Hi there im not that new to novaload but some of you mine have heard of me. I have a mk2 1.2i with a high lift cam and bolt on k&n. As you prob all no its not the fasted nova but for my first year of driving its done me well! I have spent 700 quid on the bodywork getting the arches all done front and rear and all the rust on the outside done to. There is still abit in the engine bay but will b soted later! I am realy pleased with what i have done to my nova and i no you won't all agree but if we were all the same life would b ****! I have bought a 1.4carb engine with gearbox and i plan to strip it down and rebuillt it with skimmed polished ported n gas flowed head oversized pistons and hopefully the high lift cam out of my 1.2 the iceing on the cake is a fully rebuilt set of dellorto twin 40's my wish is to have all of this done and the car running sweet for PV 07 and i could finally put some username's to faces i will post up so pics soon on how the projects going:thumb:
