i think it looks mint, i want to know the engine spec! that power at the wheels thers gotta be alot of work involved!

i like that alot tho

burgo
06-03-07, 09:48 PM
jealous?lol not at all, im just bored of the same thing all the time

standard internals is he wise?nice car though

rc

you cannot beleive how fast this car is untill you see it! its makes your eyes water lol

its altready on here! here it is from two years ago in the features!

http://www.novaload.net/forum/viewfeaturecar.php?ref=2725

engines alot differnt to that now tho!

come on andy, chop chop with the rebuild i need someone to race lol

Jon_nova1
06-03-07, 10:16 PM
that can't be 300BHP on standard internals, hes either not running that power or has uprated internals, id think the engine would pop around 220-230BHP?

Lee H
06-03-07, 10:21 PM

Would it hell, loads of people run 280bhp with no problems. Would need a better than standard turbo though.

You say he's going for a straight cut box, guess that means he's running an F20 at the moment? that wouldn't take that power!!

Lee H
06-03-07, 10:25 PM
lol not at all, im just bored of the same thing all the time

So then lets all build a 1.7td and paint it matt black then.:roll:

No thought not because that would look totally ****.

Could at least be constructive, its far better than any of the ****e you have ever built so don't see why you have to criticise it!!

Does look very similar for definite, at least this one works though lol

Jack
07-03-07, 09:14 AM
I'm with Burgo on the looks, sure its tidy (would look better if the bonnet closed properly lol) but its nothing different.

Engine sounds good though. But, erm >300bhp through the front wheels? In a car thats ~750kg? That'll be interesting to drive :wtf: lol

Dar
07-03-07, 09:31 AM
Nice looking Nova with decent powa!!
Any more pictures?

Burgo does have a point and if you don't like a car im pretty sure that you don't have to own a better/faster one to have a valid opinon:p

Nice looking nova, but whats with the bonnet not fitting properly?

General Baxter
07-03-07, 10:32 AM
im with luke on this one, all novas are beginning to look the same,

why not fit a kingdom kit and 19"s dont follow the crowed be diff lol

Adam Moran
07-03-07, 10:33 AM
I quite like that but then im fan of standerd looking novas.

Im guessing the bonnet is meant to be like that, it prob has blocks on the back to raise it up so the heat can flow out of the bay, could be wrong tho lol

as for the power, i hope its true...... but because you type like a chav i dont believe you, sorry

but PLEASE learn to talk/type properly and come back with some evidence and prove us wrong ;)

General Baxter

That's where you wrong Dar. This is Novaload.net 2007 remember. EVERYTHING has to be 100% unique, reposts are not allowed and if you don't have a car faster than the one you're looking at you aren't allowed to comment on it.

Opinions that go against the grain are fast becoming a crime around here. Far too many people take a comment like "i dont like it, I'd prefer it in blue with different wheels" as meaning the same thing as "your mother sucks on the penis' of goats".

I'm getting a bit sick of it to be honest. If someone comes on here showing off pictures of their car they've got to expect to receive some comments from people who don't like it. Why you you be constructive about it? It's not like the owner of it, who obviously like their car, would go "you know what you're right, some halfords stickers would work nicely on my sunstrip".

Matt2107
07-03-07, 10:43 AM
Everyone knows where I stand.

Standard looking nova's do look smart but when confronted with a row of 9 standard cars with one that has a few unique touches (ie custom ventage, custom interior or something original) I know which one I'll spend more time looking at!

And they dont realise that when they throw abuse back from said comments, they get even more abuse and then wonder why lol

Youll notice that 'mostly' the first negative comments are polite.

Woaa... dat is wikkiiid bruv!

Learn to type or fcuk off...

As for the car, I like it, what spec is the engine?

Paul
07-03-07, 01:30 PM
i agree, im intrigued to know the spec on the engine please.

looks good though.

May well have 400bhp soon, but whats the driver like and what tyres, LSD etc etc, could be slower than a standard let up the strip if he cant get the power down...

So i choose to only watch out when he puts down a faster time than me, however then i will still not be that bothered because 300bhp through my front tyres is fine for me, any more and it will be uncontrollabel, no question of a doubt.

General Baxter

07-03-07, 03:04 PM
looks alright, i guess.....

just looks exactly the same as most nova's.. speedlines, and gsi kit...


has it got any other subtle details that would make it stand out, and be different?

dan16v
07-03-07, 03:12 PM
looks realy nice! just how novas should be, no stick on tat hanging off it!:)

novaboyopr
07-03-07, 04:05 PM
my let has standerd turbo and it runs 285.8bhp. so they can take it. but better to put on a t3 but still they run out of puff soon after 300bhp hybrid t3 im going for next 370bhp hoping for

dan16v
07-03-07, 04:36 PM
i have a hybrid t3, too small for 370, think you need a t34 or gt28

barnyvaux
07-03-07, 06:35 PM
sorry i haven't got back to answer all of your questions.
believe me this thing is QUICK just ask RC he's seen this car.
i don't know the full spec but its got quaff diff and yes its grips very well.
its chip'd uprated inter-cooler don't no wot else has been done, but peeps if your gonna run big power uprate first.
this engine has lasted about a year at this spec but really as it his toy its not used a great deal, its broken at the mo. clutch n leaking water out of block.
that's why its having a re-build just to give it strength so it can run its power better.
its got toyo proxi's all round,cant fault those tyres.
O and were not chav's thanks but i txt more than i type sorry....

end of the day everybody is allowed there opinion doesn't bother me if some of you don't like it. it is just another nova.

this car is very clean the owner has done it all him self apart from the respray.
i think he has done very well in 6yr's of owning this car. it did start as a GSI the that engine got played wiv,soon got board then in went a C20XE, he got beaten by a turbo'd corsa at santa pod, so then he had to turbo his.
1/4 mile has been run at 12.8seconds at 112mph that was when it was at 277bhp.
last time he went up the strip it woulnd't boost properly.
as for pic's i'll see wot i can do

Martin
07-03-07, 06:38 PM
setin a good time at pod, buts wats it liek int he twistys?

Phill wats youre corsa like on track(wel wat was it like until u changed the spec a lil)


Tis a good nova but its nothin unique smart all the same

barnyvaux
07-03-07, 06:45 PM
i never said it was unique i was just sharing another nova wiv all of u nova fans.
it puts a smile on my face everytime i get in it. well more like i sh*t myself lol
the bloke who owns it isn't scared of the car and no's how to drive it.
well u all will be able to see it at pvs along with mine.

yep this nova dosent look thats fast but beleive me its like a rocket ship!! sounds like a jet fighter wen its opened up!

you'll have to give andy a ring and get the full spec! and scan up some RR printouts to shut these up lol

got my rolling road tomorrow :)

burgo
07-03-07, 07:46 PM

Mark T
07-03-07, 07:55 PM
bothered wiv 338bhp n 304bhp at the wheels 319lb/ft i would b
trust me its crazy quick but looks suttle as.....
now havin 400bhp re-build wiv straight box goin on...

FYI a friend of mine has enquired at quaife (if thats who he's using) about the power that the straight cut boxes will take and about 300bhp is the maximum and definately not to be used for balls out drag launches..

The F28 is heavy but, I've never heard of one breaking and there are one or two in scandinavia running 600+

cooper_nova
07-03-07, 08:04 PM
looks a nice clean well modded nova, but i definately wouldn't call it "PHAT!!"

nice power on the lump too. burgo does have a point tho that it is like most other nova's in the looks department, good 1/4 mile times!!!. i'll be intruiged(sp) to see it at pv on the strip:thumb:

craig green
07-03-07, 08:36 PM
I agree. Its far from phat, but then isnt that phrase used for bodykitted Punto's or something?

I really like it, but then thats how I like my novas, tastefully styled (std) with some power.

People are slating the Speedlines & GSi look, but tbh the only reason its as popular as it is, is because ever since Novas became popular on the car modding scene, that kit was the stuff to have & was actually out of many peoples price range. PERIOD!
Things have come full circle, & most Novas are now in the hands of enthusiasts that arent chasing trends & fitting nasty fibreglass tat.

btw, if you had just said, 'heres my mates LET Nova, it runs 12.2 qtrs' you wouldnt have kopped as much flack.

Tell the owner its nice though!

Philsutton
07-03-07, 08:40 PM
you wont get anywhere near 370 with a T3, you will need a T34 an thats with the biggest exhaust housing as far as im aware

It takes about 10k to build a proper LET nova, and for people to turn around and just say its another GSI kit/Speedlines/LET combo, whoohoo is just silly.

keith, i have speedlines.I run 290mm Wilwood Dynalite 4 pot Calipers, they clear by literally a rizla thickness, but they dont touch! ince fitting coilovers I had to fit 5mm spacers to make the wheels clear the front struts. Dynalites provide awesome stopping power in my experience, have saved my life once or twice.

The Nova is nice, looks like a minter and been built properly, as for PVS tell your mate bring it on. lol Nice looking Nova. Hes running similar 1/4s to me. DOnt know about after re-build, well see how he gets the power down.

Nice car, I agree with some people its much better than the usual rubbish.

Dont like speedlines?
Dont like 300bhp novas?
Dont like Gsi's?

Why the hell are you interested in novas then? move on to saxos or something!!!:eek:

When you make a negative comment about gsi's or speedlines or turbos etc you offend most of the poeple on here who build proper novas and like keith said have plumbed about ?10k into them!

So go buy a rustly old nova and put 12" venoms on it and a 0.5litre engine and be happy that your different! lol

Your a dick dont twist what I said, Im not saying everyone should have the same car I am you tit

Just dont go slating speedlines etc its boring and always the same gypo ****s who dont have a decent nova themselves.

Im sick of it! Plus there aint many novas left now anyway, maybe when you go to a show there are similar novas there but driving round your own town there wont be.

lollol as if. The people who get offended by negative comments are insecure and need to learn that their taste is not going to suit everyone.

If you put pics of your car up and dont want negative comments, just put a big sign above the pics saying "if you cant any anything nice done say anything at all".

How boring would it be if everyone posted pics of their cars and we all had to say "oh yes its f*cking amazing let me kiss your ring"

Well said.


Your a dick dont twist what I said, Im not saying everyone should have the same car I am you tit

Just dont go slating speedlines etc its boring and always the same gypo ****s who dont have a decent nova themselves.

Im sick of it! Plus there aint many novas left now anyway, maybe when you go to a show there are similar novas there but driving round your own town there wont be.
Yes you are though. You're saying that because people like me have seen enough Novas with a GSi kit and speedlines, which to me is nothing new (bear in mind I didn't once say it looked bad), that I'm a dick and should fcuk off to play with Saxos? Sorry but that opinion has really fcuked me off.

You've proved exactly what was said in another post - that if you don't have a high powered, >?10k Nova, your opinion isn't worth a toss. Yes, my Nova is a shed, but then I'm not building it to be a show stopper. TBH, I can't afford to spend ?10k on a Nova - does that make me a lesser member? Make my opinions worthless? Because I don't fritter money away on a car thats originally only worth ?500 at best?

I can't fault the guy for his enginework, that amount of power will make a very capable car, albeit IMO a little overkill for FWD. And yes, I appreciate the GSi/Speedline look, but its been done time and time again. Its nice to see something different once in a while, even if I don't like the look of it.

Why don't you take your arrogant attitude away with you and go play with Saxos yourself.

Sorry for the rant lol

look its the same two again, go build decent novas and stop chatting ****e!!!!!!!!

I dont have a saxo I have a focus rs so ill take your brillant advice and go play with it lol :p

Decent novas can be built on a budget of about ?3k if you have some taste, which you two obviously dont!

Go preach somewhere else

For everone slating this car, It is absolutely 100% sex on wheels.

I know it just looks like a nova gsi, but thats how i like it, nice a subtle with an engine to scare the living **** out of most people.

I met Andy at East coast extreme a couple of years ago, think it was running around 280bhp at the time, and the build he has done on it is a real quality job! and the car does go like stink! Altho i didn't get to go up against him down the quarter mile in the end in my 276whp crx because his car ripped one of the shafts the shreds on the launch.

Wouldnt mind seeing it again, may pop to ipswich to see if i can spot him out and about tonight :P

If anyone from ipswich is out with him in their cars tonight then drop me a pm and i will come and say hello (dunno if he will remember me :P)

I have a feeling, that still might go un noticed.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but a GSi on Speedlines is the definitive look. Likely to be the image of what might have been most peoples first look at a hot Nova. So you cant argue that such a common style hasnt been influencial.

He was probably too busy faffing about his fuel consumption or knackering his fig 8's lol :thumb:

Sooo anyway, would now be a good time to mention I plan to (eventually) put a gsi front on my saloon? lol

Thats comparing a potentially standard car to a highly modified one (albeit much lighter too). Point?

GSi fr end should look nice Jack, just needs speedlines!! lol

Which 'two' are you talking about exactly?

All the preaching here seems to be being done by you, telling everyone who doesnt like that nova, or who weren't impressed by it that they're bereft of taste. Could it be that you, like so many other people, don't like being told that your nova isn't to their taste or isn't special? After all, your nova is the same as the one on this thread - but red :D

now now girls. This thread has turned into some ropey homo erotic willy waving contest.... BEHAVE ffs, you look like a bunch of 5 year olds. Way to make a good impression to new people lol


The nova is "pleasent" but not to my taste, but then i dislike the look of the veyron.... but do appreciate the enigneering in there (similar in that case to this nova if its got the engine its claimed to have)

but at the end of the day does it really matter what people think of a car aslong as the owner is happy with it?

the original poster (barney something), stop text typing of lose site access as per the rules of the forum.
