Keep the Polo Lights, it looks mean.
Cheers Nick :) And Steven, you should've come said hello, always keen to chat with fellow enthusiasts :thumb:
Here's a pic with one nova light fitted, I lost the drivers side light when I moved out of the workshop, so I'm currently borrowing one of Nova neil (cheers buddy!)

I think I will return to the polo light setup. I'm going back to work next week and I know we had some Lexan kicking around that I can fashion into some headlight covers, then smoke them up with tint film or similar for a funky look :cool:
now that just looks like any normal wide arched, black bonneted mk2 nova lol
go round :D lol
Big thanks to Olly H and his mate Matt for coming over and helping to diagnose my mystery misfire, turns out the DIS pack is to blame. Easimap is a lovely bit of kit and I'll be investing in a £2 Ebay comm lead so I can look like a pro with my laptop hooked up :cool:
So I need to purchase a new DIS pack, any recommendations as to which are best and where to buy from would be gratefully received :thumb:
Also whilst diagnosing some problems with Olly's car we noticed that the spacers behind my rack had fallen out on one side, resulting in some quite severe rack wobble :tard: All fixed now tho, undid the ally mounts, slid some packing in behind and tightened it up! Its quite shocking how much the bulkhead flexes though :eek:
Cheers Olly and Matt!
Been struggling with cash flow lately, hence why no real updates :(
But I went and tried the Calibra's coilpack on the Nova today and.......WOW :eek: It's so much faster than i ever remember it being, it pulls so much harder and cleaner throughout the rev range, and feels genuinely a lot faster than I can remember :D:D:D I reckon the coilpack must've been dodgy for a long time! I will be purchasing a new coil pack next week!!! I'll try and get some cam vids tomorrow ;)
:cool:
Seriously :cool: I'm that convinced that its quicker, that I want to RR it and take it to the Pod!!!
Old coilpack was probably giving a weak spark or something?
Or youve got so used to driving that calibra with the barge big block, that the nova seems uber quick :cool: lmao
Yeah the old coilpack was funked, it has been spluttering on start up for a while, and i'd noticed that my driving style had gradually got modified to the point that I was keeping the revs quite high to avoid large throttle openings which would cause hesitation and sluggishness, now I can give it full throttle from idle and it shoots off :D And its started torque steering and wheelspinning again :eek: Might head up maccy D's and do some PHAT burnouts geeza! lolQuote:
