My mate was driving his nova last week and took a bend too fast , back end stepped out and the passenger side rear corner took the brunt of a rather solid tree. Not good! Fortunatley he walked away with nothing more that a bit of whiplash and a heap load of exeperience!

that looks well f**** scary man, cant believe people walk away from that, to be onest people will rip him saying it was his fault, but i seen and heard of alot of accidents lately not just from novas but cars in general, its not a case of oh i got a nova lowered i can take any corner at 50mph its a case of taking one at 40 one day and for no reason the car not been able to take it or anything from a gearbox failure to suspension and your gonna have a nasty ride and neardeath experience (near if ur lucky)
i prefer not to mess about on corners and round abouts if i dont follow the speed limit its generally on an open road with no1 about still not clever when you see accidents like this
That looks like your Sr when you first got it Joff :lol:

that axle certainly beats my best effort, mine was nicely kinked in the middle, I'd expect that one to be pretty well flattened out where it's bent.
be used for tints of beans now
