this is some serious build im defo watching to see how may ponies you pull!
the torque was 198, all starts at about 4000 then drops off at 7800, when I go mechanical, I'll raise the rev limiter to 8500 to allow for the longer power band from the sbd 300s, then I think 300 Bhp is on the cards, but dry sump conversion will be next for bomb proof oil supply on the track. Iv also got to start looking at custom tca/tie bar setup at some point to, aswell as ripping out the back seats and caging it, so sorry power monkeys, you'll have to wait for the 300 mark, but it will get there, soon :)
Must be overbored to at least 2100cc I assume? :)Quote:

nice mate glad its making good power! Hope you get your 300 bhp!
Well touch wood we have got to ramsgate ok with no probs, changed me wheels over to my new ones with eagle f1s on so I cam scrub em in driving to nurburg. just waitin to get on the ferry!
looks loads better in that red mate .... smart as
have a good time mate.
Thanks folks, just need to try and get my handling sorted before I go round the nordschleife! I hope gaz can airmail lol
300bhp is going to be mega. id look at catcams or even the silly QED 460's, but the 460s really are a 5k+ cam. i dont rate the piper cams at all. i fitted some 270 newmans, with r1 carbs, wossners, head work and TLE exhaust and made 225@fly peaking at 6.5k. but then you start heading towards 300bhp the car will be a pig too drive. if you had a car that pulled from 3k up to say 7.5/8k, it would be better to drive and quicker than another car that didnt pull til 4.5/5k up coming out the bends would be a nightmare and a bitch too drive.
thanks for advice! well done it, 3 laps round the nordschleife, 10.29 best time, which on speaking to some english lads there who had been round in evos and rs focus's, is quite good! really demanding on the car and body though, car never dropped below 4 grand! cant wait to come again but im taking the car to a proper race setup place to get all my suspension set properly as it was twitchy as fook going round some of the lairyer bends! i think harry hockley will be having a call when i get back!
You get any vids?
No buddy, got couple of pics before and after was to focused ( twitchy arsed lol ) to do bids on track
gutted would have been a good watch vids next time lol
congrats mate bet yum pleased to fuk ay ya lol and i still aint sid your nova!
Lol my threads still here :) update soon the beast is about to come bk out to play watch this space ;)
hey all, well im finally bk on ere after a couple of years out, career, kids the usual things that keep us away from our hobbies lol! anyway life has settled abit now and its time to start tinkerin with the nova again! its pretty much as left from a couple a years ago when i did the nordschliefe in it, bar 2inch of dust coverin it lol. fired her up for first time earlier in the week n she stiull purrs just as she did and goes like s@*t off a shovel still so not much changed :D few things i got to do to get the project ticking again, wanna fit a gte/gsi/td rear arb should av been done ages ago but hey. also wanna set it up on equal length shafts, just need to source the intermediate shaft, bracket and bearing and a comp drive shaft to suit, that is unless there is a comp intermediate shaft but from my research that stay the same and u just use a comp drive shaft ( n just a reminder the novas 250bhp so cant compromise on shafts ;) ) next aswell is to weld in my rear strut brace that i cut at work last night all tryin to tighten up the back end. another trick little thing im tyrin to do is modify my astra digis bulbs to get round the constant popping lol, experimenting with leds and normal g4 bulbs and holders so see wat i come up wiv :) anyways enough for now, wish me luck :D
Hey up mate got the bug again lol?
Lol alryt bud, yh I have never died really just got put on hold
