i need a bit of help

since im buliding this 'super' engine, i was wondering, to strip the white insides down, ice, half the dash, cut the inside of the doors off,

keep the roll cage and just 1 set of 4" speakers in the false floor


well should i or should i not, i can divide my ice build up between the other 4 novas i have :roll:

what ever gets most votes ill do

fiberglass bumpers and bootlid, poly windows ect:

no you nobber :wink: :lol:

[General Baxter]

no you nobber :wink: :lol:

scared it might kill your 2L ;) (you would have to be in the blast range, when my block explods)

i have a nice 1.2i shell which i can stick all this crap in, including my 1400 16v engine

[Adam]

I voted Yes as it sounds like that is what you want to do.
But i wouldn't
first of all
-Too much effort required

-And all the cost of MDF etc is just wasted

If you wanna chuck that ICE some where for FREE, you know where i am :wink: :lol:

At the end of the day its your car, do what you fookin want with it :roll: :lol:

[General Baxter]

do what you fookin want with it :roll: :lol:

last time somebody said that to me, i cut up a 2L :roll:

[addgsi]

it would go like hell but dont know about the speakers wiv all that noise and power would you even need a system :lol:

[ANDYRACER]

Id strip the white one out and stick the ice in the 1.2i along with the 1.4 16v and it wouldnt be a waste because all your boxes will fit in your other nova.

[Riggy]

do what you fookin want with it :roll: :lol:

Question u wana ask ur self dude is, is it gona make that much of a difference?

i mean if you can go down a 1/4 making serious noise with ur ice as well ass kickin everyones ass I'd keep it

would shock a few ppl

less weight = more accelration = quicker 0-60 / 1/4 times

if your seriously going for a "big power" small block then get the mass of the car down to effectively add power to the equation. as its all about power to weight ratio.

eg my omega
210 bhp but it weighs 1.6 tons

a 1.6 gsi nova fully interioerd has
100 bhp and weighs aprox half that of the omega

so they have near as damn it the same power to weight but the nova is more "useable" so its faster off the mark.

just get rid of the soud equipment, waste of time even trying to make a car fast if you have 500kg of speakers in the back
