do you not get bored of slaging novas off ?? every other thread you slate them but on your own thread you brag about spending hundreds of pounds on LHR ??? and then when after a new work vehicle you buy a ****ing nova van ??

please explain why if you dislike the rotten as a droped pear 80s box, you keep spending money on and keep coming on here ??

[Dave.]

Yep. What would your nova have In an idea world

Whats yours?

one that you can leave in the pub carpark over night and return to it the next morning and it still be there! well thats how it is round this way lol

[Nova_Tek]

I live in a fairly simple world so it would be:

Full bare metal respray from the ground up, extensive rot protection, properly sound deadened interior, Astra Gsi 888 interior seats and door cards, fully Vaux reconditioned LET with 80k warrenty and reconditioned F28. Light smoke tints, proper custom exhaust system that doesnt knock, lowered on quality springs.

Then a live in a country with no speed bumps or speed cameras with a government run by F1 drivers with roads that are smoooooth, straight and with some lovely twisty bits in between the 4 mile dead straight road.

Then a fit bird as a wife, o sorry thats reality lol, with a private 4 mile track 2.5 miles of staright and 1.5 miles of corners.

Thats about it!

[paulnova]

find a cure for rust!!

[Mike]

please explain why if you dislike the rotten as a droped pear 80s box, you keep spending money on and keep coming on here ??

Theres several reasons TBH Mark, i can insure a £120 nacker one for £300 yet when some spanner ploughts into the back of it, the insurance pay out £1k :D

Theres a saying, "you can only have what you can afford". So i have cheap as chips sh1tbox Nova's to get me around, as the majority of my money goes into renovating my new house. My project Nova has come to an enourmous stop, and its fate is still yet to be decided. More then likely ill weight it all in/eBay the parts.

Once the House is done, my funds will go back into another car, about £14k's worth of Cosworth.

[Lee]

I just need an SCCR and an LSD and ive built my ideal Nova :) That was the plan from the start anyway.

[John]

Oooh, i love these kind of threads!
Right, i'd have a......
Mk1 saloon, painted in either original brown or beige, with either a 1.3 cdti tuned to the hilt, or a 1.9 cdti (z19dth) again tuned to the hilt.
It'd also have to have;
Air con,
fluid or epas,
Abs/tc
Disc brakes all round,
Full metal sliding roof, (or perhaps a panoramic screen?)
Studded draylon or suede interior in body colour, With matching flocking.
8 or 9x 13's (can't decide on a style, too much choice!)
Full air suspension,
oh, and lashings of chrome!

(Not to self- collect lottery ticket on way home from work tommorow)

Or i'd settle for that saloonestate jack posted, that'd be awsome!

[djbrowney]

What u building then ?


full spec ... lol

havent up dated it in ages, just havent had the time but hear is the start of it :thumb:

[Novasport]

Mine but built, save me a fookin job:D

[Mcgowan]

Stripped an slammed on 15s, with some phat sticky tires, a 1.6 and only a drivers seat an basic dash

[meritlover]

i would like to buy a brand new red 1.2 Merit with no extras and no rear wiper. it will have no radio so that the nasty wing mounted ariel would not be there to cause all manor of corrosive violations of my wing and inner wing gaurd. i would take it home and insert myself into the cavities and fill it with liquid (to protect the precious car from rust) i would change the oil every 1000 miles and keep it in a warm place that was dry (dry means there would be no wet and warm means it would not be too cold) this way the precious 1.2 OHV engine would never have to start from cold (this may lead to problems with the choke sticking as it will not be used but i think with regular maintenance it will be lubricated and ready for use should the un thinkable happen that it has to be started from cold!!), the engine would be at its optimum all the time. it would be a machine ready for action in every possible way. i would make sure the concentration of screenwash and anti-freeze would be pefect and always topped up so that it is nice. the seats would have plastic covers so i do not mess the seats and the door trims would be protected too (as well)

i would have the air taken out of the wheels and filled with N2 instead so the std tyres are at their optimum performance and ready for all action that the merit and i will be tackling together (as a wonderful team)

oh i can but dream of the perfect day occuring, but the question is, is there ever a question to answer or will this be a dreaming of my vivid imagination as a small boy of 10? perhaps there are some things in life we will never know (realise) if this dream of owning such a beautiful car will ever happen? i hope so. perhaps maybe one day (but not today)

[Lee]

Id want a Nova shell but with corsa D engine, running gear and interior. Basically a brand spanking new one in the same vein as todays cars.

Eiteht that or one with an LSD would do me fine lol

[Spudly]

Ernies old GTE for me:thumb:

Or a mint mk1 with a lotus carlton engine in it (somehowlol)

[Dod]

My ideal Nova is a $500,000 Chevy Nova. I know they're terrible but it'd be worth $500,000.

[dj_wudgey]

brand new mk1 sr lol

[skidmarkz]

Factory built 2.0l mk2 with a quaife diff as standard, launch control, brembo bakes, dog box, carbon bonnet/boot/roof/doors :)

apart from that, a csr500 with a nova shell on it :)

[turbojolt]

one with a galvanised body and no rust would do me just fine

[Leeboo]

I'd love to build a 1.9 CDTi Nova, making it look factory, with suited suspension, stronger shell and 4 pots etc.

Don't have the money skill or knowledge though.

[vaughanmc]

Early Mk1 Nova SR 'Snow-Plough'
1.6 8v on TB's or 40's
Escort RS Turbo front seats - Full interior re-trim in Leather
Nova SR 3 spokes but in 15" or 16"
Proflex suspension
Turret'd

Astra Mk4 Mudflaps

Can't think of anything else off the top of my head lol

Mine would be................ Erm... I dont really know tbh.

Very low on bags
The deepest rims fully polished possiable.
So clean its unreal.
So smooth you'd slip over walking past it.
A/c.

[Lee H]

Mine but with better brakes and a bigger spec LET.

[Pistol Pete]

As alot have already said. Mine....once it is finished. I still feel that Vauxhall should have done the XE from standard. Peugeot managed it with the 1.9!!

[robertdevlin69]

nova with minimal rot,with a highly tuned modern diesel engine,or do something crazy like a vxr vectra engined nova,prob wouldn work tho???

[amggsi]

Breeze Blue SRi to the same spec as phazers, only with the standard bumpers and vinyl - my perfect Nova!!!

[Jack]

http://www.dellsareacruisers.com/4.jpg

If I had to have a Vauxhall Nova though, it would be a 2dr saloon, Mk2 front, mexico red with a B308 engine, PAS, A/C, decent interior, cesaros - basically make it a little more "modern"

[Daz9124]

Lancia Delta S4 Engine
Lancia Delta Intergrale Running Gear (4x4)
