Just running the nova arb or going to do a secondary one?
Just going to run it like that, I'll only be driving it on the road and doing drag strip runs, don't think I'll benefit from an extra ARB.Quote:

Great stuff!
Awesome work there man, if you can get the wheel trims on definitely do it lol
Beast of a Nova, pretty much as i would have wanted back in the day [emoji16]
The hidden gauge in the vent looks spot on too

Building a custom Rose jointed shortened gear linkage using all stainless fasteners, this involved quite a bit of cutting, drilling and tapping threads Into it, but was well worth it in the end, theres a big difference between the standard linkage, added holes for small weight saving [emoji23]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6be4492f91.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7c85e47dcf.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...41dbb14778.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...371da33522.jpg

Good mod. It's hassle but feels loads better. Not something I'd personally consider weakening with holes although I guess this ones way stronger than standard to begin with
Yeah I know what you mean, this one was atleast double the thickness of the standard part, so should be ok, it's held up fine so far.Quote:

GTE rear parcel shelf and supports, that were in need of some restoration, I stripped the supports down and re painted the metal parts, then sourced some higher quality fabric that is the same colour as the originals, and retrimmed them and the parcel shelf, I think I will retrim the whole boot carpet too, to make it super clean.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...afd563a406.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a41716bfb2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1f5308be61.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9bbdab6f81.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a8fd85f53a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...071cde2b1e.jpg

Parcel shelf looks really good, you should be happy with that.
Looks well where did you get the material from if you dont mind me asking?
On eBay, here. The light grey one I think.Quote:

Took the nova out for a test run over the weekend, I think it grips much better with the new wheels and tyres, here's a little video.

Looking great pal nice work. Got a xe rocker cover with the metal plug cover in vht matt black if interested no use to me now.
That charge cooler isn't going to be hugely efficient with such a small pre-rad. did it and get a bigger one... Ive seen Fiat Cinqecento rads used.
Yea that charge cooler rad would be better a lot thinner and a lot bigger to get more air across a thinner larger area, nice work fitting the chargecooler in there though, looks a tight fit!
