Hi everyone this is my first post on the forum.
Some of you might think I'm mad but I've just purchased a nova on ebay with the intention of using on as a beginners trackday car. Cost me ?350
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4641043703&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3APIC&rd=1#ebayphotohosting (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4641043703&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3APIC&rd=1#ebayphotohosting)
I'm aware that it's not the best engine to put in a nova but for ?350 with mot and tax im hoping I can make the most of what it is. I went for it as the car was local plus the fact that it's an early Nova appeals to me.
I plan to get some new tyres as the ones on are all but illegal, replace the rear arches found these for ?10 each which my dad can weld in.
The main area of concern is the brakes they came from the same car as the engine (1.6 cav) if I was just to replace the disks and pads what?s my best option, will vented disks fit under the callipers?
Opinions and advice gratefully received.
Cheers
