[burgo]

[adam c]

looks very nice.loving the brakes:cool: what size are they?and how much were they?i think i prefered it with the other wheels on but it still looks good on the speedlines

[turbodrew1]

discs are 300mm with 4 pot calipers. i took them off my old nova when i sold it. they cost alot.

[novacabrio]

Looks as good as ever, Brakes look mint

[RJM25R]

?i think i prefered it with the other wheels on but it still looks good on the speedlines

I think it looks as good on either TBH. I was considering speedlines for normal use if I kept her........

[RJM25R]

Don't like the rear lights though........

[Adam]

The speedlines look well on there :cool:

Cool brakes.

[John]

still looking sweet, good to see the new owner adding their touches.

[NovaLad]

I prefared the old wheels too but oh well..

Looks good.

Good to see you taking care of it.

[fearless]

Nice to see the modifications are continuing - Got my eye on a set of them brakes for my latest project - any spacers required to fit the wheels ?


Dave

[Nick J]

Looks great imo, I wasnt really a fan of the old wheels tbh however different people have different ideas etc.

[fearless]

Don't like the rear lights though........


Agrree with Rick about the rear lights - although I can't remember what was on before lol


I think you can't go wrong with half tinting (Bottom half) the ones you have on now :thumb:

Dave

[SRimon]

Looks good ;)

[blue_peg_16v]

nice to see its still about, any other plans for it?

[wilson_sri]

Looking good man. Prefer it on the speedlines.

[Riggy]

still looks ace , speedline look ace , but i loved the last wheels on it :thumb:

[elgan]

looking good

u wanna spend some time detailing under those arches next and get some throttle bodies back on it

[Nobby]

looking good exhaust imo tad big for a nova :D

lol Errrmm there the same as before?? well on my calender they are anyway lol

Looks ace, nice breaks, glad to see it's still about on/in the club etc.

Scott

[Rick Draper]

Looks good but looks like it could do wit a touch of attention in the front arches now.

[turbodrew1]

Don't like the rear lights though........

i had smoked lights on my first 1.2 spin nova many moons ago. i look at pictures of it now and cringe when i see the back end. smoked lights in my opinion are chav and ruin the look of most cars.

[turbodrew1]

Looks good but looks like it could do wit a touch of attention in the front arches now.

it needs a clean.

[turbodrew1]

Dave

i have a 5mm spacer. could possibly get away with a 3mm but i wasnt risking taking the paint off. also use a gsi servo with them.

[turbodrew1]

nice to see its still about, any other plans for it?

LET or boddies. quite fancy the boddies already had a LET. not deciding til after the summer take it off the road and decide what to do. if i cant be bothered it'll be getting sold.

[Ian_Gsi16v]

Always thought this car looked good :thumb:

PM me if your looking to sell after summer, could be interested then :thumb:

[vaughanmc]

Nice to see its still being looked after

You bringing it to the Scottish Nova meet mate ?

[craig green]

Looks like it did back circa 96 with the Alessio's.

Personally I think it just needs the tailgate vinyl putting back on. Lights area personal choice, tinted ones look OK on the dark car but clears are chavier.

iv thought about putting the vinyl back on and the gsi door and tailgate badges. al see what happens. the way the car was then is the look am going for now as i thought it looked its best with speedlines. you've got me thinkin about this vinyl now.......

Do it, you know it makes sense! and with it being the nova's 25Th birthday an all i think most cars owned on here by true enthusiasts are trying to get that back to standard/old school look from the early 90's etc.

Scott

[vaughanmc]

what scottish nova meet?

Scottish Nova meet at the Falkirk wheel on the 13th April

Mate, its got to be there :)

[wilson_sri]

Definetly get the vinyl back on, still got that replica one here if you cant find any genuine.

[craig green]

For me GSi replicas look gash without the transfers. I hated the look of mine without the door stickers.

[wilson_sri]

Its the ones off duick, there pretty decent. The black boot vinyl for the boot is a pretty good match, and could get the gsi badge from vauxhall still i think?

[BIGS]

it needs a clean.

As Rick said it sort the arch out. in the pic it looks like there is abit of rust coming through. get a wire brush on it and give it abit of paint. a car like that you dont want to skip things like that before it gets worst. unless it is just mud/dirt but do look like rust.

But the car is very nice, i like the wheels better then before and the lights are as good imo. keep it up :thumb:

[turbodrew1]

am goin to try and hold out for a genuine one. might go and see what the signwriters can do. i dont like the vauxhall badge on the vinyl either.

Good man :thumb:

[turbodrew1]

oh by the way if anyone wants the white van in the background thats been to the moon and back, 20 fags and a bottle of buckfast takes it away.

[wilson_sri]

Im going to keep the genuine one, can supposidly take the vauxhall badge off with a hairdryer so going to try that. I was talking about the other one i had, that i got made up.

