White decals for me, reds to in your face ott with red car etc..
White decals, T1Rs, win! The new rims look sweet
I'm not too sure on stickers really. I think the wheels look pretty plain without them as theres just a large solid area but then I don't think it look right with stickers fitted. Hmmmmm....
Anyway, I received my T1R's today so will be getting Conza to fit them at his work on Saturday. We're also going to be fitting my 2.0 brakes, front ARB and rear 80mm springs. I've also ordered an ITG foam filter and red 45 degree hose to replace the airbox. I've also ordered a top tint sun strip which I will fit until I can afford to get a proper top tint screen. Hopefully that lot arrives tomorrow/Saturday so I can get it all fitted at once.

Well, me and Conza had a semi-successful day today. We got the Toyo's fitted and now they don't scrub the arches which is a relief! We also managed to get the -80 rear springs fitted which lowered the car a bit more so it fits pretty nice now. I didn't manage to get any pictures but will get some tomorrow. We also fitted my 256mm ATE brakes and EPC drilled and grooved discs. We didn't know which rotation they were so after looking on the internet we fitted them. After I got home I searched EPC discs and it turns out we fitted them the wrong way round. So now I've got to remove them and refit them the right way! Never mind...
We also went to fit my front anti roll bar to find out that I had been supplied with the wrong clamps. So now I'm on the lookout for some of the smaller ones.
Also, a couple of hours after fitting the tyres I went to go out in the Nova again to find that one of the rear tyres had deflated. Now, when I had the 195/50 tyres fitted I had the same problem with the tyre going down everyday on that same rim. Also, because the rims came off a Nova rally car they are not 100% straight. The wheel that keeps deflating is much, much worse than the rest and required 100g of weights to get it balanced right. I'm thinking this may be the problem with the tyres deflating so I've got to try and find another wheel (near impossible) or fit an inner tube which I don't really want to do.

you forgot to add we changed your 20 year old brake fluid so your car we actually stop lol
looks a great car mate :)
Here's a couple of pictures of how the car sits now i've changed the rear from 60mm to 80mm. The height isn't perfect as I would ideally like the arch to be in line with the top of the rim but it's good enough!

Not an update, just a revision to a **** up! lol
On Saturday I managed to get the Nova on a ramp so I changed the disks around so they are now the right way!
My dad also managed to undo the screws for the dust cover so we removed that as well instead of having it cut out/away.
I also managed to get my wheels sorted. I took the wheel over to the bodyshop and prepped the cracked area and smeared lots of JB Weld over the inside and the outside of the cracked area of the wheel. It seems to have worked as no air is escaping which is a good thing!
I've also been bargain hunting again on eBay and managed to buy a pair of black Magnum bucket seats with side mounts for £120! They should hopefully arrive tomorrow so I'll get some pictures when they do.

I've also been thinking about removing the sideskirts as after looking at a few Nova's without them I think they look better. They're only screwed in from the bottom so won't be hard to remove but the passenger rear has some sealant holding it on! I don't know whether I can remove the skirt and sealant without taking the paint as well so I don't know what to do really!
I couldn't wait to get home and unwrap my seats and luckily they did not get damaged during posting! But, they are a bit more 'worn' than the pictures on eBay... They've got a couple of small holes and the foam has deformed a little. I'm going to be sending the seller a message after this as he didn't describe them as being in this condition.
I'm going to be keeping them no matter what as they are really nice/comfortable seats and are VERY lightweight. They are MAGNUM Motorsport carbon kevlar seats and are pretty old school (manufactured in 2001). I think they were pretty cheap at £120 for the pair too including the side mounts.
I've already contacted MAGNUM about new covers and have got to send them a couple of pictures to confirm they can supply them. Once they confirm they can do new covers I shall be getting the seat backs painted.
