I have the fourth one around here and the only twin headlight all the other ones are dogs.

It has all the usuals air/con all electrics etc, plus being a limited edition it has a strutbrace standard, LSD, and the twin headlights and 43000 miles and it goes like stink very very surprisingly fast, I paid 3000 for it.

I sold the nova for 1250 quid with some music in.

Got to admit, that looks very nice indeed. You seem to have got a great price for the nova.

Needs Clear front indicators ;)

What size engines are they?

1331 twin cam 16v turbo :D

They have low and high boost settings on the dash standard and on low boost at 6.5psi they are 110 bhp and on high at 9psi they are 136bhp but they are very torquey and only weigh 880kgs.

Needless to say its been on high most of the time, and trying hard off boost I averaged 45mpg on the run!!

With a little tune and a few parts, decat, filter and exhaust turn the boost up a little about 12 psi and it will bang out 160bhp all day long

they are well nice, and yeah jack but when they go wrong it gets expensive............... especially as all the turbo's are imports and yeah all my brother's got on his atm is full custom made 3" system, master cylinder stop and boost controller and that thing flies! getting his decat and and new wheels too and yeah you probably can get 300bhp buty whats the point its just gonna spin in every gear, just like 1.5 turbo starlet that went up santa pod lol

Insurance isnt that bad TPFT 1149 pounds with elephant, thats being 19 with 2 years no claims.
