Thats looks like a great first car, and a very good condition nova, I'd be happy with that.

Kind of I'd say - Minus the 40's and Anti Roll Bars I think...

What would be the best way to add more BHP and improve handling

[~~joycey~~]

thats mint! :eek:

[Dave.]

tbh id just lower it 60mm and elave it at that, it looks very smart, prehaps a white gte grill :thumb:

Cool, always liied the sting models, that genuine mileage? Lucky bugger if it is.

For more power the easiest way is a weber 32/34 carb, a four branch manifold and sports exhaust.
Depends on how much it puts your insurance up by though.

[shy witness]

the stings were a real nice we motor.

i think they had the sr interior.....clocks...bootspoiler and then theyre own decals on teh side.


i rememeber a couple of mates of mine having different 1's when i was younger.

i always liked them myslef.

white has to be the best nova colour

[General Baxter]

you have killed it lol

take them halfords special alloys off it lol

[OllieKing]

Cheers mate, i couldnt afford to spend £400 on a pair of rims so i had to compramise

[GTE999]

thats cool mate. id maybe lower it but wouldnt put any skirts or body mods on it. Looks better as an original sting.

As for more bhp. For the sake of your insurance (guessing your still 17-19) i would do the usual k and n full exhaust and mild cam/head and carb work.

With that done itll make a good wee difference. just make sure all mods are declared.

Some lowering springs and uprated shocks, polybushes, strut braces and some Anti Roll Bars :)
