Not a bad pic for a camera phone!!
As some will have seen from my own thread Matt took a ride over to see me the other day. Top weekend for it with the weather being fantastic. I think he only did it to show me it does run and drive! lol It looks as spanking as ever to be quite honest and hell is it loud!! A pic shortly after he arrived.....

A little while later we went for a dual carriage way blast..... All I can say is that engine is truly epic!! The shear torque is absolutely unreal!! It makes a normal c20let nova seem quite bland! I was very surprised as I thought a 400bhp nova would be quite undriveable however this proved me wrong. The box ratios seemed perfect and being gentle with the throttle made sure all the power got put down without huge amounts of torque steer or spin. I know you had some tough times building it mate but definitely a job well done. Top marks to the mapper also...... Absolutely epic!!
Cheeky Matt on route home.....

Catch you soon mate.
Nick.
haha, was a good laugh
Trailer must be parked on the road
Looks great although I hate to say it but the ride height and wheel colour don't do it for me. It needs a more level hight or maybe slight nose down and I think silver or light anthracite wheel colour! Mainly because the wheels look too dark.
Otherwise an absolute stunner of a car that has always been a favourite of mine so please don't think for one second I'm putting the car down ;)
Need to be shown off at a show....
I agree completely and that's my thoughts exactly and im in the process of sorting it lolQuote:

That looks great!, loved it on the mistral wheels. Things like wheels and ride height are just fine tuning i bet its just nice to be driving it. Would also be cool to give the FMIC a flash of satin black, done that to myne and at a glance it hid the cooler well!.
It was a great feeling when i finally drove myne fully mapped.
thanks dan, I have thought about doing the cooler black but unsure
ive been getting some parts together recently, going to try some 16" wheels on it so I found these flat spoke mos, should look good once refurbed

and rare in this fitment

and ive been wanting to do away with the cambelt cover and backing plate etc for some time but didn't want to run with no guard at all, swindon infill guards are obsolete too so I couldn't get one of those so whilst trawling the for sale section on another forum I came across this, it was made as part of a batch for a group buy, cnc machined from billet alloy, very happy with it

Glad the wheels turned up mate, any of the tyres any good?
tyres ok but not keeping them, going to go 40 profile instead, thanks again for the heads up on them mateQuote:

Any more info on the cambelt insert - really like that - where was the group buy organised ? Any more available ?
Cheers

Your nova project Dave, that was quite literally shelved years ago! :)Quote:
