Slight update had the nova in the bodyshop last few days to hsve some work done, i am over the moon with the work looks excellent paint work is awesome as well (my main fear as the std paint work was superb for its age)
i had a mrk 1 tailgate smoothed and fitted

had the rear arches trimmed and sealed to stop them rubbing on hard acceleration, also the std filler has been welded and smoothed

Awesome mate! Where's the filler cap now then?
fuel tank is in the spare wheel well insdie the car
Looks nice, a GTE spoiler now would finish it off!
Stickers arent to my taste, aside from this its a top build.
Did the cage go in today?
Thats got to be one of the best jobs Ive seen of smoothing the filler cap, lets hope it stays that way mate, looks ace.
Scott
yes its awesome, the guy who did it has plated it on both sides so no water will get in and rust through, the paint finish is superb will get him to do a few more things for me from now on :)Quote:

had a few issues with the gear linkage and a leaking water pipe but nothin major and all was fixed and was able to drive it back home :)
sound testing was better than i thought 99db
the nova was savage it was spinning in almost all 6 gears, when the linkage broke i could only get 3rd and 4th not ideal as it was on the limiter going up to avon rise in 4th at 124.8mph wouldve been up to 140+ if i had 5th and 6th :) tyres werent perfect didint have tiome to fit my 888's so had to run with the road tyres good year f1's, the r888's would ve given me alot more grip
it was my first time out in the car so i was generally just getting used to it and as the session went on i had more confidance in the car/brakes etc and was starting to push when the linkage broke and then session cut short due to red flag!!!
once i get used to it a bit more it will be epicly fast,its now tucked away in the garage until next time
thanks to my brother for his help and stu and tom for the pictures!!!
no videos only had 1 session and was only out for around 9 minutes
looked good mate.
Glad it went ok..
Car was superb today so so quick! grip was a problem
but with some slicks the power Can be used fully, but still was extremely lively Gary getting more and more used to the insane acceleration! Brakes were awesome handling seemed very good, very responsive little if no understeer, shame the linkage tried to break, but i and it had words and it soon was sorted, coolant leak due to garys incompatance lol but with a few scolds later it was sorted, a full trackday is in order
i had more sessions booked but had to sell them to my mate (red 205) as we had to wait for the engine to cool down before we could fix the leaking pipe and linkage without 3rd degree burns!!! so we missed the sessionsQuote:

i did catch a glimpse of you today and the car was looking well, alas i had only popped in to merlin for some fuel couplings and seen you drive by (prob on way back from sound test) whilst sat in my veccy talking to a mate i had just driven by
yeah went for sound testing about 11ish, before i bought some track passes! will get a full day booked up soonQuote:
