Hi You Guys!

I am new here.. i am leroy from the netherlands and i love the Opel Corsa/Vauxhall Nova. In the uk there is a much bigger Nova scene then in the netherlands, so that is why i registrered here. I think you can help me alot with bodystyling, engine probs etc. I drive a Nova 1.2... with a different engine that is.. It is a 130Hp SEH engine (combined with 40mm webers) from a kadett GSI, cavaleir or something you call them here right?
It has been modified a bit though, but i do not know the english words for them.. bit strange though for i am studying International Bussiness and Management Studies. A course completely in Enlish.. hehe. Well what ever.. I hope that i will have a great time at this forum.. i really love the site and forum, so much info and cool pics!!! Owh right.. a few pics of my car.

Next year i will swap this engine for an C20XE from an Astra with only 90thousend kilometers... :lol: 8) First i want to do a bit of exterior styling, in the netherlands there aint a lot of products for the Nova, so i hope you can help me out with lots of ideas en products and or sites.

CHeerss,
Leroy :wink:

get the corsa c (i think you'll call it) bubble shaped car wiper and idacator stalks.
colour code your heater/fan switches.
single wiper
and drop the suspension down.

Rotterdam is my hometown for 21years now.. Born and Raised :D

Next year the SEH engine will be replaced with a C20XE.. bought the engine from a friend who smashed his astra gsi and now it is just lying around in my shed, so this year i will start preparing the engine for the conversion. Replacing al the stuff that needs to be replaced and possibilities that will make it a better c20xe.. I'll keep you posted i'm sure :wink:
