MOT tomorrow so i can sort anything that needs doing on saturday morning !
I also got a centre box, but its from a 05 passat diesel. It has no baffles inside at all, but the pipe runs into the box and extands about 4 inch, all of this lenght in the box is peppered with hole and at the end of the pipe it reduces it about an 2 cm ! Is this for back presure and does it do the job of a silencer !?! Is it any good for the nova ?
Great work, looks realy nice
FAILED ! http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif
It failed on:
rear seat belts missing !
Passengers seat and belt missing
Rear passenger seat cant be secured in upright position !
VIN plate mnot permanently displayed
wiper motor
Exhaust to loud !
and thats it http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/image...es/biggrin.gif
A few hours in the workshop tomorrow should see it throw http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/nod.gif
Got advisorys:
no bonnet saftey latch
tank breather
tires close to shock on the rear
slight hand brake travel
The mot tester is happy for me to fit the N/S seat and harness and ignore the rear as there is no seat in the back ! Sweet http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif
how can it fail on not having a passenger seat :s
also with no seat it doesn't need the belt..
also, shouldn't fail on no rear belt's, if there isn't a rear seat
Thats what i thought !

It PASSED the re-test, i now have a road legal track car http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/image...es/biggrin.gif
Now i have driven the car, i know what people mean when they say novas are fun. I need to sort out a few rattles and i think the n/s bush is turning and making a noise also. But it feels rapid http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/nod.gif Im going to put the car away till the start of march now (tax !) so when it returns there a few more bits to do then i can enjoy some trackdays and the show season.
Great news mate! You will have to get some new photos of her all clean before she gets put away. Top job!
Good idea, will do that.
Good news there mate, keep it up :)
Cany belive i only got a 4 star rating on my thread ! Gutted
LOL, now 3 star, come on im sure it can go lower than that !
Back in storage till march now.
Bought myself a toy so i can relive the track action.

hi ash, just a tip - most uk tracks won't allow camcorders that are fastened in by velcro.
i'd advise buying a proper motorsport one from Hagues

SC2 will clamp to your cage, which is what i have, along with the SM
Good shout mate, could always weld on some exhaust clamps to it !
Hi ashtal call me at the weekend will show you a better lighter and cheaper way to video your track day! also no chance of damage to your camera!:thumb:
What idea you got then ?
The nova has a new identity !
http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/4/10306414515.jpg
Any chance i could change my title to "Project C20 NVA" ?
http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/4/10306515135.jpg
just looked through the tread start to finish, some quality touches to the nova, enjoy driving. where did you decide to put the opel stickers then?
No where yet !
Been a while since i done anything to the nova, but last weekend i got evicted from my garage so i had to find the nova a new homw (which is sorted for now). Anyway, after taking some advice i have decided to splash out on a tank and swirl pot, and to go with them i have also upgraded from 8 mm id braided hose to 10mm. This is only really between the tank, pump and pot as the feed to the rail and the return will remain 8mm id.
http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/5/13011020537.jpg
Got a 8-10mm reducer so the return pipe will fit on the swirl pot
2 1/8 rpt fitting for thge lift pump i will be fitting
3 meters of braided 10mm id hose
Should be completing a few jobs over the coming weeks like: Fitting tank/pot setup, gsi tiebars, ecu chip and general finishing touches ready for pv.
cant believe i havn't seen this thread before.. fcuking top work lad, just read start to finnish, absolutley amaising car mate :thumb:
Got my new tank and swirl pot ! There perfect.
All the oulets are 10mm and the tank is about 35 litres (9.5 gallons !?!). It has got inlet, outlet and a breather. Plus 2 outlets for a sight tube, plus a splash bowl with a run off !
