Yes but have plenty room for chunky rally tyres. I've got the sizes somewhere and a 16" alloy should easily fit.

Cool :)
Good work going on there mate :thumb:
Is Chris still doing carbon fibre bits for nova's baz?
Other tub turned up. I'll get it to the shop tomorrow hopefully.

No idea mate, last I heard he wasn't doing nova parts anymore worth an ask though!
A few parts turned up today. 6 of each, left and right hand rose joints and adapters.

Lots of nice parts arriving, just need to see them put together now :)
Aye, getting there slowly. Should come together pretty quick now though.Quote:

Wow those tubs look massive. Can't wait to see it all welded up with the turrets.
That's what I thought when I saw them lol they'll be cut to suit though. Hopefully some good updates this week.
Love it! I would just mount those tubs up as high as you can i.e. to that top edge near the window line.
looking good I have my eye on this :)
Are you planning on running a 295 section tyre?
:) cheers. I was over to the shop forgot to mention anything about mounting the tubs. Not quite ready for them yet though.Quote:

Nice work with the cage!
I've got a carbon blank going in, decided not to cut the roof off just now.
cheers it's getting there.
Some pics from today. More to come on Thursday.

Looking good it all takes time
Flying along now... Cool.
Coming together slowly but surely now Bazz, you must be glad of the decent progress mate ;)
Might be silly, but. Will you not be running seats mounted on rails, rather than std mounts? Just odd they've left the strengthening bit in the floor for them... And wont the turrets be all different as you'll have rear uprights as its 4x4?
Cheers it's getting there mate.Quote:

This is the most epic build-thread I've ever seen lol Love the workmanship going into this, and while I'm sure you do, I can't for the life of me suss out what she's going to look like. Awesome!
Thanks mate means a lot! There are lots more epic builds out there though check out THe Simps one! Will just look like a normal nova from the outside except for the carbon. Inside and underneath is a different story though lol
Nice to see some progress on this, it may be taking a while but it certainly looks like they know what they are doing. Fingers crossed you can keep the exterior looking fairly subtle too that would be great.
Was in today Bary work is looking really good can't fault it Robbie is doing a really good job and coming together quickly now :)
Aye slow and steady :) as said the exterior should look pretty much standard but carbon instead of metal so should be all good.Quote:

I've a set of gm eurosports I think I'll be using not 100% on it yet though. No rear beam being used ;) nah should be all good because I have the width on the tubs to run wider stuff if need be :)
If no rear beam is used then what width are you aiming for? Is it a custom style beam with a rear disc break setup your fitting??
Also if a different rear setup will you need to find a different handbrake set to wire in or are you aiming for a standard Nova one?
Not sure in the width yet tbh I'll discuss that with the fabricators and see what's what's. Instead of a rear beam it's getting rose jointed wishbones that will connect to the diff cradle 3 of them at each side. Prob a set of wilwood 4 pots on the rear.
Nice, it should be cracking then. Obviously your fitting a bias brake setup then to get it all running in harmony mate as you don't want too heavy braking at the backend ;)
Yeah sure am mate, I'll get brakes sorted out nearer the time but what ever I put on the front I'll put on the rear to keep it simple. Most likely wilwood ones though :)
Yeah plenty of time for all that but it's best to think ahead as it will be quite critical lol
Who needs brakes lol aye it'll all be in hand mate :)
Cracking stuff
Looks great
Thanks Edd :)
Bazz you should also get stickers made to go over your carbon parts to make this a negative of a Nova Sport graphic wise.
I was thinking of doing something tbh no idea what yet though! I'm open to ideas though!
Cage and fab is looking very good.
