i think it will be quite close

[benji]

it won't be close, the astra will kill him, hewitt know this aswell but just tring to see how many on mig kick off about it. lol

[Philsutton]

well looking at the 1/4 mile times it doesnt look like he'll get killed, although i havent seen this astra in action. There is only really one way to find out :D

I have seen this car go round corners and yes it is rather rapid

Chris

[nathan.]

yeah i saw a video of him going round donnington, very quick. although, i don't know how ollyh drives.

[benji]

the nova will get killed, no doubt about it

[Chris]

I cant imagine any 'big block' nova going round corners like that astra

Chris

saying that, wouldn't Jim beable to kick it's arse !?

Seeing as he has 168bhp in a small block.. ? which is even more than the 16v (although less torque)

[Chris]

This astra is running an XE on TB's

[karl Rowntree]

Olly H wont win as his head weighs his car down. Olly TB astra will wipe the floor with it. Hes a top driver and his cars mint :wink:

Karl

[nathan.]

it could be quite close between them now. Just read on mig olly h has fitted throttle bodies.

[burgo]

i recon that astra bloke will win judging by the stats, his handling will be so much better due to much better suspension components

[Chris]

That astra is still bloody quick, it will take some serious beating, he can drive rather well too. I cannot comment on the driver of the nova but the lad in the astra is seriously quick

Chris

[Dar]

The diff in the Nova will make one hell of a difference. BUT hes down on HP. Plus OllyTB has track knowlage and can drive well.

Also from the stats the Astra has a much better BHP/Ton.

I must get there lap times so I can compare when I take mine to Donny this year. 8)

Its going to be the Astra all the way. :twisted:

[Dar]

Ahh (Nova has now got TB's), I've just finished reading the thread now and now I think if the drivers abilities are equal then its going to be the Nova, if his driving is up to it. The BHP/Ton for each car is almost the same, plus the Nova has the all important LSD.

[burgo]

The BHP/Ton for each car is almost the same, plus the Nova has the all important LSD. lol ive just read that aswell. so now hes only down 10bhp but 60kg's lighter its gona be very close indeed

[alistairolsen]

not going to close at all imo, but Ill wait and se whats coming next lol

[benji]

my moneys still on olly in the astra.

i know someone who is 'allegedy' using timing equipment in his red 1.4 nova :wink: not that i would use the kit i got for christmas as is very very bad, and against the rules :D

[nathan.]

Olly h - nova 2.0 16v tb's - 181 bhp. - 797 kg - slippy diff

ollytb - astra mk1 2.0 16v - 190 bhp - 850kg - standard diff

[benji]

olly tb is running yoko ao48's olly h is running toyo proxies, astra's gonna win

[raza]

just watched all them vids of that nova it looks fucking ace and it shifts

[Philsutton]

i'll batter them both lol

[raza]

lol im gonna have to get me some of them carbs look like little flutes :D and they sound ace

[Philsutton]

you know its right even if its only for sound mmmmmmmmmm

[raza]

In it they hard to fit? could get some but wunt no about fitting them or they have to be pro done?

[nathan.]

yeah, i still think ollytb is gonna be quicker. that video he posted up was awesome, very fast.
does olly h have any track experience?

[scott.parker]

Now im depressed :cry:

[dhdev (Oli)]

Lets not give up on the nova!! lets make it a threesome, I'm also an Olly and i'm willing to have a go at all challengers on the track :evil: I've got the power of a 2.0l with the handling of a small block :twisted:

[dhdev (Oli)]

just read the drivers weights lol :lol:
driver; DHdev (olly D) 10st
co-driver; Novaneil 6.5st? (and thats when he's just eaten :lol: )

[Dar]

I've been thinking about how this and to be honest if the cars are on the track at the same time it isn't going to be a true representation of how the cars compare.

This is bacause they are so well matched that even if the faster car is behind it won't be easy to overtake and its dead easy to make it difficult for cars to overtake you as well.

Plus because its a trackday you can't go diving in to corners outbreaking other cars. Well not unless they allow that at Donny but I haven't been to a trackday that allows this. Thats because its about having a bit of fun and blasting your car around the track and not racing other cars.

