Update as no doubt Ads not online to mention it lol
The car is on the road, MOT is booked for 9 am, it will be run in by Monday then booked in for mapping by the engine builder the following week :)
Few issues already though, geometry couldn't be any further out lol, brakes are truelly shocking so I'm not that convinced that the 16v master cylinder was the way to go after all :(
Besides that its probably the most noisy nova I've been in, possibly not as I'm far to used to driving around in a standard cavalier but I will be taking ear plugs for the running in process.
Next question is has anyone got the MBE software as I'd like to check what the map was the previous owner ran ;)
Get some big mahoosiveee ear defenders for the ring trip!
Glad to see its all come together, cant wait to hear the figures it puts out when its run in! Should be superb.

That makes 2 red novas that handle **** at the moment and dont want to slow down at all.Quote:

Well I've got it at home now ready for the MOT, I'm quite sure the handling issue is just simply geometry, nothing is really set properly yet so the drive to the MOT station tomorrow will be different lol
Brakes work ok actually, however pedal travel is awful, I'm not sure if that is me being to used to my own car though as V6 calipers to tend to give that problem.
Either way its so nearly road worthy, got 2 A4 pages worth of bits to do ready for the ring but nothing except geometry is getting done before its mapped and we know its all ok.
Another late update lol
The car passed its mot without any problems
Its booked onto Track and Roads rollers for tuesday evening.
So far whilst running it in I can tell the gearbox is going to fall to pieces so I have another arriving to be diffed and fitted before tuesday.
Whilst out last night the crank seal on the oil pump decided to fall out just before I pulled over (which was just as well) oil everywhere as you can imagine but nothing more than belt and seal replacement so al is good there.
A few pics from last night inc the worrying moment
