Why would you want a rr shootout for 1.2 novas??
Chocolate & fireguard spring to mind...........
A well set up 1.2 carb will whip a 1.2i
I reckon buying a decent grinder & a set of number stamps plus the biggest engine you can will be the best thing.
you are the one whom recommends spunking a **** load of machining costs on a 1.2/1.4 hybrid lol. isnt that equally pissing in the wind.
Plus anyone with half an ounce of brain will know that someone trying to palm off a 100bhp 1.2 that isnt revving to 9K is a lying cnut lol
Martin, you have and SPi, you may just as well get on the rollers next to the car and run to give it a bit of extra go lol
Your only hope is Nitrous. Just a small nip of it will give you the edge to win the shootout, you dont need a bucket load of it lol
How about some of that friction reducer shiznit in the gearbox oil, optimax, high tyre pressures & minimum engine oil etc
Adjusting the Bellend may help.
Its not really worth spending even a tenner on it is it in the long term...
I thought the Nova was going to be a 16v, hence the plug cover in your WIP
Can get more gains overall on the spi engine! Its a better engine/system, just heavily restricted in std form.Quote:
