HI M8 I KEEP THINKING OF DOIN A 4WD IN A NOVA. DONT THINK ANY1 HAS DONE 1 APART FROM A RALLY TEAM OR RALLY CROSS TEAM. IF U DO START DOIN IT CAN U SEND ME PICS OR KEEP ME UP DATED AS IM INTERESTED ON THE DIFFICULTIES U CUM ACROSS. OR ID GIVE U A HAND 2 DO IT SO I COULD C MYSELF IF UR AROUND THE HERTFORDSHIRE AREA OR BEDFORDSHIRE

they say its hard but its easy all you need to do is buy a land rover and weld a nova shell on top of it, voila 4x4 nova you may need sum lowering springs though!

ste sanders, the voice of reason

its like anything, if youve got enuff of daddies money you could have it built. ok?

Daddy don't pay for my toys :lol: . I am a Biker firstly (600Ninja) but I would like a small 4x4 with a lot of go( I am not interested in loud ICE) just small, light & fast. I wanted to use a Corsa because I wanted a newer shell to work from. I guessed that someone may have done this with a Nova as they have been around for 18 years now. No disrespect to anyone on this forum, but I didn't come on here to slag nova's off, Just to learn from others experience 8). I am in Gloucestershire so a bit far buth thanks for the offer anyway.

depending on how cheap you can get stuff done and do stuff yerself you might be looking at around 10 grand

y not just buy a skooby Justy then :lol:

small, 4x4 :roll:

or a panda 4x4 :lol:

[DRUNKNORGY]

To be quite honest, the idea came into my head of a Subaru justy, with a dihatsu charade gtti engine in it as they are both 3cylinder engines but the gtti has alot of plumbing and is only 1 litre, that said, my mate had one and I clocked a few miles in it and it was well rapid (book speed 0-60 7.2 secs). didn't handle as well as my astra gte though

[dave.gsi]

the words astra, gte, handle and well in the same sentance???? lol

[DRUNKNORGY]

Did I say it handled well?. All things are relative :lol: . I've yet to find a road going car to stay with my Ninja.
