My Nova 16v Project

alloy sheet across the whole boot floor, so you've got a flat surface to mount the battery holder to :confused:

I'll just remove the wheel well itself, and replace the shape with a flat alloy sheet, but I'll have it pressed, so it doesn't "bong" at high speeds

youve got some serious stuff done to the nova since i last had chance to log in

Looking sweet olz! :thumb:

plenty more to come matt - i'll be on it all day saturday preparing for the sprint should you want to pop over both (Ste & Matt)

let me know :thumb:

So I'm now in Sports Libre 1701cc>, which is a bugger, but I'm not as close to the lap record as I once thought, the lap record in that class is 28 seconds, not 36 seconds - so I'm never going to hit that.

Aha! They finally collared you then, thought you'd got away lightly, as that is the class I got told I'd have to run in ;)

Not 1701cc > you won't be :p as you have a small cock don't forget lol

Looking forward to seeing you Sunday btw, we hardly spoke PV day...

Motorway was hilarious :thumb:

So they bumped you up as class cause the engines over the 1998cc of cause of the tbs and bits?

Nope they moved me class because a Nova was never built with a 2.0, which is what I explained to them, and they just said I was in the correct class.

Oh well - I'm up against a 2000cc Turbocharged Morris Minor this Sunday lol

Hmm interesting reading some of this :)

So in terms of feeling ~ the turn in doesn't seem as sharp now the rear carries more weight?

I wonder why they weren't able to balance the RR & RL like the front as now there's an even greater imbalance. Was it just that the height adjustment on the rear isn't quite enough to drop 1 corner enough?

2º isn't the end of the world now it's all tracked on a car that's not the stiffest and will give the footprint you're after when cornering hard.

Does the revised settings give more initial understeer you think now?

Hi Si,

I've literally drove it home from JamSport, and thats it, so it was alot of motorway and couple of roundabouts.

I'll do a proper "feedback report" after Sundays Sprint

Thanks for the interest though - its nice to see other people throwing ideas in :thumb:
