my x14xe nova

[rybo]

i stuffed my corsa after spending a wedge on it so took the good bits into a better car-its taking time but im getting there it has kent cams,4 branch,cage,buckets,harnesses etc inc gsi dash (and carbon door panels when they arrive)
wondered what you lot thought so far? dont be too harsh on her lads
ive got more recent pics if you think there worthy but the shell is a minter...

Looks a top condition shell, good to see a bit of a change to usual engines going into a nova.
Nice.

i considered the old redtop route but itll be light,well balanced and it went fairly well in the corsa-inlet manifold when its finally on the road-its been a minor struggle at tims but nobody round here has attempted it so thought what the hell-ta for the motivation boost:thumb:

looks tidy mate, seen it a few times up sandylands way like and it isnt half clean

[rybo]

yep it was at ma sisters there for a bit-go different wheels on it since then and cage went in,got some beta pics when i get round to it,hoping to have it running soon,itll prob be for sale by summer...want to build a mk1 astra with an LET in it,had to put one last nova togetha coz you cant beat them for fun and general old school brilliance
miss my mustard yellow sr tho-u might not be old enough to rememba seeing that one-then i had the flip painted gsi lookalikey,get ya self round with some coin young lad and itll be yours ha

[rybo]

my mates say red gsi bumpers..i say black gsi ones...what you lot
reckon?

[Mikey_J]

Personally id go with black.. The x14xe is majorly restricted by the inlet manifold..stick a mantzle (sp) 1 on there and a remap and it should go like stink!

[tom reid]

What type of cams are you running?
Car looks good though, any more pics?
Black bumpers :thumb:

[rybo]

got loads ill get some up asap-there just kent cams (got code somewhere) they wer 10bhp up on a standard motor but worked very well with the viper and 4-branch/decati had..
want an inlet badly does any one know who makes the cheaper ones??then id get it mapped of course
was outside having a staring thinking moment as ya do earlier and shes setin a blow over and black bumpers defo-would love some tigra 15s in black-at mo ive got wolfrace urban octanes-theyre nice but look tacky so theyll av to go

[Rob77]

Black bumpers definitly, as seen here on Nick's MINT beast: http://www.novaload.net/forum/showthread.php?t=69124

And as for this :
want to build a mk1 astra with an LET in it Oh yes! I do LOVE mk1 Astra's!

Good luck with the project mate!
