25yr old this year wanted a fun car for navigational rallys, so I went and bought myself a 1.4sr Red with roll cage just to be on the safe side, went to pick it up not expecting yo much for the price (under?400) turns out to be the cleanest Nova I have seen in my shelterd life, untill I logged on to this forum that is. So anyway no rust to be seen even battery box, rear arches and front wings were totally clean!! Could not beleve this at first so spent an entire afternoon looking for rust and found none:). I'm one happy lass, only thing wrong was the timing was out - fixed. and suspention a bit soft so I asked around and was offerd a Koni Adjustable Lowering Kit new and boxed just wondered how good this make is and how much I should expect to pay for the full set?

Ok this is the basic idea u get a BIG map a bunch if instructions and a clue to start with which links to one of the instructions, and it takes u to a cheque point where you get another clue and so on. Most are 40 - 50 miles on minor roads at night bit like orientering in a car but a lot more fun!
