L33 LEG's bodging about...

.

So you've gone from a 16v back to an 8v? Why??

.

Cracking stuff mate. Goes to show if u want something it's worth waiting for.

Ive got an e16se for my nova but always preferred the c16se as its got a coil pack and no airflow meter. Only thing I thought was the wiring loom for the c16se engine was intergrated with the car loom?
Also I'm sure I saw a proper nova air box for that engine for sale the other day. Can't think if it was on here or one of the Facebook nova groups. IMO would be nicer with the proper air box.

+ everybody I've known to have a x16xe has slated them!
Its nice to see a nova engine in a nova IMO.

.

Ah i see so you just hid the engine side of the loom out the way, that was lucky init!! Ill have a scout about on the nova groups on Facebook for you shortly.

Also might be worth pm'ing John h on here as I sold him 1 a while back then saw he put it up for sale a little while after. Im not sure if he still has it or not but worth a try.

.

Good luck with the air box mate
Really hard to find one
Good engine the c16se

Had a quick glance but can't find it. Annoying me now lol will carry on looking.

.

I like the 16v as it fills the engine bay making good use of the space lol

.

I think you have made the right choice!

8v motor and speedlines proper gsi

Looking good, Interior looks nice, like the wheel.

Looking very smart Lee, don't forget to put covers on your battery terminals cause when you fit the carbon scuttle cover they arc across with carbon conducting electricity.

Mask the whole car inside and black rattle can the roof in autoglym fabric die... obviously take the interior back out lol

I like the wing vent , should have done it before i had mine painted!

.

Looking very nice indeed Lee. Makes me want to pull my finger out etc. etc. lol

Looks great, the red looks spot on

Agreed too easy to have everything black and boring in the bay. Wish I'd had ordered bright hoses. Looks good.

.

Nice! ;)

Agreed on the red hoses! Liking the subtle contrast, the black and red complement each other nicely. Good job Lee.

.

.

Looking very nice :)

Make sure you cover your battery terminals because if the Scuttle cover makes contact you'll be in trouble ;)
