oh it is a magnificant car! i hope you look after it well and do not violate it with XE engines!

you have a good selection of brakage pad! the green stuff ones are of very fine selection for fast road use and also for slow town use.

the paint is of beautiful colours like a pearl. however the redness of the engine bay is of a great dissagreement with my enjoyment of the vehicle. please remove red.

look after your nova!!! or you may suffer dismemberment from the people at PNG!!!

Thats the first thing Ive seen you post thats wrong lol (apart from stating an XE would violate it, how very rude)

Get those pads changed pronto, they're less than useless!

Does look nice, good find sir :thumb:

oh Mr Lee. you do make me laugh! i suppose the parts of pads are of subject to individuals driving perefentials and styles.

i had run many a green pad on track Elise and works to much delite!! perhaps the nova is not able to generate enough heat to make work proper :(

LMAO, on the contrary, i set fire to them and they started breaking off in big chunks (so at least the tag line 'anti dust' was true) lol

I've never been a fan of greenstuff pads, I know a few GT4 owners that have labelled them as dangerous. Although the GT4 is a completely different animal to a nova...

Greenstuff pads are crap !

I've had a set pretty much break-up during braking. Went to brake, car pulled herrendously to the left and all i could here was bits of crap bouncing under the car. Turned out the pad had just seperated itself from the metal backing plate ! :wtf:

the basic Mintex 1144's are a much better pad for the ?30-?40 mark !
