overall the car was greatly recieved and people were astonished how quick it was going even spinning in the first 3 gears, a 500bhp sierra cosworth was my play friend for the day we had a good few laps chasing and following he was on full slicks which helped him alot (and the fact he can pedal fair play) on the straights the nova was pulling a good few car lengths, he would ctach me through the bends and off it would start again up the straight!

managed to out accelerate a supercharged arial atom up to quarry :) also had a good blast with a radical though he couldnt loose me on the straights he soon pissed off once a corner arrivedbut was good fun
top speed i hit at avon rise was 141mph on the spa clocks, averaging 120-135 i just need to be braver the car has alot more potential... but it'll come
the nova did about 40-45 laps in total with the only issue a small hole in the bottom header tank hoses caused by the jubilee clip

will foy also attended though he was to tight to pay £10 to be a passenger
i was concerned with regards oil temps and coolant temps rising after sustained use, but it was fine coolant temp didint go above 81degrees and the oil temps averaged around 97degrees after a 30 minute session
chareg temps where also superb averaging around 28-30degrees again constant over the 30 minute sessions
the car is now back in the garage and will be sorn'd in a few days and left to rest for the winter
the girl did me proud and the love for her is back better than ever. i was learning the car all day and by 2-3pm was really starting to press on but a red flag ended the session then the rain started so we decided not to chance our luck in the rain, so came home.
main thing is the car didnt break and is in one piece allways a good end to a day
Any vids? :roll:
have a few fly bys will recorded on my iphone nothing special though
Glad to hear its getting the use you built it for Gary...... sounds like your engine builder/mapper have done a top job for you. :)