[Lee H]

They don't all have the Vauxhall on, the genuine one I bought last year doesn't.

[vaughanmc]

Should be aye - Its been put up on here, Scottish Novas and East Ayrshire Car Club

[vaughanmc]

aye no problem mate.

Awsome mate - See you there :)

[njc11]

Glad to see this car is still looking well!

Alesios look much better.. :thumb:

Just get the O.E vinyl put back on the tailgate with just the GSi badge & maybe 16v sticker (see below)

Also try some MK4 Astra Side Repeaters (clear ones like i had on mine)

http://www.cls.eclipse.co.uk/carpics/DSC02697-vi.jpg

The back lights look spot on... :thumb: or you could do like this?? (use orange bulbs obviously) Then maybe when you put the vinyl back on do the stickers like this??? Just an idea... (obviously GSi lol ) personally i wouldnt bother with door GSi stickers..

[turbodrew1]

thats exactly what am after mate, vinyl with gsi badge and 16v below it. iv got a set of mk4 side repeaters in my garage for it. need to get them on soon and bin all the smoked junk. i had they rear lights on my old turbo nova but they did'nt look as good as your ones. fancy doin a set for me??. stunning car by the way had a good look round it at billing, my mates in love with your alcantara roof lining. what a creep! also i seen pictures of it from knockhill, when were you their? bit of a trek for some track action is it not? i just stay 5 mins from their.

Mark owns it now..(novacabrio) sold last October... back on G904 YNB.. Yeah interior was one of the main features of the car.. and the headlining was one of my fav bits along with leather MK4 Astra sun visiors and leather covered (think its vectra) electric sunroof surround...(credit to Brian Thomas for doing that for me!) i do miss the car, but it was becoming more of a burdon than a hobby, never used and couldnt be ****d getting it out of the garage etc and was totally fine when it went, weight off my shoulders etc.. Couldnt have gone to a better home :)

As for the rear lights.. i used a combination of Euro clusters and UK Spec clusters and cut out the yellow lenses out of the 2 which would go on the car.. then cut the clear glass out of the 2 as doners... the clear silconed in place.. i used a dremel and was very fiddley and time consuming.. There is an easy way.. buy the clear clusters and get the Foliatech Red Tint spray for lights...then just a yellow bulb! i think with this combination it just brings the car up to date.. :cool: i may have a set in my loft!?!? But i cant look at the mo as im having my roof redone at home...

Been to knockhill quite a few times.. go on the Subaru owners club trackdays with my mate Mark (red F355) been in the Nova twice i think and in the VX a few more than that... He lives in Dullatur.. used to live at the waterfront in the centre of Glasgow, he now rents thats out..

Heres some pics (taken on camera phone) of my freshley retrimmed VX, done again by Brian Thomas... using Charcoal Grey alcantara (Nova was slightly lighter using the same fabric as found in the Aston Martin Vanquish!) and leather but this time the leather has a grain rather then the smooth type used in the Nova :cool: Think the retrim along with carbon fibre doors cards and facia plates contrasts perfectly! Just waiting on the carbon fibre gear lever / handbrake surround..ready end of this month!! (www.carbontecshop.com (http://www.carbontecshop.com))

[SRimon]

Hardly nasty is it :S

And tailgate vinyl is nothing!

[turbodrew1]

[vaughanmc]

Stunning car mate - Keep it well and as close to what it used to be

Can't wait to see it on Sunday if your going ? :)

[turbodrew1]

[turbodrew1]

Starts about 2pm mate :)

[vaughanmc]

Aye in the carpark I think

Just look for some Nova's lol or a red one with some primer patches ;)

[sport]

Saw K95 VHD today stunning car, still looks as good as it did in max power all those years ago. Could be my favorite nova.

[vaughanmc]

Aye she did look awsome the day lad - Loud alarm as well :)

[SRimon]

[turbodrew1]

cheers for the comments lads. just got a new siren for the alarm its never worked since i had it and i still dont know how to work the alarm. stupid clifford sh1te to many settings!

have always like this car since I first saw it in Max Power!

[_Ben_]

Brings a tear to my eye. Glad to see the car is still around.

Ben.

[hybridturbo]

Still looks well :D

Glad you binned them lights and revolutions it sat far to low and un usable imo

Tailgate vinyl and downgrading to a 3 inch outward rolled exhaust would be my only upgrades if i owned it

[craig green]

I love the size of the tailpipe on this car, part of the reason I like the rear view of it so much, esp the way it was phot'd in MAX Power all them years ago.

My new exhaust is pretty much the same.

I took this pic at a show in 1998 (fook 10 years ago)

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c323/turbocraig/HOT%20METAL/img009.jpg

[vaughanmc]

Still pretty much the same - Does need the vinyl back though :)
