I love the instant power of the NA Bodies, but no doubt you couldnt beat the outright power of a Turbo.

If i ever got to drive or go in a turbo then who knows................... :)

hi martin come round mine i will take you out in my nova im sure after you will ditch the xe and go let:thumb::thumb::thumb:

Martin, I'm sure you went out in mine at one of the Cheadle meets about 7 years ago when it first had the LET in. It was only running low boost though due to cracked wastegate so probably quite forgetable.

Pretty sure i havnt.
Always wanted to go in a Turbo so wouldnt have forgotten.


Disco - Thanks for the offer, if you didnt line a million miles away i would take you up on the offer!

ah that a temp. rocker cover in the std. colours..?
tis an inspiring thread.. super fast progress.

jealous of the wheels, how they gonna look when refurbed?

thats a cool looking motor :thumb:

what is the ball in the end of the camshaft for?

Looking forward to seeing this done matthew. Be nice to see a nova let with a front end that does not look like its been fired out of a elephants cornhole.

peester,
yes its just a temp rocker cover until the motor is fitted and all work is finished as i dont want my good one getting scratched etc in the process, im going to do the wheels gloss black with red decals on them maybe



hay lewis,
the camshaft ball is put in to plug the oilway that the dizzy dowel would normally plug

richard,
pmsl !

anyway my waterpump and cambelt kit came yesterday and verniers arrived today so got on with fitting it

My comment was not directed at one nova specifically but as you have singled yourself out i think a elephants corn hole is far to nicer place for that sack of turd to have popped out of.
