1.0 with 1.4sr engine in (sitting there rusting away)
gsi (shafted engine)
may get another gsi if its still for sale this week
may even get 1.2 if a nice 1 crops up to reshell the gsi with the shafted engine.

I've had about 14 altogether, 1.0 / 1.2 / 1.3 / 1.6 / 2.0 16v & now building 16v turbo !
Had a few small engined ones as cheap run abouts, bought a few to sell on again and had about 3 or 4 as project cars.

Me... Perverted, Never!

My car's actually a saxo with Vauxhall Badges and "super Nova conversion kit? It?s amazing how you change the appearance of a car with some bog and fibreglass. I've paid attention to detail as well, and used the 1297cc Engine as found in the periodic nova days along with periodic mk1 headlights, grill bumper and even clear repeaters.

Overall I?m happy with my saxo, It started life as a 1.0l with VTS badges . . .

buy a proper car then lmao

Jack
27-10-05, 05:35 PM
Oh I will, but unfortunately my definition of "proper car" is quite likely the same as yours which means this:

(except without the bling wheels lol)

...which will no doubt produce a fuel bill the size of a small European country's GNP lol

I bought a 1.3 SR when I was 16, and did a bit of work to it for when I passed my test, however when I started ringing around for insurance quotes when I was nearer 17, I realised the SR had to go!!

After the SR, I was lucky enough to find a 1.0 Gem that had been lightly rear ended, so I persuaded the old lady that owned it to get the insurance company to pay out and let her keep the car, so I got a nice 1 owner Nova with 40,000 miles for ?100!!
?50 later and the damage was fixed (was very lucky and got a tailgate the right colour!!!), got an insurance quote I could afford, and was on the road!

It lasted almost a year, when I decided I needed a derv, so sold it! (have regretted it ever since because it was MINT!)

Have had 2/3 for "field" use in between the 1.0 and my current GSi project!

Also have a Breeze Blue SRi bought, but haven't got round to collecting it yet!!!

I have had 4:

1.4sr which was my first car
1.6 gsi which I later turbo'd, then wrote it off!
1.6 gsi which I own for about a week then sold
1.6 gsi turbo which I have now.

But I might make it 5 soon as I want to buy another one over the winter as a runabout?

Ive had 3 Nova's. B reg 1.2 as 1st car, that got modded & resprayed etc.

Then I bought my GSi thats been fully renovated & turbo'd by Courtenay.

Ive just bought a 1.2 Luxe + on a K plate. Bought it as a works run around, but as I have been deprived of using the GSi for nearly 2 yrs Ive got the Nova bug again (hence on here more) & am starting the mods on the Lux.

Lol i'l second that - You pay even more for an engine conversion than you would if it were a real GSi

I struggled to get insurance and i'm 19 with 2 years driving - i think Skoob found it challenging to get a good qoute too ??

I've only had one - 1.2 Luxe, now a E16ST40 Luxe/GSi mishmash lol

I doubt i'l ever sell this, or buy another - Want something American with 8 cylinders for my next car
