My Nova 16v Project

No problem Matt - anytime, anywhere - just hollar :)

So, the Nova had its final bit of laughing gas today, Me & the wife went out for a blast on gas, then came back and Ste (LiquidPug) jumped in for a go in the scarey seat... certainly wasn't as "wow" it was at TOTB which is very strange, not much of a kick at all considering the 100shot jets were still in.

Hey ho, kinda glad of that, after driving it today for the first time since TOTB properly (apart from tinkle to the MOT station and back) I can safely say I think the car is quick enough with gas for now :)

Michelin S9Bs are now on the silver Cesaros, altho I probably won't be using these until next year now when we have some warm days again.

Just on the verge of booking onto the Donny/Oct and Rockingham/Nov days, as then we have the PNG Karting in December :)

Thanks Steve for all your help today with removing the Nitrous bits and bobs, and the tyre changing...

I can now go back to being anti-nitrous after trying it out lol jk

OK so I did what I said above, altho different locations as I want to try out different tracks all over the UK.

So up and coming booked on and paid for events now are:

Saturday 6th September - Castle Combe Euro Fest Action Day (4x sessions)
Sunday 26th October - Cadwell Park, Full Day, Open Pit
Sunday 9th November - Donington Park, Full Day, Open Pit

Anyone intersted in joining me for either?

Olly what time are you out at combe?

As always, no problem mate - just collecting some 'Hewitt' tokens for when I need a hand :thumb:

Benn, I'm out on track at 10:00, 13:00 and 15:15 so far... and I'll buy some more tickets on the day with any luck :) Some new pics would be awesome mate, have one of the ones you took last time at Combe on the wall in my garage :)

Ste, It'll be early next year - probably my January one.

Now my car has been on the road a year, done some working out - I've managed to do at least a trackday, or a sprint every month of the year between August 07 and August 08, sometimes twice.

I have one for Sept, Oct, Nov, possibly the noisey day at Donny in Dec... and hopefully I can continue to do so in 2009 :) until it blows up :thumb:

ace, defo will come watch, give me a chance to practice with the camera too :thumb:

10? Hope i'll see that, i'm out at 9:45, prob wont still be there at 1pm tho...

Good stuff Olly.
The pressure in the nitrous bottle will probably have been dropping down as it was running low....which could explain not giving the kind of boost it gave at totb.?
I may get that Donny trackday booked :)

Hopefully you can sort a 4th session for Combe, because i so need a passenger ride in this :cool:

lol so 4th session is yours, and 5th is Stuart's then lol

Bottle heater was on, and pressure on Nitrous gauge was 975psi, which is optimum, well, 950psi is optimum, anything over 1000psi is deemed unsafe, and at TOTB, we were constantly between 1050 and 1100 psi lol, without the bottle heater on lol
