The SXI wheels are for general running around / trackday / drag strip action and have Yokohama A539's on them.

The show wheels are my Wolfrace Voodoo's in Anthricite running Michelin Exalto rubber (bit more longer lasting than Yoko's)

More of an update quickly - managed to get the subframe welded to the runners for the passenger seat and installed .....

Next jobs are to sort out the passenger side kick panel, make up a panel for behind the central console and sort the passenger side shelf and glove box.

Yeah, I like the 1.0 L look !!!!! :cuckoo: No its there just so I can move the hubs around whilst I was sorting the brakes and driveshafts.

I have a Momo Race on a snapoff to go one once I have sorted the digidash(s)

I also heard on the radio this week that designer labels are now getting too common and the new "in" thing is "bespoke" - ergo I have a trendy car as most things on it are one off or "bespoke" lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

They are standard Sparco Torino's which have been retrimmed in alcantara. Nova subframes have been adapted to fit the sparco sliders so I still have full front - back adjustability.

Rears are just standard SR ones that have been retrimmed to match the fronts.

I am currently having some door cards and sunvisors sorted to match the rest of the interior.

Cheers

nice one looks smart!

This has come on really far since I lasy saw this thread a few weeks back. All credit to you mate. I just hope you aren't disappointed with the car when you drive it.

See you at PV - I'll come say hello and we can share notes on Nova LET nightmares! lmao

this really is goin to be a 07-plate nova, its brand new lol

top work mate!!

Started working on the rest of the dash bits .....

Did a mock up of the digi-dash with the corsa clock surround - square peg round hole springs to mind ....

It will need some trimming at the top corners but looks like it will just fit (hopefully!)

Also started sorting the surround for the CD-changer in the glovebox ....

Also started on fitting the Nos progressive controller to the inside of the glovebox lid - I'm having to make up a cover for the unit to cover over the bolts and wiring ....

Needs a bit more smoothing over and then flocking !

Also finished off the new ashtray with the two temp display units for the intercooler inlet / outlet sensors ....

Just need the displays putting in and wiring up.

Thats it for now - more updates shortly.
