Hmmmmm.....
Only in essex too so you're welcome to come over and have a look at the porsches and drivetrains. Will get pics of it all tommorrow. Would be amazing to have a nova with a near 50/50 weight distribution. I really want to do it now lol
its so easy to do in principle its just making sure its all straight and true!
Porsche rims look the tits mate! Would mean changing the hubs or adptor plate?
how crazy is that.
i race nova's on the oval tracks and having got a bit keen "the weather had come out and it felt good" i phoned up a mate who has a 2lt red top corsa on the road, out for a spin and was impressed so i got even keener and used a donar nova 3 door shell, had some work done to it and thought about setting up a project to drop a red top in, then we come up with the idea of RWD - not many road going RWD nova's about? i've only ever seen rally one's track days and not very many of them.
so we got a bit keener and started to play.
in the oval world we run a formula called national hot rods. which are basically space framed cars with a 2lt red top - built, running a qualife box and a english rear end
but then it's the cost.. is it worth it - why not just go buy some jap rwd fun?

Anyone ever thought of MR2s, would be a mid engined rear wheel drive Nova.
IIRC the track width is about 20 mm out or something.
I thought of just welding the whole rear end setup of the MR2 into the Nova rear for simple easier to build, quicker and interchangability with engines, to some extent. MR2 turbo engine would be a blast!
plenty of rear mounted nova been done but not that many front mounted.
yer thats what i thought mate
had a think last night, surley it would be easier to cut the floor plan completely out, and sheet it say 3mm sheet, welded back in, all new mounts made up for seats, cage, etc. etc. then you could make a tunnel to what ever you wanted to, then on the rear u would have more room to **** about with mounts etc and get it mounted in the right place and be happy.
either way i think your need to cut a axle down to fit and make up all new mount points, suspension points etc. etc.
