My Nova 16v Project

Bushless suspension rocks (literally haha) Understand totally your reasons on not going proper wide track, hence why mine is just running spacers! I do think there are gains to be had from proper wide track, but maybe not enough to justify the cost...
Loving the weight saving you're doing, you'll be snapping at my heels soon! I best get the holesaw out again lol.

And 300+(bhp) on the TOTB site...I take it thats with a serious squirt of laughing gas :D

Nah - the bhp claims on the site was them I think, as there wasn't a space for it on the entry form - and I certainly wouldn't over exagerrate my power figures, however I think I am the only one without that figure! lol

Infact, I'm probably theee only car with under 200bhp lol

You'll be a damn site lighter than most though ;)

I got some gas you can borrow Olly!

I'm surprised that Chip isn't insisting that you run nitrous, he was (as usual) quite blunt with me when I offered to run in '06.

I'd prefer to do it sans NOS if possible. Would be something of an achievement to have a N/A 1.6 litre Nova mixing it with the TOTB big boys http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif

Doing it without nitrous would also be silly on the handling circuit though, there are a couple of straights you would be quicker down with the nitrous its a real power circuit really, hence the skylines manage ok on it, its not like going round the haynes track where a 1.6 16v nova might be fairly quick.


BUT if you qualify without nitrous, and want to run without it, im not going to exclude you from the team just cause you are a bit dim about motorsport and using whatever the rules dont expressly forbid! http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/lmao.gif

heh - very subtle!

Mazz... sounds tempting - but I wouldn't have a clue how to fit it.

I suppose it would help me on the straights...


TOTB Downloadable Event Program now available:

Chip/Spanish/Jonlem etc are all nitrous users though, im sure they could have you a kit fitted on the day.....
But being on bodies means you will need direct port kit.......

Yup - thats right Ad.

Slight change of plan on the day, so it seems - just checked out the program and we are limited to only 5 attempts at the handling circuit, so I will definately be doing 1/4mile and Top Speed runs, I certainly ain't going home with only 5 handling attempts lol

Happy days!

Gas it is then lol
