Can you find some for me then pwease? ;)
Right then, the boat is now out at sea, so i can finally get the nova back out. It has been sat since billing last year collecting dust so i dragged the old girl out and gave her a wash, then proceeded to put it back where it belongs ready for the tb's to be fitted along with some other bits i have had stored away since last year.
Here's just a few gay pics of a shiney car and a shiney car ready to be worked on lol

Fantastic looking car, that colour is bang on for the look of the car, will definitely stand out while on track.
Shud have put a LET in it to pull your pie's!!!
Order an inlet gasket ;)Quote:

You might find yourself running a narrower rear tyre in the future with the LSD.
Can I ask whom did the [vinyl I presume] graphics printout for you?
looking god Dan.
If it's any help i think me and Dar fitted arp rod bolts not long before you picked up the engine mate.
lol lol lol @ rick, i dare say your on the fatter side than me now :p
will do lee, i take it i'm not allowed to use silicone on this one lol lol lol
The graphics were done by a chap local to me, i had a favour or two owed so he did a job lot of the nova and landy all in for 300 quid. Which was great but now the favours are equal so hopefully i dont need any more vinyl lol
I am very interested on your insight to the rear tyres though. My only umm and arrr at the moment is the wet tyres situation. I'm going for cut slicks obv but it will be interesting to see how they pan out as the current tyres sizes are 225/45. On track the car handled fantastic, whatever Chris T had the diff set to works great on track. The heat in all four tyres was very creditable proving they were all working well. I pushed the car very hard through the bends and it seemed very capable (had to, to have some fun). I am still pondering an antiroll bar of some sort to help flatten the front a touch but it doesnt need to be excessive, a similar result can be had in other ways depending on how lazy i am lol.
Main thing is to get the bits on the engine to let it drive like it was built to and not choking it anymore :thumb:
Yes you did ernie, which is partially why i didnt mind buying the tb's for this lump :d
will be nice to see this getting used again looks awesome though!!
Under 11 stone now slim lad lol :thumb:Quote:

They are pouring them into the moulds this week and i have been promised delivery before my trackday at the end of the month, although it may be tight and i might have to get the wets fitted the day before :thumb: (sure it wont come to that)
Good stuff!Quote:

that would be cool, apart from the fact they are being made full stop, if they were blanks off of a shelf then the time frame would be less. I dont know the time scale to pour a set from fresh but the window was 3weeks delivered which i presume allows for other orders being done/fitting mine in and a grace period to allow for cock ups ??
Oooh, one off casts :cool:Quote:

Getting rims made for you.. How posh.
lol lol posh, i wish
Just sods law they have no blanks on the shelf, which is a pain tbh as i hate waiting to long with a deadline looming. I suppose thats part and parcel of having such an awkward spec wheel lol
dan might have a set of 888's here in your size
Awkward owner you mean...lolQuote:

And me, awkward, never lol lol
That's huge!Quote:

I ment that you say 580..lol
Glad your still cracking on with it.
another small update..
in prep for Dar to come and set up my tb's i have ordered the last few bits i wanted and had the manifold machined for the brake servo pipe. Once arrived i stripped off all the old crap and made the tb's up and sat them on the engine.
Another that come to pass is choice of strut brace, as i have no time to faff about i may either remove my current one and refit when filter is on or i have tidied up my old one to use. Both options are not ideal but will get be fine to get the trackday out of the way

brace

I was gonna say the brace is ok, just needs to be a different colour.
Nice one dude, you may as well have put the back plate in for the filter though, fiddly job on the car by your self.. don't drop any bolts for the trumpets lol
And if the second brace is like the sparco one me and Dar have it will work fine with the filter on.
Scott
I'm gonna be selling my Sparco brace.
yum yum
:cool:
The second brace will work fine, but having said that, once the filter is on the red one will be fine anyway as i'm not one to be ripping the filter off every 2 seconds lol see how i feel :)Quote:

Is the Ram filter going to be for sale Dan? Looking really good btw
