The previously owner must of liked the angled exit of a mk1, and hence had the tail made like that. Id prefer a straight exit, but it'll do nicely. :cool:

All good, sits nicely, and even better doesn't tap on the car underside like the old system lol. It sounds pretty cool too :)

Good job Mr Ad!
Not sure if it suits the car but it does the job no doubt!
-
good stuff ad ,:thumb: what does it feel like to drive
-
Drives well mate, very well.
It even pulls fine from low down.
Im pleased with it tbh, and dont really see a reason to spend anything else on the engine. It does its job day in, day out, and has enough power to have some fun with :)
Im looking forward to taking it round Combe on the 19th, and seeing what sort of 1/4 times it does now at Pod :)
-
Good work, you need some GSI front door cards now to match in!
-
They will be on when i pick them up off Benn at Combe :cool: :D
-
Right, time for an update.
As most people know, i went Combe on the 19th, had a cracking day. Car had a good hammering, and even drove the 150mile there, and 150mile home without even as much as a misfire :D
Few pics:

Also had a passenger ride in Lee's, which made me realise i need more powahhh Lmao
So the plans are ARP rod bolts, headwork, Go-Tech MFi engine management from Jamsport, and a set of Newmanns 288 cams(good for 3k to 7.5k rpm), my current inlet is staying(i dont see it being much of a problem, tb's would be nice but ££££)
Hoping get that all sorted for this June/July time. Hopefully will see over 150bhp. :cool:
Also planning on getting another runaround and making my car more suitable for track, fully stripped, F/G bonnet and boot come to mind.
And finally, for this years PV etc i got hold of some 80/90mm rear springs off Twag, and they sit the rear end nicely.
Before on 60s(ignore rusting arch :( ):

Difference between 60s and 80s:

They will only be used for shows etc, as there not exaclty suited to good handling,Lol.
Thats all for now, update when the cams etc etc arrive.
-
good stuff Ad..
that's like me with the suspension, i have mine, 40/60 for everyday driving, and if i wanna take some nice pic's or car meet etc, i'll throw the 90's on and drop the front down lol
-
looks good at combe and is one of my favorite novas on here at the moment:thumb: .it was only 3 week ago when you said you had enough power but i think i can safely say you've been biten by the track buglol
-
Grab some pictures of it off your drive so we can see how it sits better!
P.S. Look at that arch :eek::p
