fook me that is gonna be more than rapid. lovingthe back end and the engine bay is gorgeous

[Dan 130]

looks mad

[Stuart]

as garyc will say. hes got too many dials there lol. all grassers need is an oil pressure light lmao.

thats a tasty build, shame to race in some respects

[Nova-Dan]

1 word,funky!

[krobinson]

Someone needs to build a rear suspension setup like that on a road going nova.

Dont look here Rick, stop getting silly ideas to delay the nova!!!

[Nick J]

what a weapon!!! nice build that.:thumb:

[Christ]

I dont mean to look ignorant but when ever i thought of grass racing I imagined clapped out bangers getting thrashed till they died. That car looks really nice, Could you use it on a tarmac track without too much work being done to it?

[matthew172]

well not sure, he does propper grasstracking not just the type were every1 is out to smash up your car not sure wetha it would be allowed on a circuit with it being spaceframed??

[R1CH]

Looks a beast !! They've moved the Grass Track circuit from Silloth to somewhere in Penrith now haven't they ?? Gonna have to have a wonder thru when its on sometime.

[babi_bek]

what a animal!! how do you hide the loom like he has done im baffled

[novabex]

Wow. Loves it.

[Stuart]

what a animal!! how do you hide the loom like he has done im baffled


not much loom to hide, so its very easy.

[R1CH]

what a animal!! how do you hide the loom like he has done im baffled

It won't have a std Nova loom as it doesn't have lights, wipers, dash board ect .... it'll just have a basic loom for the starter & managment & the few dials in the cabin.

[gazz]

yeah you can use them on tarmac tracks but they mainly get set up for oval tracks.. ie seating position and steering wheel are normally twisted..

give me my grinder...
looks nice was it at januarys autosport show??

[Dar]

Nice grasser! I know the sport has come along way since my dad was doing it in a class 5 mini. Although that looks very much like the type of setup they used to run back in the day. Just using more modern parts. Does he have the exhaust system fitted? They only used to run straight pipe to where its cut out at the rear, but I would imagine that the noise police would have had something to say about that since.

[SRlew]

that looks nice! in a way i wouldnt want to race that lol

[NovaLad]

What's the BHP on that thing .... very nice .. love the colours..

[Novadex]

Sex on wheels! you will have to uplaod some vids when he gets it out!

[Adam]

Loving that, seriously cool :cool:

[matthew172]

he says it should be around 230ish bhp, no exhaust fitted yet dar

and yes ill get some vids when he takes it to the first meeting

[Dave.]

id spray the inside of the windscreen mesh black, so its not so distracting when driving
looks a1 though, that rear is.. well.. new and shexual

[vaughanmc]

a garage where my dad goes has two of them but i can't see them being as powerful and at the Scottish Motorsport Show there was one with a 1.4 in it looked very clean and un-used

that one should be a ball :)

[craig green]

Looks like a very high standard of prep. Like it.

Is the IRS all custom or does it use bits from a donor?

[matthew172]

no he makes it all himself, hees very good when it comes to bodywork and manufacturing things

[stuartp]

them steering rack mounts are cool clever idea usiing them!!

[Jon_nova1]

it looks really nice

you'll definately have to give us the specs and measurements for the rear independand suspension so we can all copy ;) have you anymore pics of the rear?

[ReeceH]

yeah its looking ****ing fit matthew my love! that is way too good to race like lol.

theres a few TB'd XE's up our end now like lol

[SGA33]

looks lovely, lets hope it stays that nice after racing with the other nutters that race class6 in autograss.:)

[draper]

stunning !! and i agree with whoever said its a shame to race it (in a weird way)
