Old Old skool Nova 1.6 Red top on TB's running up on the rollers

Hello chaps,
Some of you may remember this car as a blast from the past in its various reincarnations. Long story short, its been residing in the back of my shed waiting for me to finish it. I finally sorted the fuel system and took it to Bedford Autodrome for a shakedown where I got shown the noise card twicelol. It has been having problems with a misfire in the mid range when I was short shifting hence the trip to the rollers. Although we weren't there to do a max power run it made around 190hp at a bit over 7000rpm; it redlines @9000rpm. Annoyingly the misfire wasn't in evidence so didn't really work out what the issue is

Poor car. Fair play though its a proper little screamer, Very impressed.

Really liked this car last time i saw it, Sadly my work pc has no sound so i'll have to wait.

Oh my, was waiting for a rod or piston to make an appearance on RR vid, it just revs and revs:thumb:

Rev happy, love it :d

Looked a bit sketchy on the rollers, was it strapped down? Lol
it made 190 at 7k? That's epic power, why no full throttle action!?

Love the sound of that, purrs brilliantly at 5500+ �� hope you didn't let that GTR past easily at Bedford ;-)

I dont think I would dare rev that high lol

Thats near 10k surely?

Love it Charles , it's a proper little weapon :)
