Hi guys,

I've not been on here for ages so i thought i'd post up and say hi. I've not done anywork on my nova for almost 2 years but i've finally go my ass in gear and have some motivation to get some work done on it.

This is what it looke like on its last outing:

and this is what it looks like now;

I have a 20xe that i'm putting in it and am on the lookout for a set of R1 carbs to fit.

See you at a trackday soon.

Ben.

I sold my engine after PVS 2006 and never fitted another. I soon lost interest in it and bought my self a Mini Cooper S in summer 07, its the faclift turbo version.

Hi Ben,

Long time no see.


How is everyone, do you all have the same cars i remember? did Stu ever build the 1.2? Is Charles still fitting gates?
He built it, but scrapped it before he got it running - silly boy :p

Charles is still fitting gates and has employed some familiar faces ;)

Look forward to catching up with you some time.

Jim.
