My new daily runner (weapon)

[Nick J]

Well chaps as some of you know I recently parted company with my then daily runner a mk4 astra let project, Now as I certainly wouldnt use the nova as a daily user I knew I had to find something pretty quick! The chap who was buying the astra came up trumps with this little belter... his missus has had it for years and as It was always reliable for them and with a price agreed at ?200 with a years mot I thought why not! Im sure it wont set all your hearts racing but I thought Id post it as a giggle rather than anything else! all humerous comments welcome lol

lol Believe me...... I'm not even going to go there!

[Philsutton]

lol snap, mine cost 200 with full mot. Mine smells of burgers when your driving it, you can hear the camshaft slapping around and there isnt one panel thats straight on it including the roof.

Great little run arounds, run them into the ground without a care.

[krobinson]

I don't believe you.

Respray, really low on softstars (still only ?260 from LMF)

;)

[BenNova]

good thing about it is the price, cant say much else lol

[Philsutton]

lol It seems all corsas must smell then....... mines smells of the paint the ex owner spilt!

Keith, no... Im going to try my hardest to restrain myself and do nothing bar run it! however I was very surprised it does go quite well lol

[Mike]

^ lol mine smelt of paint :D quite a lot of the time lol

There ace run abouts, as Phil said run them into the ground without a care!

I put 14k miles on mine in 11months, run it out of tax, the DVLA clamped it, and have now crushed it :D

rat-look corsa!!
slam on nova 60mm's..

Jus messin. Handy-looking work horse.

[Philsutton]

ive been tempted to fit my coilovers of the turbo onto the oil burner while its off the road an slam it on the steels.

Also I will take this chance to say that lift off over steer rules! It has about 30bhp but it will drift round roundabouts lol

[Plug]

get some large steelies like you can for the VW's. wack some low pro tyres and slam it. sorted

[Ash]

lol Believe me...... I'm not even going to go there!

I seem to remember you saying that last time... lol

Next week it will be resprayed, everyone knows it, just let it happen ;)

I hope the 1.7 drev is of the isuzu turbo type

[John]

nice nick! I have exactly one of those as a dialy drive, only mine is a van! (and it doesn't have a turbo) Seriously not bad for 200 notes!

I'm sure a couple of nights at your pace will see the bodywork sorted!
keiths suggestion sounds good, a sweet set of rims and a lower will transform it.

[scott.parker]

lol ace! cant beat a good bit of oil burneridge!

[staggy_gsi]

quality!

one word - cherry! lol

[Nick J]
