Hi folks, ive got a cracking 16v nova that is regretably going up for sale,
Its a mk2 on a J plate, this car was built by hyndsy a member of this forum who seriously knows his stuff!!
The car started life as a 1litre and was stripped back to a shell, a GSI doner car was used and everything has been swapped over including bumpers, spoilers, windows (which have a slight tint compared to the 1 litre), dashboard now with a digital dash, seats carpets the lot, so now looks like de-badged GSI, you cant tell the difference.
Before the windows went in the car was given a complete re-spray with 2 new front wings, and lips removed from rear arches, also de-locked doors.
ENGINE and running gear, the engine came out of an Astra GTE 16v, as did the gearbox, its had a bottom end re-build, and a COSCAST HEAD fitted, with new headgasket set, belts etc, also had a brand new induction kit, and performance exhaust (full system), its set up with gte shafts with cav 2.0 inner cv`s which seem to be more reliable than all these fancy alleged 300bhp shafts.
SUSPENSION , its had brand new pmc shocks and running GSI springs which gives both great handling and reasonable comfort, its also polybushed all round and has an extra anti-roll bar on the front, wishbones etc are all off GSI.
BRAKES , the front is set up with astra gsi calipers, and brand astra GSI discs and pads, the rear has brand new GSI drums, also new goodridge hoses all round.
SECURITY, car has been de-locked and a new toad A1606 cat1 alarm and immoboliser has been fitted.
WHEELS, fitted with 15" fox flat five spokes, not sure of exact model, with excellent tyres all round.
Think ive got all of in now, car has been used as 2nd car and has only done 600miles since it was built, like ive said above EVERYTHING is new, from brakes, suspension, exhaust, induction kit, alarm so its had a load of money thrown at it as well as some serious man hours to build
MOT till june 15th, and TAXED 31/05/06, am asking ?2200 for the car, which i think is very reasonable considering all the work and new parts that have went into building the car.
THIS CAR NEEDS NOTHING ?2200, cheers for now Dave
