[rickyholder]

how much do you think this car would be worth
VAUXHALL NOVA 2.0 LTR REDTOP
THE ENGINE IS OUT OF A CALIBRA AND ONLY DONE 85K
THIS CAR IS NOT FOR THE LIGHT HEARTED OR FIRST TIME DRIVERS ITS NOT LIKE THE REST OF THE OTHER NOVA'S THAT GET JUST SOME MECHANIC TO STICK A REDTOP IN IT, IT HAS BEEN PROFESSIANALY DONE BY BOWLING BANK GARAGE PERFORMANCE CARS THEY ARE SO PROUD OF IT THEY PUT THERE NAME ON IT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE, THIS CAR HAS BEEN STRENTHENED THAT MUCH THAT IT CAN HANDLE 300BHP, THE CAR IS FITTED WITH A TOAD ALARM SYSTEM LOTS OF RECIEPTS TOO MANY TO LIST IT IS A 2.0 LTR ON THE LOG BOOKS AND SOUNDS UNBELIEVABLE AND WOULD BEAT ALOT OF RS TURBO'S. NICE SET OF 15 INCH BLACK WHEELS AND NICE TYRES GOT A PAIR OF 6X9 WITH IT BUT SADLY NO STEREO
THIS CAR AND BODY WORK IS UNBELIEVABLE FOR ITS AGE
IT IS AROUND 170 BHP AND IS CAPABLE OF 155+MPH
MODS
UPRATED FRONT BRAKES
POWERFLOW FULL SYSTEM
KONI ADJUSTABLE'S
PROFFESIONAL REDTOP CONVERSION
FAST FIT NOVA C20XE CONVERSION KIT
OIL COOLER
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
BAD POINTS
DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IS A BIT STICKY TO GO UP BUT DOES WORK OK.
THERE IS A TINY LITTLE DINT ON THE D/S QTR PANNEL YOU CANNOT EVEN SEE IT IN THE PICTURE SO I DID NOT BOTHER TO PUT IT ON
WEAR AND TEAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT PROGRESSED INTO LITTLE RIP NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IT IS A COMMON FAULT

dont know mate but im nearly 100% certain that draper bid on that on ebay about a month ago.

[draper]

was it on ebay a while ago ??

[rickyholder]

maybe i ant bought it but was just wondering how much people pay for a car like that

[draper]

i bid ?1600 but didnt meet the reserve, i know the guy selling (poss you) wanted as close to 2k as he could get, its only worth what someone will pay

[rickyholder]

no its not me but someone was wanting a deal with me for my saxo vtr and i just wondered if it was worth it

[draper]

i would pal, saxos are tosh - a 2ltr novewil mae you smile everytime you drive it

[Stuart]

wouldnt touch it with a barge pole imho

[draper]

wouldnt touch it with a barge pole imho

why not ??

[Dave.]

wouldnt touch it with a barge pole imho

it looks ok to me, looks acually like a track car from behind
apart from the trakkied chav walking up the road

[General Baxter]

i would like to know how hes get an extra 20bhp from it!
oh it must be powerflow

tbh i would not pay more than ?1400 for it with 12months tax and mot!

[muzzy]

?1400, too many overpriced nova's around these days

[Stuart]

something just dosent "feel" right about it...... i guess the description dosent do it any favours lol

[Lee H]

155+ mph on an F20? Doubt it!!

[Green16v]

155+ mph on an F20? Doubt it!!

I got 150mph out of my F13 before i started stripping cogs!!

[Adam]

You must have a low FD and high/no rev limit then.

[SuperNova!]

I agree with stu here something doesnt look right and with one far away picture of a dirty car,

I wouldnt want to pay no where near 1400 quid for it

[draper]

there were better pics on the listing tho, and i spoke to the guy and he seemed a decent enough chap - i put my max bid in and it wasnt enough, fair enough

FAST FIT NOVA C20XE CONVERSION KIT


not heard of one of them before :confused:

[sri_boi]

cant realy say anythink about a picture can you, i mean it could look stunning on a pic and be rotten, have to see it in flesh to give a price!

[lee coley]

I wouldnt pay no more that ?500 for a nova because you dont no what your buying! unless you no the car very well.

[Philsutton]

lmfao @ 155mph, bored of hearing novas that do 150mph+ on f20s

[sri_boi]

how quick would you say?

[scott.parker]

Im with Stu on this one,the description si really "chavvy" and is not the right way to try sell the car at the price he wants,as he's put "will beat most rs turbos" or something hes only going to atract chavs to it etc..



lmfao @ 155mph, bored of hearing novas that do 150mph+ on f20s

Why not with massive 19s and a big tyre wall it could be done lol

Scott

[scott.parker]

how quick would you say?

143mph is possible,although any speedo gear will read that to be around 150-153mph..

Scott

[draper]

my old XE wasn reading 147 on my digi dash, dunno what that is actually - any guesses ??

[scott.parker]

Wheel and tyre size?

Im sure somewhere there was a site you could load your rolling radius and final drive etc into ti and it would tell you your top speed (though it still seamed to be out) lol.

Scott

[draper]

15s (fanblades), tyres were 5 high side wall, iirc
