Great mods they from Ben?
Wheels look like posh light weight ones too?
How many sets of wheels/tyres do you take to events?

Were you get that tailgate with rear light blanks on or is a custom one . I like that
Rear quaters are the next job on my drag car looking forward to seeing it with new quaters on iv been thinking about making standard shape fiberglass quaters for it

Good grinder action can't wait to see them go on. Are you filling the rear light holes or don't they leak too badly?
Wow, there's a name from the past, I had no idea they were still going.Quote:

I am bud they are making me them up to the bottom of the window so it will be an arch extension . In my opinion no different than the peugeot 106 dimma rear archs if people want to whinge we shouldnt be using perspex winscreensQuote:

It’s the cutting out of metal (part of the monocoque) between the centres of the wheel hubs that’s more the issue.Quote:

Is that not just the inside ? To be honest colin im sure we could go around the paddok and find allsorts with other cars .im pretty sure there are a few novas that race done this way . And 1 other thing i thought of wat would happen if the rear quaters had really bad rot in them can you even still get the rear quaters .and to be honest if people do winge ill go in sports libre and put a bike engine in it [emoji48]Quote:

Rear 1/4's on their way to you via TNT . I've left the tail light holes solid so it seals better for you with your dummy tail lights on your tailgate. Hope that was ok if not you can always cut them out ! Cheers Dave
Same in all motorsport mate . Certain drag events that invole people racing in very expensive road going supercars against home made drag cars also get a bit touchy when they realise there cars arnt quite as fast as they thought and like to moan about silly things .
Brilliant mate ill be getting a few more things off you guys after crimbo . Spot on with the tail lights budQuote:

There was a whole load of fuss at Gurston some years ago about inner wheel arches (especially on Minis), and my Nova got crawled all over by the scrutineers after someone complained about it.Quote:

Exactly why I don't wanna race and just stick to trackdays!!
Ok the thrill isn't quite there but fuck having some cry babies complaining cos I'm faster than them
On a trackday we get bellends refusing to move out the way cos they don't want the shame of a Nova passing them in their Porsche, but mostly people come up to us and can't believe how quick our "little shit novas are"!!
Fair play to you guys for sticking at it
I refuse to back down mate as the blue book of rules and regs are looked upon differently by different people so msa now motorsportuk leave themselfs open to things like thisQuote:

Fair play mate, I guess it’s like an MOT it’s all open to the tester’s interpretation of the rules.Quote:

In my series only a handful of cars are built to the book, we are all car guys and we all know what’s right and what’s wrong but nothing really gets said. I think everyone knows that if someone spits their dummy out half of the grid will need disqualifying so we all just get on with it.
Having said that its not a bad idea to quietly take a good look at the cars who’s drivers are most likely to complain.
Thanks novark for the panels spot on top quality super stokedhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b4c2757fe9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3b36434867.jpg
