Just been pointed out to me that my old nova is on ebay, so went and had a look, advert is here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9858&item=4525246000&rd=1) so you can see what I'm talking about.
Now when the car was sold I know that the guy broke the gearbox in less than a day! And he's basically ripped off all the spec that was written elsewhere. The car hasn't got a lightened bottom end, it's stock with skimmed standard pistons. Also the manifold was cracked in about 3 places, and I bet that hasn't been welded. The digidash wasn't working either due to a duff gearbox sender, so he may have fixed that, but I bet he doesn't mention the dented rear hatch where the spoiler was ripped off, or the rusty boot floor, oh and the damage to the front wing that wasn't repaired when the bonnet flipped open. As for pushing 160bhp, he must be on mind bending drugs! with the cracked manifold there's no way it would make that, and if it did I don't think the engine would last very long. So basically people don't believe everything you read! Oh, and the best bit is his starting price is more than he paid for the car. oh, and it's such a loved car that he's trying to get shot of it after 4 months of ownership! One to avoid peeps, well at that price anyway, it's only worth ?1500 MAX IMHO.
Rant Over!
