[draper]

gutted mate, i nearly bought this aswell, deal was done and dusted then 2 hours before i was due to leave to pick it up my mate let me down going to fetch it !!!

just 1 thing tho, why have you put in your sig its got engine mods ?? i was told it was a standard XE and certainly felt like a standard XE ??

[EUROTURBO]

not by far when you drove it was it a bit rough as you come down the gears.... thats cos it had a serious vacuum leak, 2 pipes were split once it was home and all set up n serviced it was ok

[SRlew]

gutted for you mate! but glad to hear its getting rebuilt! good luck and get some pics up when done

Well done glen, sod the money:thumb:

I know you said you were going to chat to a guy about getting mine finished and painted but its getting sorted now. I've finally got some pics to put up, http://www.novaload.net/forum/showthread.php?t=73898

[EUROTURBO]

good mate hope we have both got ours finished for PV07

[RJM25R]

I would remove that 157mph and 0-60 in 5.2 off your sig before the slagging starts....

[Markyc]

if anyone is goin to the meet at bluewater on the 3rd, its gonna be there i promise



i'll hold u to that 1!! if not u buy me a pint nxt time?? u turn up i'll buy u 1??

[H15 NVA]

trust me, we're on the case mark he'll be there in his nova!!!

[EUROTURBO]

stu tell rjm25r bout me n the cossie, kid you not he hit the limter at 155 and i was very slowly creapin past him.... and 0-60 in 5.2 was timed mate

[H15 NVA]

im always dubious bout self times 0-60 times but the cossie thing did happen!! and it wasnt a slow cossie either. even the 0-60 timing gear at trax aint accurate

[dan16v]

stu tell rjm25r bout me n the cossie, kid you not he hit the limter at 155 and i was very slowly creapin past him.... and 0-60 in 5.2 was timed mate

id say about 6 seconds is more like it for a 16v nova, and what box are you running? my f20 used to hit the limiter in 5th@ 148mph on the digi dash which imo is about 135mph in true terms, cosworth must have serious problems!!;)

[Rick Draper]

ROFLMFMO what the **** is this place coming 2. Next 1.2's with modified flux capaciters will be doing 0-60 runs in 4's and 1/4 miles in under 10.

Get the **** out of here with your bollocks claims.

[dan16v]

^ the subtle approach Rick, i like it!lol

[Paul]

Never drive the same once its been crashed, never fell like the same car either.

[Dan]

I would remove that 157mph and 0-60 in 5.2 off your sig before the slagging starts....

If i were you i would listen to the man :thumb: Nothing worse than nonsense like that displayed for all to slate, which tbh would be fully justified.

The self timed crap is always believed by the blinkered few that are actually stupid enough to do it (almost as bad as claiming a standard fit speedo is accurate), and i dare say you will reply with a remark proving my point ten fold lol lol lol lol lol

[Matt2107]

lol self timed with a stop watch probably... or was it counting in your head?

[EUROTURBO]

i cant prove any of it so you wust all be rite, lol, the 0-60 was done with a stop watch and to be honest even if the spedo was out the cossie one was prob too (bein that its a ****ty ford)

to be honest its still a fcukin fast car and it does me, i aint one to boast, if it aint rite then it aint rite, i aint like m parsons wiv the 1.0 sr supercharged turbo thing.....lol

i know you like this sorta ****, im gonna take this as a lesson

lesson to glen " NEVER CLAIM WITHOUT PROOF"

chears guys, i feel like a rite ****...

peace out

[vallanc3]

still there tho...

[EUROTURBO]

not any more, jesus give me time...lol

5 mins, your a bit hot aint ya

[womble sri]

where are the pics then?
and if it has had a proper smash the maybe it would be a good idea to reshell? ive got a mintish mark 2 sri its had a minor front ender needs new slam panel, driver door and bonnet. im gonna scrap it soon although i have been saying this for ages, but i have started stripping it now :thumb:

[EUROTURBO]

na got loads bein done to it.....

new rear qtr panel, rear panel, rear bumper, boot floor, wide mouth gsi front bumper, smoothed rear bumper, and a full respray

lots o money

[EUROTURBO]

pics up in first post!

A very honourable and respectable reply, there are alot of people who would learn alot about forum behaviour from reading things like that :thumb:

Nice to see examples like that crop up :cool:

[letvalva]

well when my old car was a 20xe nova it hit the limmiter at 147 mph in 5th on a road angel gps speedo ad topped out long before that(digi clocks), when it had standard clocks in it with an xe in it would do the clock in 4th gear thats how far out they were lol
