My version of a 4x4 nova that will get done!

lol, i often ask my self, why havent "big" things been done to alot more novas, and i think the answer is that they are FWD.

there will always be alot of work getting them to RWD and most people dont want it, or cant do it. and if it was me, i would ask my self, why do it to a nova, start with a better base like a kit car etc etc.

and i guess the people that do it are all nutters lol.

at least your has FWD and RWD when its done lol. the other guy who has the spaceframe nova, stil has his engine in the front!

RWD is the only way forward IMO

Great progress. Tubs look good. Keep it up.

Totally disagree. Rear drive may well be the best way to go on paper, but there is something about fast front drive cars. For a start, you'll never get a rear drive as light as a front drive on two similar sized shells and sometimes that counts just as much as drive layout.

Ive seen many a sorted rear drive track car be completely unable to live with Dar's Nova around combe (and that includes Caterhams), and some of these guys can properly pedal as well.

IMO its horses for courses.

that was the friday mate you dont want to know what we got upto on the sat pmsl

i feel that certain drive types are better suited to certain cars and conditions

my cav turbo was awsome in 4x4 form realy planted and drove so smooth and fluent and silly quick out the bends for a big car but it always felt firm and planted

that said though through the same bends and the same pace theres something so much more satisfing about scrabling around and beeing on the point of no return throwing a front engined front wheel drive car round it

my beemer was the fun one out of all the drive types and even though it wasnt the best to drive when your stairing out the side windows to look in your direction of travel it doesnt realy matter because your grin is from ear to ear any way