So I think it would be fair to also have a set of timed laps for each car. The fastest lap time wins.

Not that anyone will take any notice of this but I thought it was worth a mention.

dhdev - If your in on this then my money is on you :twisted: Not because you have a small block engine but because you have a better BHP/Ton and you have the diff :)

Im a bit gutted I can't take my car :( then I could prove that 2l Nova's do handle. ho hum.

[ollster]

i should ge my car finished and have a go too becuase it would be olly hewitt vs olly hewitt vs olly then lol :lol:

[NovaNeil]

The Oli above (DHDEV) is going to whop both there ass's!!!!!!!! :!:

Im his co-driver :P

Neil

[NovaNeil]

co-driver; Novaneil 6.5st? (and thats when he's just eaten )




Oih!!!!!! I weigh 7.5 Stone now...... 7.0 when I take a dump :lol:

[dhdev (Oli)]

Make sure u take a dump then :D don't want u slowing me down :lol:

how much do u weigh cos i reckon our combined weight is prob close to one of the other oli's :lol:

[scott.parker]

lmao at you two,neil if you weigh that little you will pass out when olly takes you out in the car round the track..

And Dar yes mate i think thats the best way,they should get timed at track side then compair times,we did this last time when we went..
lol i was in the slower range,i got 1.34 (but was my fist run at donny,thats my excuse :wink: ) i know benji and karl got faster times.

Though at this point lads it looks as im not going to this,as i have been of work dude to hurting my arm,and now im finding it hard to find work,so im kinda skint(so to speak) TB's/diff/Cage/and anyother goodies on hold :(

Scott

[Matt_2ltr_16v]

reckon its gonn abe very close but the Nova will take it.
u gotta remember that track days r arranged for fun and not for racing! so there will be no proper race goin on. just 2 blokes driving fast round a track!

[Mike.]

its too close too call really because the astra out weighs the nova but the astra has the more power, that surely would make the cars fairly equal, at the end of the day its down to the driver

[scott.parker]

Well sorry to olly H as i have not seen him drive,but i still would put money on olly TB,as i have seen his driving skill,he's good and that astra is fast with really really good handling,i think the astra is better suted to the engin,as they built to take a big engine like that..

Where i know my self the nova just was not ment for it,even when you get a nova with a C20XE in it's still not going to handle great if you put the best susspension set up money could buy,the engine sits to far forward over the axis,making understeer a problem,when you look at a small block engine such as jims,or dans you see they sit perfect with the main wieght sat dead center at point of axis..

Some times i wonder if i made the right choice,and i think i would use a c16xe if i could do it again,just to get better handling,but for power,to the amount it coast's the C20xe is best..

Scott

[Philsutton]

the mk1's never came with 2.0's though did they? i thought they came with more nova like engines?

[scott.parker]

the mk1's never came with 2.0's though did they? i thought they came with more nova like engines?

True they wer 1.8 tge's but still they are better matched to the engine then the nova,im sure there must be others out there that can fill in the gaps better then i could..

Scott

[benji]

the 1.8's are big blocks same as the 2l 8v

[novashed]

yeah, i still think ollytb is gonna be quicker. that video he posted up was awesome, very fast.
does olly h have any track experience?

olly H is a good mate of mine. hes had some track experience in his previous car mk3 astra LET.

ive done a lot of work on this nova after he smashed it when returning home from fitting his bucket seats wiht him. the car is awsome, hes a good driver, still getting used to the car though, i reckon itl be close, especially with TB`s fitted, didnt need them though fast a F*CK in the first place weighing absolutely nothing.

[Jonlem]

The nova is certainly a quicker track car with the diff, it would be very close but it could easily be decided from driver capability.

I was supposed to be driving my mates 300bhp let nova with a diff but last night he chose to break it rather than risk bugering anything up on the track day, so we'll be coming in my car that I've been rebuilding, one slight problem is that its not finished yet and i've only got 6 days to do it,

eitherway way, its going to be a good ay for us all

[benji]

it's gonna snow

[alistairolsen]

that should make for some fun lol!
