Plans for your Novas over winter and in early 2015

It is kind on the alloy, it is a mixture of water & glass bead.
Forgot, I am also swapping the F10 wide ratio 5th gear for an F13 close ratio fifth to alter the gearing. Trying to narrow the current massive jump in ratio from the SCCR 4th gear.

Looking forward to seeing the outcome on that gearbox then, it should look spotless.

It would be a shame to try and do a LET conversion if your hearts not in it, pointless ploughing loads of cash into it, especially if you can get decent money for yours as it is.

If you do give all up though I can guarantee you'll regret it in some way but only you can decide.

This man speaks sense! The main reason i bought a nova other than always wanting a 'turbo nova' was that id sold my clio cup and finished my fd, thus running out of projects. I'd find myself in the garage trying to fix things that weren't broken or modify areas that i was already happy with. Got to a point were i was just messing stuff up, you know what they say, the devil makes work for idle hands lol. I personally need something to keep me busy, i get to bored just watching tv etc, would rather be rolling around on the flood stinking of transmission fluid covered in grease lol.

Picked up the new engine so it will have the power to match its new shiny paint.

is that a big block 18xe, cooper ?

X20XEV from a Cav with a few extras. Got it as a whole package with gearbox and management etc for alot cheaper than I could have got my C20xe up to this sort of spec. It made sense in my head but the Mrs wasn't convinced it was such a bargain.

Also got my new engine, x18xe1 small block 1.8 was going to go for the later z18xe but then this came up for sale with ecu loom and chip and transponder for a good price I couldn't turn it down. Just need to get the shell sorted so I can get it fitted.
