Car looks well in them pics Olz, was going well too :thumb:
You can't tell its much higher on the front in the last pic compared to the others, although the back seems to look as if we raised it to much! But never the less you were still happy with how it was handling so we did something right!!
Glad your all hyped up again after the few issues its thrown up over the last couple of trackdays. Keep at it man:D
Yeah man, and I think we're all back there on 4 weeks on Sunday :thumb: :D
<off topic> Crikey, I must be getting old. Been trying to get my hands on a sunroof-shell for added creature comforts and all that. All to no avail here in Holland. Ar$e. Never mind, one day... either that, or buy an old Lexus LS400. rrr zzz rrr zzz... :p </off topic>Quote:

Cheers,

P.S. have watched all your vids over the past week, it's like doing Silverstone again. Really weird - whilst watching I actually move about in my seat as though I'm negotiating the twisties myself. Much much better than doing Gran Turismo on the PS2. Thanks so much for putting your adventures on YouTube mate! :thumb::thumb::thumb:

I agree after reading all 239 pages and pictures realy got me back into Nova's and looking for a project my self. Thanks mate :D keep up the reportsQuote:

Hi,
Just been reading your thread from the start Olly, now my eyes are sore, glad iv made it to the end lol. Great work.
Didnt realise you were on PNG untill today :roll:
lol Thanks for reading and catching up Shaun - hope it wasn't too painful, and there were plenty of pics for you to look at :) :thumb:

Yeah, its looking abit sorry for itself at the mo lol, Simon has taken his coilovers back, which means i finely has to buy my own :roll: and the turbo has given up, i dont think these sccr help when it comes to the life of a turbo.
As Simon said, im considering taking the engine out and doing a little bit more detailing in the bay, like welding up those annoying little srew hole that will never be used again and to get the engine spec a little better.
Hope to catch up and see you Nova in action somwhere next year.
Dont think Simps will be ready by then lol
You BIG tart all that hard work doing wheels nuts up by hand! lol lolQuote:

Any thoughts on how to get my bonnet staying flat on track James?
And no... slowing down isn't an option lol
You could just do as you did with the rear screen....that layed flat enough on the track once it had fallen out lol lol
lmfaoQuote:

Should work fine, could drill two holes through the bonnet and metal bar, and then just nut and bolt it solid....Quote:

What manifold are you using? Because i'm thinking of getting an ashley exhaust like yours. I'm using a standard c20xe manifold and was wondering if i'll need to change the lengh of the exhaust aswell as the angle? Where did you get yours from? Hope you don't mind all the question. Nice project by the way, like the work that gone into it.
