Whooooo! just bought a nova XE!

[Adam*D]

After building a corsa XE I thought it was about time to buy another nova. Started out as a 1.3 sr but now has a red top with F20 box, I don't think its a standard engine tho as it just pulls to the red line in all gears! is this normal?. My speedo doesn't work yet but I had a little play with a civic type R on the way home from picking it up and I was on the limiter in 5th:eek: :eek: :eek: any idea how quick I was going?

XE's pull to the limiter. Sounds normal.

Indicated speed was probably nigh on 150 on Nova clocks, real speed about 137 if you were lucky.

Carefully though, the NL bragging police are particularly harsh. You wont be allowed to forget it.

erm, yes I'm insured, and I was insured on the corsa aswell, I'm 28 years old and have been driving since 17 so insurance is not a problem.

P.s, I'll post up some pics tomorro after it's been washed.
