Hello novaload!

[John]

Hi to everyone on novaload!! Just joined today! Hope i've posted this in the right place! Some of you will know me as johnh ofof pvg. Drive a 16v nova which was featured in total vauxhall a couple of months back (baby blue running a modded X14xe, irmscher rims etc) Only had a pc at home for about 6 months now, so PLEASE forgive me if my pc skills aren't up to standard! Also have a mk2 astra xe van (not running), a corsa d van, A hutchinsons convertible (awaiting resto), astra g sport 1.6 16v (the wifes) and lastly a nova sport, tatty but complete again awaiting a resto!

Anyway, you had my life story already! see you at a post soon!:thumb:

Thanks very much! I'm a bit of a computer phobe i'm afraid but i'm on the case! (there's some on pvg) As per some other comments i've made, it needs some rear coilovers and 13's and dropping in the weeds!! I'm undecided what to do with it at the mo as i've got way too many projects on the go, i'll either sell it in bits or reicarnate it and sell the other projects.:confused:
Think i'll pass on the airbrushing though Lol!

[RJM25R]

I was gonna 13" my project (not the green one in my sig-my purple one) with coilovers.... I bought 7.5x13" wheels and tyres but couldn't get any decent brakes behind them.... Pastel colour chosen, alcantara/carbon buckets, *** and *** and ******** just need to get my finger out and finish it... but with 15" bbs to clear 288mm discs...

[John]

Sounds sweet! Thats the troublr i had with mine as it has v6 brakes, so the irmscher rims were the only wheels i could get to fit. What size tyres were you going to use on the 7.5 rims?

[RJM25R]

195/45/13" Dunlops. I work for VW and one of the lads at work runs a Polo G40 with 8x13" and the same tyres, we buy direct from Dunlop as they are VW approved....

[John]

Ahh, i see! Bet the ride is well harsh on 45 section tyres! The only other tyres i've seen in this size were contis and a tyre dealer we use at work couldn't get 'em in. nearly 80 quid a pop. I will have my own brit/euro nova one day, house /wife dependant though Lol. Thinking along the lines of possibly a saloon, 1.3cdti, ****e brown paint with chrome detailing, a/c, pas, full length polo sunroof, 13" rims and low enough to hit the white lines!!
