[Adam]

They look sweeeeet.
100% suit the car, look way better than the old alloys.

What colour are they? Anthracite?
Look Awesome!

[Nick]

Just some cool colour that was suggested to me in the bodyshop ! Proff Sprayed , it's metallic too !

They just look like massive steelies on a 1.2 nova.. hehehe

[Jack]

Very nice sir.

No trees? :eek:

[draper]

looks good mate. 141, bet thats fun !!

and are the smartiethe new ones without artificial flavourings ?

[dannyb]

Do the sweets add any bhp? The wheels look brilliant with the bumpers, what colour have you sprayed the bumpers mate?

[Nick]

Yer it goes alright ! its roughly the same as a standard XE, but i guess i'd loose out on the top-end !

Havn't sprayed the bumpers, just the original Anthracite plastic finish !

[Mazz]

Looks nice dude, nice colour aswell...

[Rexy]

I rather like that :)

[Nick]

Looks nice dude, nice colour aswell...

Are you blind !? it's ****ty brown lol

[krobinson]

Looks much better nick! Fair play.

You should get a SRI rocker on now, and a new washer bottle, and strut brace.

Keith

[Tazzy]

that looks really nice, ive been looking for a set of those alloys for years, a found a set once on a cav, but then the car got nicked! lol

the car has got kinda like a street sleeper look! would fit in well in bham wheels on a saturday night!

[Lee]

Love the colour combination mate, looks great.

Sweeties have given me a chomp craving!

[Nick]

Keith, i'm using all the old 1.2 breather setup at the mo, but i've got my 1600 rocker cover all sprayed up to go on ! This has another breather outlet on the cam cover ?

I also need a catch tank, as i've got a loose crankcase breather pipe at the mo, it just needs sorting out - which i can't be ****d to do at this moment

[burgo]

Very nice sir.

No trees? :eek: theres pot plants is that not good enough lol

[Nova_Houch7]

lookin sweeet mate, rely likin it, must be fun to drive!

Cant wait to see it with the 80mm dropped rear.

L

[Ste L]

Are you blind !? it's ****ty brown lol


i still like the colour though, ****ty brown or not lol

[Ricky G]

forget the nova what about that xr2?? is it yours?? she looks to be in good original condition from what i can see. is there anything special about it other than it being a nice looking motor?

Yer it's mine, used to belong to fester off here. Its 100% standard, every reciept and bill from new, serviced every 6 months by ford e.t.c FSH. Only got 30k on the clock too

[novabex]

Nice! Love the fiesta too!!! Lushness!

Edit: I am in love with both those cars. You lucky *******!!! lol

[Spudly]

That had me puzzled for a min there when you said it looks like a 1200, as i stupidly thought it was oops lol, errr where can ya get -80mm springs as i neeeed some lol i got 50 front and what seems like 35 rear and it looks very wrong lol, very very nice nova you got buddy and i spose i gotta compliment the XRpoo aswell hehehe!!!

[Ricky G]

if you dont mind me asking how much did you give for the fiesta? are u planning on keeping it for a long time?

[Mike.]

the new wheels look great nick, they really go with the car, much better than the other wheels.

[Nick]

if you dont mind me asking how much did you give for the fiesta? are u planning on keeping it for a long time?

I think i'm going to keep it...

you'd have to offer 3.5k + to make me tempted to sell it, and lets face it, that isn't going to happen lol !

[craig0120]

a little off topic but whats the spec of your engine nick? as im building a 1.6 8v and putting my t40's on it just wondered what ind of power i will be getting

[Nick]

rightio

Bottom end has had a full rebuild, Oversize Main bearing set and shells, ARP conrod Bolts, Conrods have been Deseamed/shotpeened and balanced as a set, Crankshaft has been Lightened and Balanced, Flywheel has been Lightened and Balanced, Block was honed and Skimmed, retaining standard bore. New piston rings/seals/gaskets e.t.c.. Head has had rediculous amounts of porting, but for the moment is retaining standard valves, head skimmed. Kent 276deg Camshaft, with kent Stiffened valve springs and lifters/followers. Mangoletsi round port inlet Manifold for T40's. Fully rebuilt Dellorto T40 Carburettors with Short trumpets, and twin K&N Filters. Ashley 4-1 Manifold and straight through system (i was told this is based on the grp A Dealersport design ?)

probably some bits n bobs i've missed off, but i'l be gettin bigger valves and an extreme cam with solid lifters soon, hopefully it'l make something like the power of Jims SRT40 !

[ANDYRACER]

Saw it last night at the Cruise Nick, looks bloody tidy and sound really throaty.
Mine was the white nova sri with grey primer on the rear arches.

[novabex]

This the cruise in preston?

[Nick]

LOL should have said hello !

unfortunatly it was lol, me and my mate with his pulsar randomly decided to go, he'd just stripped his interior so i had to take mine along !

turns out a few people were interested, so i ended up leaving bonnet open all night

[Nick]

Just took it out after a good clean with a friend of mine and his Clio 172 !
