Hello all! how is everyone?
Some of you may remember from back in 't' day when I was a regular user and also from this years MK meet in January (when is the next one??)
However, I've not sufficied to the Corsa 'crew massive' or became a Paxo chav, I still have my old Nova!
I've made a few a changes just recently and been on ebay quite a lot but at the minute I've not got hold of a decent digi cam to show you my latest workings......
As you may know, my Nova in my sig was stolen in June 2004 and found again minus everything, so I went on a mission buying parts left, right and center (at a cost of around ?6.5K+) to get it rebuilt. Its now getting there, all I'm waiting on is a fresh layer of Vauxhall Flame red and some Compomotives to boot!
Its undergoune some changes, its now caged up, sparco bucketed and weber fed! Along with an Ashley system and manifold and a blydenstien b+ head (?100!! brand new). Topped of with a set of T40's and a Nova sport inlet manifold and airbox! Looks very neat. I just need some samco's and chrome bits?
It now has GSi brakes with brembo pads and vented an grooved disks, a full Jamex suspension kit, along with braided brake line's and a whole host of new body panels consisting of, x2 new front wings, x2 new doors, x2 new rear arches, x2 new syll panels, x4 inner arches and x1 new slam panel! Along with a new steering column and Qauife quick rack, and my own custom ignition loom as I was to skint at the time to pay a auto sparky to do it!
The rear seating area has been replaced with an entire false floor and a huge chrome rear strut brace lives in there along with the other end to my harnesses and a nice fresh OMP roll cage!! Oh, and I finally purchased a set of clear rear lights aswell!
The rear 'door' cards have since been replaced with genuine carbon fibre items and in the cabin now lives a pair of sparco sprints in blue with three point harnesses (in blue) a 3 spoke sparco steering wheel and a nice momo gearknob and handbrake lever.
Its getting there! Gradually? But after approx ?6.5k it should be?
My future plans are to get all the pics up including a step by step guide with photos on how to fit T40's to an SR. And get it rolling roaded of course!
By the time you read this far down youv'e probably feel asleep like, its an essay I know but I'd never let any of those thieving scum get one over on me!!
Some one let me know when the next novaload meet is and you may well see me there!?
Just though I'd keep you horrible lot upto date!
Until next time.
Mike :D
