2.0 16V Turbo Nova

[Paul]

The time has finally come to sell my car. I have owned it for the last 4 years, its had no expense spared, either money or time.

It started life as a 1400SR mk1 In Red, owned by a middle aged man from new, then a old lady. I then bought the car, being the third owner, back in July 2002.

This car really isnt for the faint hearted.

Car is approx 280bhp.
I estimate it to do a 0-60 in the very low 5?s.
Standing 1/4mile is 13.1@108mph (13.1@108mph), but that was my first time down the strip!
Standing 1/8mile is 9.1@87mph (9.1@87mph) in standing water.

This car is capable of getting into the 12s down the ?.

[Paul]

[Jonlem]

Calibra 16v fuel pump !

Nice car but thats worrying.

[rsintheplace]

loving the nova it looks awsome, just thought id say thats my saab in the backround you was racing at pod, i remember it quite well lol.

[Ricky G]

what was the result then lads?? or am i asking a stupid question?

[rsintheplace]

i think he beat me by .4 of a second lol, my 1st run aswell :D

[Paul]

16.4 on the first run at 83 mph, but ended up with the 13.1@108 :D:D:D

Whys a 16V Fuel pump worrying, it flows as well as a cally t one!

[Jonlem]

I wasn't aware of that ?

But for phase 2 you should NOT be running a stock fuel pump anyway.

Too on the limit for my liking.

Besides that as I said nice car and good luck with the sale :)

[Paul]

To be honest I think Ive decided not to sell this now, ive spent way too much on it and its very nearly how I want it, so im going to finish it first.

Cheers for that Jonlem, think during the winter when it comes off the road it will be changed then. Plus it making an awful racket anyway!:thumb:
