Also sits over the front end though, you should find it has an amazing tendency to resist any kind of pivoting motion, i.e cornering lol

that may be the case but it can be made to work. look at alfa 33's for instance, they are known for awesome handling yet the whole of the engine is infront of the front wheelsQuote:

Interesting to say the least, i was also wondering about the rocker covers, as hear they warp etc.
Now as others say it should in theory handle quite bad as theres an extra head hanging over the front, Jack's V6 is lethal (his own words)
And i see what your saying about the XE/LET's but surly the gearbox helps to counter weight this?
Good luck though mate, nice to see your back.

seems so, same setup as a nova basically, besides a rear beam which is mounted in a slightly funkier fashion (only seen a fairly iffy pic of the setup but it seems to just maintain a track width slightly better) defies the basic principles of a car that handles well but seems to work for whatever reason :wtf:Quote:

Hmm, my engine runs a LOT cooler with the metal covers than the plastic ones. I did put this down to better airflow in the engine bay though.
As for the handling, meh. Mine could drag itself round corners pretty well with the XE, but the V6 understeers like there's no tomorrow. Any details on your suspension setup, any tips on improving mine would be ideal lol
Looks very nice.
I think i have seen your white nova with v6 in at york dragway and that was pretty rapid.Also seen it near where i live as i nearly passed out seeing another nova in town lol.
Chavs lol
Looking good mate, your bro was telling me about it today, sounded interesting
Looks good so far. Look forward to updates!
