Bites tongue at some of the comments on here

I'd like some1 to go find a genuine Mint Black GTE with 56,000 miles on the clock, that would be even in clean enough condition to drop a let into:roll:

As for me ripping the 8v out it was un-driveable below 3k rpm and trying to drive everywhere flat out doesn't quite work.

I'm not like some members on here i use my cars so it had to pratical and after owning alsorts of other powered nova's i wanted a good base for a c20let conversion and thats exactly what i got:thumb:

Yes Bruce does know what i've done i told him the day i bought it i would probably end up fitting a c20let.

My car now so my choice to do with it what i wish & the 1 very reason i've not advertised it on here causes of the attitude of a large % of the members.

I've had hugh interest in it and all being well will be sold shortly and replaced with a Corsa VXR:thumb:

Fair play on your comments there, agreed that its your car and you should be able to do what you want to it.

Also fair play if you find someone completely and utterly bonkers enough to pay that for it. That, i would imagine, is the real reason you didnt advertise it on here ;)

A replica could be built for that, even starting with a ropy shell IMO. But then if someone wants to pay it, theres nothing wrong with that at all!

are you for real i'd like to see some1 build a replica for less, and i mean exact replica, you lot seem to forget that you can't find good condition shells for cheap now let alone a GTE & 1 thats been Group A prepared. Then lets add all the bits ontop of that, fuk me peeps are asking ?300 for F28 gearboxs these days and getting it:eek:

The reason its not advertised on here is because of you ****s and your attitudes and tis of the reason the whole Nova owners scene is what it is now:roll:

If it doesn't sell it'll go back in my garage for winter and i'll wait come spring when some wants a GTE Turbo for the show season, it'll only keep going up in value as GTE's get rarer & rarer.

Gone are the days you could buy calibra turbo for ??? to use as donors cars, even thay are thin on the ground now, so prices are now creeping up, and by now they all need rebuilt anyhow.

I'll openly admit i hate the intercooler but function over looks had to be done here as the chargecooler setup wasn't up2 the job, if i decide to keep it i'll have a custom intercooler made and mount it in front of the radiator and then get my spare bumper painted so it looks stealthy again:thumb:


fair play then! kinda funny that people think its 'ruined' with the let in! at the end of the day its a vauxhall nova!

best comment made on here it is and always will be a vauxhall nova, i've had then since i was 17 (now 28) and had nearly ever variant about this was my last on the list (c20let powered) i'm gonna move onto something newer and remember the good time i've had in all my cars (including novas)

The right person will come along and pay the right money for any car so thanks for your comments, I will return the favour the day you decide to sell up:D

and bang goes my respectable comment, i'll lock this thread now and not comment further due to not being in the best mood as it is without such a broad tarring of people in general :mad:
