[bunter]

ok well seeing as im far from the mechanic type i actually did my nova 16v`s sump gasket today!! im really proud that i did it and take great satisfaction knowing i did the work and didnt get some one else to do it!! might seem easy to a lot people on here but im crap with spanners etc :)

so true mate!! i have a set of throttle bodies to go on in the next few weeks but while im more than willing to try my hand at jobs like the sump gaskey theres no way im attempting to fit those :D

i know the felling mate. when i was about to put my car on the road, i gave it an oil change, so changed the filter and sump gasket. as id not done any work on the engine before i was well chuffed. now i dont care i just try anything. if it fooks up then oh well. just get stuck in mate!

well i know absolutely nothing about them other than it will make my car go faster haha!! i have a mate whos done all that sort of stuff before so it will only cost me a few beers and i might learn something from him as im sure il be chief tool fetcher :)

theres no better way to learn than by doing. its only swapping inlets.
nothing too hard there. the only little efforts are getting the TB's setup etc which is done at a RR anyway

thats very true, everything i've done on my car, i've done myself, and learnt along the way,

asking question's on here when i needed, and a help of a few mates, :thumb:

i think i shall just watch this time!! they cost me a lot of hard earned cash so i dont want to break anything. i have a few more jobs to do on the nova before it goes for the new mot so they will keep me busy. cant wait til its all done, i can finally get a track day in :P
