Nice - dry sump has been on my 'want-but-too-scared-to-cut-my-nova-up' list for years... Your pics dont make it look too bad at all though...
There's a cheap new kit on Mig that keeps me dribbling.... so what will you be revving to, to warrant such mechanical porn??
-
The kit on Mig is well priced for whats included, and that tank will go into a Nova..
I never really planned for the DS, it just came up at the right price so made sense. Only really planning to rev about as far as you do, but nice to know its there for those long corners, and means i can comfortably experiment with slicks in the future if i want to.

Exactly - I have no doubt that my baffle will keep me safe with my 888s, but less so if I go full slick...

Engines done.
Last visit and collection today. Popped it in the van around 12:30

Got it home and lifted out, then lowered it onto an old bread crate and fab'd up some mounts for it to sit on. (then painted it cuz I'm gay)

Looks good, should go OK, so just need a car to put it in.
Massive thanks to Lee, Top bloke with loads of knowledge, really glad I went with him now and would recommend him to anybody considering a similar build.

I really don't like the look of wide arches on Nova's. I'm going to put it together with standard track rose jointed front arms etc and see how it goes.

I dont think Im going to have much luck keeping up with you now...
Let me know if you wanna sell that gearbox, I doubt Ill ever be able to afford it but its worth a try!
