Well she's all built back up now, got a new fuel sender off Southie, so now i have a fuel gauge, got 2 nearly new tyres from my scrappy, popped them on the Mistrals and stuck them back on, had the car tracked and had a new n/s/f wheel bearing done, it drives like a neW car now! :thumb:
Just a quick pic of it when i washed it the other day, still looking good?

looks awesome mate look after it
looking good back on the mistrals fella
Right heres a good update for once lol... which i know msot of you will be pleased with
Tonight i was sat outside the car with everyone, jsut talking about eachothers cars, and looking at mine i finally realised what everyones been telling me for years... the exhaust.......... looks shiote lol
So managed to strike up a deal tonight with a mate, im doing a straight swap with mine for his on his corsa, a twin tip 3" outward rolled one off a Corsa

The hangers will need bending round 90* to fit on the Nova's mounts, but heres the plan
Im going to cut off one of the tips and welt a circular plate over the hole left, so it will be a much smarter, 3" outward rolled single tip backbox :thumb:
Hopefully putting it on tomorrow, so will get pics of it on, and then pics once ive chopped it up lol
Bout bloody time!
You might find you need to do a lot more than simply bend the hangers, they'll be in the wrong place and probably at the wrong height.
Nothing a grinder and welder cant sort though.
Assuming the box actually mates up to a nova system and sits right.
Personally id try it as it is atm (twin exit), twin exits do look good and its a simple job to just wip it off again and change it if you want to. Everyone has a 3" exhaust lol So it might look a nice change.
Corsa backboxs mount considerably different to Nova ones Dave.
getting some afterburners next dave?
its a 1L a nice 2.5" single inward will do :)
Indeed they are :(Quote:

Hopefully tomorrow ill get it on the ramp, bent it so it comes out straight (easier said than done) and cut and weld new hangers onto it, it does sound nice though, more quiet than my old one, plus gives a nice raspy sound out, tempted to keep it twin exit if i can make it sit perfect :thumb:
Well a good update which turns into a bad one :(
Managed to get the bakbox on of sorts, this is the straightest i could get it to hang, however when i was driving it was nocking like hell on the rear footwell and also would need bending quite alot to get it perfect.. pics

In these pcss the back box was held up with cable ties, anyway as i was driving to work this morning the cable ties decided to snap, releasing the backbox and sending it crashing down to the road lol, which gripped onto soemthing and ripped the backbox clean off! luckily the clamp wasnt on mega tight so it just pulled itself out of it
So my mate Tom has said i can have my old one back for now, as he's not driving yet so its only sat at his garage, so the chav tastic one goes back on tomorrow for the time being, untill i get a better job and can spend some money on a better bakbox :thumb:
Anyone want a twin exhit sportex backbox for a Corsa B, M62 between junction 7 and 6 Westbound, about halfway between, theirs one on the grass verge somewhere :thumb:
