. Rick

Yeah them buggers at AB did mine,i beged for a 2 1/2 but they wouldnt do it,so i had a 2" it's still got a restriction feel to it,but im not fused as i will get another once the bodys go on,or try ripping out the middle box first,if not just for a laugh to see how loud it is :lol:

Glad to see your still working on her then Rick keep it going now,there is light at the end of a tunle some where :lol:

I remember when mine was like that, It's all pretty simple to put back together, but time consumeing. And i didnt have loads of extra wireing!

Looking forward to seeing this :D

I would well recommend Simpsons race exhausts to anyone serious looking for what I would call perfection. Adam Moran has has just brought a xe manifold he made for my mate which can only be described as perfection,

Your car is getting better and better Rick, cant wait to see it all completed, After making the loom for mine I felt convinced it was better than the factory one which is good as you wouldn't be wanting a electrical fire at any time with all those lovely gadgets, pukka job there :)

[Rick Draper]

I will keep everyone up to date with pics of the car over the next few weeks as it really starts to take shape. Rick

[dan16v]

im going in between with a 2 3/4" :lol: will be ok for around 400hp i think
